Looking at the Ole Miss Schedule

And until today, I didn't realize how tough it is.

Sept. 5 (Mon.) Florida State (Orlando)
Sept. 10 WOFFORD
Sept. 17 ALABAMA
Sept. 24 GEORGIA
Oct. 1 MEMPHIS
Oct. 8 Open date
Oct. 15 at Arkansas
Oct. 22 at LSU
Oct. 29 AUBURN
Nov. 5 GEORGIA SOUTHERN
Nov. 12 at Texas A&M
Nov. 19 at Vanderbilt
Nov. 26 MISSISSIPPI STATE

To start, you open with FSU in what amounts to a home game for them. Your fans travel extremely well, but how do you anticipate a Monday night game affecting travel? Based on board chatter and what you know, are a lot of fans attending? Even though FSU has questions at QB, it likely won't be a cake walk.

Wofford is a win, but it's a very short week to prepare.

Then you have Alabama and UGA at home. Even if you manage to beat Alabama, it's going to be a tough, physical game. While I don't think UGA is going to contend for the east this year and I believe Ole Miss wins, it's another physically demanding game since they'll rely heavily on the ground attack.

I doubt y'all lose again to Memphis.

Worst case scenario at this point you're 2-3 going into your bye week. Best case you're probably 4-1. If you had last year's talent I'd say 5-0 is a possibility, but for sake of argument say you drop one.

The open date comes at a good time, but then you have games at Arkansas, at LSU and against AU. While you'll be favored in Arkansas, it will be another physical game for your D since we know Bert will pound the ball. Then a game in Death Valley. Even though you get AU at home, I've got to think Auburn has a better chance than people think mainly because of the toughness of the schedule up to this point. Do y'all have the depth this year in case of injury, etc.?

Worst case scenario is you're 1-2 with these three games. Could go 3-0.

Georgia Southern is a W.

The three remaining conference games are likely W's, even though Vandy's D is predicted to be really good.

Worst case realistic scenario could you see your team losing as many as 5 games? Does the way your schedule line up, even though you get Bama and UGA at home, worry you at all. Again, I don't think it's as much a talent issue as how you open the season and scheduling through October.
