Some teams (esp Au) will be better this year but their record will not really reflect. Au has one of the hardest stretches in CFB this year

@L6u, @ Ark, @TAMU, then UGA and Bama with a creampuff in between. They need to get to the L6u game with at most 1 loss, win that game and they're sky high with confidence but 3 sec road games in a row is just brutal.

MSST will be better but ,

L6u, @UGA,@Au (1-2) end with @TAMU,ooc, Bama, @Ark and egg bowl. They need to hold serve at home,minus Bama and steal one or two of @Ark,@ tamu. 8-4?

L6u damn, Oeauxno may not last more than a year:

@MSST will be a huge game for their season. Lose it an a 5 loss year is staring Captain Caveman in the face.

All in a row with a bye before Bama:
@UF, Au, @Ole Miss, @Bama, Ark, @UT and Tamu to close it out.

Could easily have 4 losses in that stretch easily.

ARK has the nicely laid out schedule except their bye is after week 2, 10 games in a row is tough. Their hardest stretch is @USCe, @Bama, Au, @Ole Miss. They better win at USC and Ole Miss if they want to have a decent season.

Bama has a pretty good schedule as well no brutal stretches. @Msst has trap game written all over it but we say that every year, if Au live up then the iron bowl could be epic.

TAMU schedule looks decent with the meat of the schedule at home, Ark, USC, Bama, @UF, MSST, Au. Then close out @Ole Miss and @L6u.

Who do y'all think has the harest schedule of the west?

SECE fans can one of you do the same for your division.

If we have a decent Oline I can see us winning 8 games. I think we have a really good shot against Georgia.

You have a game vs. Mercer.


MERCER.



That is simply pathetic. You should feel shame.

Could this be the year of a two loss SEC champion missing the playoff?

Tennessee plays our two biggest rivals away from home -- @UF and @BAMA. We also play LSU in KnoxVegas. Rough draw for us to get stuck playing both BAMA and LSU in the same season. I think we have the roughest SEC schedule in the East which sucks since West losses count the same as East losses when it comes to determining a Div Winner.


That said, unlike last season we don't have an insanely brutal stretch. I think that will help a lot and despite having yet another crappy draw (and I mean that in terms of toughness while others in the East always seem to get a better draw) I think the schedule is better because it's broken up more.

Really depends on who the team is and how other conference champs end up.

The eye test appears to matter a great deal with the committee. If at least one of those losses were to a good or great team and the team in question also passes the eye test I could see a two loss champ getting in.

No doubt but they'd shut up as soon as the champ demolished the first playoff team they faced. Also, after putting OSU in the committee has shown they're not averse to stirring up a little controversy.

You realize Auburn has an off week between the Arkansas game and A&M game? I would be more concerned if they played those games 3 weeks in a row
