Looking forward at our schedule. We will have 2 top ten teams remaining on our schedule. Possibly 3 (TAMU) due to other

1.) UGA in 2 weeks.
2.) LSU can win out until they play Bama.
3.) OM can win out until the last 2 weeks (LSU/MSU)
4.) Notre Dame has so many injuries can they sustain a top ten ranking? Doubtful.
5.) Ohio State/Michigan St. play each other and that's the only ranked team left on both schedules

1. Ohio State (42) 3-0
2. Michigan State (7) 3-0
3. TCU 3-0
3. Mississippi (11) 3-0
5. Baylor 2-0
6. Notre Dame 3-0
7. Georgia 3-0
8. LSU (1) 2-0
9. UCLA 3-0
10. Florida State 3-0
11. Clemson 3-0
12. Alabama 2-1
13. Oregon 2-1
14. Texas A&M 3-0

I think we probably lose at Georgia. We actually have a great shot at upsetting LSU because it's at home and we are stout against the run. TAMU worries me. I think three losses right now, but who would've predicted after the Ole Miss loss and the one point win over Arkansas that we would have turned it around last year? Main thing we need is at least a game manager quarterback.

I'll take our defense against UGA. They will rely on Chubbs more but I think that goes in our favor.

I think LSU is still one dimensional. However, I think their QB is better than the ones in the past excluding Mettenberger

I can't see Bama losing again. Ideally Ole Miss loses twice, but that doesn't seem likely. If we beat LSU and LSU beats Ole Miss we could have the upperhand in a 3 team time.

Our goals are still in our own hands. As long as we quit turning the ball over we can win every game..... 1 loss is no different than a win, unless someone actually thinks Ole Miss can win out.

It's nice to see a little sanity on this board still.

Not just for Tuskkman either. This thread, while small, proves that we have some fans that haven't lost their minds over a tough loss.

I know this sounds crazy but I actually feel better about this team than I did before last night. 5 turnovers in a single game will not happen again this year, and if it does then I'm wrong about this team.

I think they'll get hungry, clean up some small things, and focus on what they do well; which is run the ball off the tackle while getting the ball to playmakers in space on offense, and lock down the run while not giving up the big pass play on defense. The only two big pass plays last night were both flukes, so I'm not worried about that.

Doesn't look like there will be a deep threat in the passing game this year like last year but there doesn't necessarily have to be if they just do what they do. I don't remember G-Mac completing very many deep balls and we all know what happened there.

The team seamed to rally behind Coker after he came in, yeah he made a lot of mistakes, but so did Sims last year. Then we they were down 19 in the 4th, they could have quit. They didn't, which tells me this team has a lot of fight in it.
Keep the turnovers down and there isn't a team in the country that I'm worried about playing.
