1. UGA (have wanted to check out Athens for a while now, super excited to make the trip)
2. LSU (Always a fun weekend, have a lot of friends from Louisiana coming to Tuscaloosa for it this year)
3. Auburn (duh)
4. Wisconsin (can't not be excited for the first game of the season)
5. Ole Miss (revenge game)
6. Tennessee (seem to be good enough to make things interesting)
Everything else after that is kind of a wash. Level of anticipation for UT and Ole Miss is probably about

Here is my list, and my reasoning for the ranking. If I'm not going to be present for the game, my anticipation is going to be lower. (With #1 & #3 being the exceptions to this rule.)
1. Arizona State @ Houston (First Game, Bigger OOC than we usually play)
2. Alabama (Will Attend, After 2012 & 2013, I was not expecting 2014...we must restore our honor)
3. Arkansas @ Dallas (Close game last year, excited to see if Arkansas will be for real or if their posters are just full of shite like always, either way I expect maximum trolling on tRant)
---
4.Auburn (Will Attend, Horsecollar-Gate 2013 still has me slightly rustled, but historically Auburn is A&M's bitch)
5. South Carolina (Will Attend, Expect them to want revenge for last years beat down, but CS is a long way from home for the Gamecocks.)
6. Mississippi State (Will Attend, They lost most of their team, Dak will get punched in the face again, metaphorically of course.)
---
7. Nevada (Will be Attending)
8. Western Carolina (Will be Attending)
9. Ball State (Will be Attending)
---
10. @LSU (Won't be there, I also don't find joy in beating up special needs people)
11. @Ole Miss (Won't be there, historically A&M has dominated Ole Miss, especially at their place.)
12. @Vanderbilt (Won't be there, self-explanatory)
1. Arizona State @ Houston (First Game, Bigger OOC than we usually play)

No particular order (cuz I explain my picks):
UGA/UF - tie (May seem odd but I really am, for once, looking forward to the UF game. UGA-UT, OTOH, is always a fantastic game. Even if I had no dog in the fight I'd watch the UT-UGA game. It's just fun).
Mizzou - Although I can't say I expect it to be exciting it will be an important game for the East and depending on how things shake out may decide things.
OU - It has the least bearing on the SEC. This game will tell us where we are as a team. At the same time it probably means less than less because it's so early. BUT it's our first home game and I expect Neyland to be live. It won't matter much if we lose but if we win it will be a real tone-setter.
TSIO - REALLY excited about this one. While I don't think we'll win it should resemble the games of old a whole lot more.
Arky - This one should be crazy depending on where the teams are at. I can't think of two styles of football that are more different.
UGA/UF - tie (May seem odd but I really am, for once, looking forward to the UF game. UGA-UT, OTOH, is always a fantastic game. Even if I had no dog in the fight I'd watch the UT-UGA game. It's just fun).

Hmmm. Let's think about this. We haven't beat Bama in a while, obviously they are priority number 1. You guys can't keep LSU out your mou that in every thread you post in. The obsession and want for a rivalry is almost unbearable. You get embarrassed 59-0 by bama, them first is understandable. However, your team can't match LSU, you've lose every time we've played as west opponents and you are our bitch. It's stupidity to have a team you can't beat at 8

I do like that we have so much more to gain than to lose from the OU game. A win helps us in a big way and gives us a lot of confidence headed into SEC play. A loss sucks but shouldn't actually be that damaging unless we're blown out.

1 - Bama - we never get to play them and I live in Bham
2 - Tenn - rumor has it that the Vols will be legit. I know it is true since I read it on tRant
3 - World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party - revenge game and always one of our best games
4 - GA Tech - revenge game in Atlanta, we must set the world right and show the Nerds their place
5 - Aubbie - time for CMR to assert himself as Gus' daddy
6 - SCe - always tough for us and an early test. Are the wheels falling of the Gamecock bus? They could beat the shite out of us and we STILL won't know...
7 - Kentucky - the Wildcats will be improved, I am predicting 9 wins for them
the rest - meh

Tennessee
1. Florida (looking forward to ending the streak)
2. Oklahoma (huge match-up early...rare big-12 opponent for us)
3. Georgia (Chubb & Company will be a good show)
4. Arkansas (battle of off-season champs)
5. South Carolina (3 in a row to drive Spurrier off into the sunset?)
6. Mizzou (another streak to break)
7. Alabama (only so low because of low probability to win)
8. Kentucky (tallest midget)
9. Vandy (shortest SEC midget)
10. Bowling Green (season opener)
11. Western Carolina (FCS...who cares)
12. North Texas (horrible team...worse than a bad FCS opponent...but, it's homecoming...so at least it has that going for it)

1. @UF (It's Time)
2. Oklahoma (HUGE OOC game to keep momentum high)
3. UGA (Could this decide the East?)
4. Arkansas (Going to be a battle and it is early in the season)
5. @Bama (Not a likely W this season but a chance at the shocker against our #1 rival is always great)
6. USC (Want to see Stevie cry after 3 in a row)
7. @Missouri (Ugh I don't like playing this BIG school)

1. @ UGA - This is the game that can make or break our season.
2. @ Arkansas - Friday after Thanksgiving and they'll be looking for revenge. Should add fuel to our "rival".
3. Tenn - I can't stand their fan base and want to go 4-0 against them.
4. SEMO - It's the 1st game of the season and who isn't excited about the 1st game?
5. BYU - Well, this game just got more interesting after Pinkle's comments today.
6. Miss St. - Thursday night game on ESPN. Curious on how good State will be this season.
7. USC - Have yet to beat the Ol' Ball Coach at home.
8. Florida - It'll be interesting to see how we fare against (what should be) an improved Gators team.
9. @ Kentucky - 1st in conference game. They should be a good gauge at how good Mizzou is this season.
10. @ Arky St. and UConn - These two will wrap up what I like to call Mizzou's "pre-season".
11. @ Vandy - Is any one looking forward to playing Vandy?
