The Anti-SEC talk will be full scale for opening weekend. If we lose most of these games, we will never hear the end of it. All of them are potential losses IMO. So, who wins these and why?

Shannon Dawson gave Barker and Co. a bunch of locker room ammo talking shite about the QBs while he was at UK last season and throwing some shade. Should be interesting to see how that plays out.

West Virginia - WV defense is a mess, but not as big a mess as Mizzou offense.

LSU - wins a close game.

A&M - pass defense able to contain Rosen.

Arkansas

North Carolina - Georgia with some new coach pains.

Southern Miss

Bama - Because bama

Clemson - Too good for auburn

Florida State

I just don't see how Auburn can pull it off. We can all wish though.

Arkansas over La Tech based on most of their team from last year being gone. One of two must win games for Bert.

Mizzou over WVU. Mizzou slows down the WVU offense enough for the Tigers to squeak out a close win.

LSU over Wisconsin. LSU wears the Badgers down and pulls away in the 4th.

Aggies over UCLA. Early in the season so a mostly sober Sumlin will have A&M ready to go.

Georgia over UNC. UNC has been a bit of a paper tiger outside of the ACC.

Kentucky over USM. Southern Miss isn't quite back to the level where they can knock off SEC teams.

Bama over USC. Saban lives for these early season OOC games.

Clemson over Auburn. Not sure the Auburn offense has been fixed.

FSU over Ole Miss. Big time match up with FSU having the edge since it will be in their backyard.

The UGA-UNC will be a good one. If UGA can pound the ball with Chubb and co., keeping UNC's offense off the field, then UGA wins. UNC's run D will most likely be improved this year, but not enough. I'm thinking UGA has 250-350 rushing yards that game.

West Virginia - close score due to noon kick
LSU - Miles/Cameron/Aranda are more 'big ten' than whoever coaches Wisconsin these days.
Texas AM - see Arizona St game 2015, same thing all over again because Pac12.
Arkansas - Skip < Bert
Georgia - goats front 7 can't do shite to stop the run
Kentucky - scoring may look alot the Eastern game last year but Cats get the W.
Alabama - "Tide don't lose in Texas"
Auburn - f ck Pickens Tech
Florida St - Orlando/Disney has way more make believe bullshite than even Hugh Freeze can conjure up.

Missouri - D line fidden to eat
LSU - Barely
UCLA - That UCLA QB doe. + don't think A&M defense is gonna improve
Arkansas - Pound the ball. Boring game
North Carolina - Freshman QB cost UGA the game
Kentucky - Defense handles it for UK
Alabama - Will be a close low scoring game
Auburn - Lawson makes a world of difference on defense (see 1st half of UL game last year) + the linebackers will be a huge upgrade this year. We win by a field goal
Ole Miss - IDK much about FSU this year, so I'm going SEC
