Pick an upset and a trap game

What game could you see us winning as underdogs, and then who could you see us losing to that we probably shouldn't?
Upset: Alabama. With it being at Bryant Denny, Alabama will pretty much automatically be a -3 favorite, probably more. I like where we match up with them, especially in the secondary. They lost a lot of key contributors as we all know, but that shouldn't be a problem with how well they're able to reload every year. While I'm not expecting us to go in there and get the W, I wouldn't be surprised if we came out with the upset.
Trap game: Florida. Ever since I first saw this game on the schedule I've been chalking it up as a trap. It's the game after Alabama if I'm not mistaken, so that won't help much either. I could see it coming down to being a defensive game and when that happens every mistake is critical.
Football needs to hurry the hell up.

Going with my upset at Auburn.
I agree with the Florida trap game.

Alabama
Vandy
UF
that's our schedule. So at least we get a Vandy buffer before going to Gainseville. And Vandy will be SO bad again this year we should be ok.
I think UF is the only really opportunity for a "trap" game loss. I'm very worried about that game.
For our upset it can honestly be any of Bama, LSU, Auburn. That being said I think come game week we will be favored over LSU. So I guess I would say Bama could be our upset. I'm very interested to see how their offense is. Because I think it will takes points to beat us this year.

Well, the ESPN FPI said we should be the favorite in every game except Bama 
so I guess my upset pick literally has to be Bama. Our defense will keep them off the scoreboard unless they decide to run it down our throats. The key for us will be the offensive line holding their own against Bama's nasty defensive line. If they can keep the QB somewhat clean, we could definitely win. If not, we're fricked.
As far as a trap game, Memphis? shite, that'd be embarrassing but we've lost to them with a really good team in the past.

Upset - State... Only because we play them in Starkville
Trap - Memphis... No one takes them serious and they had a decent team last season

Upset: AU (or LSU if you think they should be favored)
Trap: A&M. They have recruited really well and Chavis may get the D going.

Recall that Florida is going to have their hands full with Tennessee the week before we travel to Gainesville.

They lose a ton of talent from last year's ten-win, ranked Tiger High squad.

As of today, I see the Alabama game turning out two ways:
scenario I, Alabama wins 27 - 14 in a sloppy game and our offense can't get it going;
scenario II, Ole Miss wins 17 - 14 in an even sloppier game and we somehow catch the right breaks down the stretch to win on a field goal

I think we are gonna need Tennessee to win a very close game so Florida might be down when we play them
Posted on 8/18/15 at 9:26 am to HamzooReb
Rather, we need Tennessee to play physically and wear down Florida a bit because we still may be reeling even two weeks after the Alabama game.

Haha good lord the rant will be unreadable if UT FINALLY beats UF.
Posted on 8/18/15 at 9:40 am to GatorReb
It can't happen.

tRant won't be bad if Tennessee finally beats Florida.
Now, if the Big Orange escape Tuscaloosa with a victory in the Third Saturday . . . prepare thy anus.

They haven't beaten UF since '05.

I'm well aware.
However, in addition to Alabama being a much better team than Florida in 2015, there are far more Alabama fans on tRant than there are Florida fans.
