No 8 won't be an upset. We have literally never beat Will Muschamp

Man, no love for OM - at that rate I don't think they'd win 2 games next year.

Losing to Vandy and Georgia Southern in one year? I'm not sure the Oxford Suicide Watch Lines can handle that call volume.

So UT loses to A&M and VT then beats Bama. Seems likely

I do think UGA will be better than Florida this year but I still wouldn't call it an upset.

Would Arkansas over LSU really be considered an upset at this point?

There's two teams Bert owns - LSU and OM. Him beating either is not an upset at this point.

So Ole Miss is going to be a dumpster fire this year?

I'm thinking that could go the other way. Long, weird midseason road trip that MSU probably won't be fully focused for against a solid team playing at home in a game they'll need to win to have a chance at bowl eligibility.

BYU may have one of the 5 toughest schedules in the country this year.

The La. Tech game doesn't scare me that much with all the lost starters they have. The La. Tech from last year the first week of the season would be terrifying.

The Arkansas over LSU pick isn't that big of an upset. Yes, this LSU team has the potential for a great season and even a national title run if things work out for them, but Bert builds the Hogs specifically to beat Midwest style power running teams and that pretty well describes LSU (albeit with more speed then your typical power run club).

I don't think MSU is great by any means but they are pretty good defensively. Byu is very average.

Is this an upset? I mean, they've kicked our arse by 17 points the last two seasons.

If Arkansas beats LSU and LSU doesn't make the SEC championship, tell Les goodbye.

Also, I certainly wouldn't call that an upset. In fact, I think BYU will be favored and will win.

UMass over Mississippi State would be an upset.
