If the VA . Tech game was the opener I would say they have a legit shot at 7-0,6-1.Appy St Ohio back to back would be much better before the 4 game nightmare. I'll say 5-2.

wow what city was that schedule made in?
The same city that Roy Kramer put his good ole boyz from Tennessee in the scheduling department that had NEVER scheduled ut to four consecutive conference games in four consecutive weeks outside of November. Which is when they played VU and UK and it didn't matter. Perhaps the good ole boyz are finally gone.
In fact the last time ut played four SEC teams in four consecutive weeks outside of November they scheduled it themselves. Big mistake! In 1962 and 1963 (GT's last year in the SEC), ut played Auburn, Mississippi State, GT, and Bama, in that order, both years. Lost ALL FOUR games BOTH years! ZERO and EIGHT!

Uh....No. But thanks for noticing the SEC had given them that week off FOREVER. All of you people who have been looking for favoritism shown in the Bama schedules have been looking at the wrong team's schedules. One would think the SIX byes in 2010 would have given you a clue that it sure as hell wasn't Bama's.
The most favorable schedules every year have been ut's. Just last year, for example, SEVEN of ut's conference opponents were required to play another SEC opponent in the week prior to playing ut. Only MO had that week open and since it was too late in the season to take a bye, MO scheduled BYU. No byes in front of ut! Nothing new. Typical since the SEC took over the scheduling in 1992.
Bama, OTOH, had but two of those. Arkansas was required to play ut and MSU played MO. SIX of Bama's eight SEC opponents were given an open date prior to their game with Bama. Ole Miss played Fresno State. UGA played Southern. aTm was off. ut was off, of course. LSU was off. Auburn played Idaho. THREE consecutive byes in front of Bama! Nothing new. Typical since the SEC took over the scheduling. Thus the SIX byes in 2010 when ALL six of them took the week off.

That quote after the Florida game was probably the dumbest thing I've ever heard. He single handedly cost us that game and if he doesn't get his shite together it will be 12 in a row.

f Tennessee finishes that stretch at 6-1 they are going to be in Atlanta playing for a spot in the playoff.
@ South Carolina

vs Kentucky

@ Vanderbilt
Watch out for that Carolina game the week after Alabama. Prime spot for an upset.

At least 2 losses. Maybe 3 since we get you at home. No way you come out of that stretch at 6-1, sorry.

He was playing for #4 OU at the time, not shitty A&M. Against a much worse UT than we will have this year.

Nice try
#17 Ole Miss - - 10-3 #10
@ #9 Georgia - - 10-3 unranked
#18 Arkansas - - 8-5 unranked
@ #27 Texas A&M - - 8-5 unranked
#25 Tennessee - - 9-4 #22
#14 LSU - - 9-3 #16
@ #26 Mississippi St - - 9-4 unranked
@ #6 Auburn - - 7-6 unranked
So basically 3 ranked teams?

"#4 at the time" just shows me how dumb you are. Who cares what someone was ranked at the time? That Oklahoma team sucked, and they didn't have Chavis(best defensive coordinator in the country), Jim Turner(best offensive line coach in the country), Myles Garrett(best defensive player in the country), or Christian Kirk(best WR in the country).

You can think im dumb, I don't care. You don't know me and I don't give a shite about your opinion.
Generally I would agree with you. I always use end -of-year rankings to compare teams. Thats why I said "at the time." But in this case I think it does make a difference what OU was ranked at the time of the game. We had a young team, in a huge road game against the then #4 team in the country early in the season. Regardless of how they ended up, that day they were firing under all cylinders and looked like the #4 team in the country. Also noteworthy is they had 6 players from that team drafted.
