Any time you have a lot of roster turnover, I'd want a warm up.

If little turnover, I want a barn burner

IDGAF who we play. I just want the season to start and off-season threads to end

I like a team like Miss St first game. A team that can beat you about 6% of the time. Perfect mix that allows your team to get ready for the season

It depends on what you mean by legit. Somewhere in the middle is best. A p5 conference bottom half school would be the ideal week one game.



yep. a team like Texas Tech or California

I like what UT has this year and next year. A warmup week 1 and then a quality OOC opponent week 2, before beginning SEC play a week or two later.

A team like Vandy, Kentucky, or A&M. Not like the FCS thrashings but still conference rent a wins

Cupcakes are hard to get excited for. A week one toss-up leaves you feeling awesome if you win, but it can ruin your mood for the season if your team loses.

No reason UT should be playing vs. BG at a neutral site though...

When you are in the SEC, it really doesn't matter. Your testing will come soon enough. A team like Texas Tech or Syracuse is ideal though, give them some competition other than basically a scrimmage.

With as many young guys as we have, definitely a warm up.

I'm fine with Wisconsin, as far as difficulty goes. I'm glad to play a top 20 team, and it's a perfect match, since they will have a hard time attack our past weaknesses.

I though West Virginia was a perfect opponent. A solid team that was a respectable victory and very winnable. But 2016 & 2017 will be tough with us opening against USC and FSU.
