I am curious to hear which games the ASB considers as most likely/least likely to lose.

From least likely to most likely to lose IMO:

1-3 MTSU, CSU, ULM (interchangeable IMO. We're not losing to those three teams)
4. Tennessee
5. Ole Miss
6. Wisconsin
7. Arkansas
8. TAMU
9. LSU
10. Miss St.
11. Auburn
12. Georgia

1-3 MTSU, CSU, ULM
4. MSU (they lost more personnel than any other team int he sec, pretty much whole team gone except dak)
5. Wisconsin
6. tennessee
7. Ole Miss
8. TAMU
9. Auburn (i have no faith that muschamp is going to make much difference to their defense. its the offensive scheme that makes them suck on d. ellis johnson is not substantially worse than muschamp, and they have zero depth on D)
10. Arkansas
11. LSU
12. Georgia

We always play like crap at Starkville, which is why I had them higher.

Although I could definitely see the case for making them lower. It all depends on what kind of momentum they bring into the game. Young teams are built on momentum. If you lose enough from the get-go, you might lose the whole team. Where if they are only coming off one or two losses I could see that game as being really tough.

I'm somewhat surprised so many people are putting UGA as the hardest game.

Don't get me wrong, Chubb is a manchild, and their Oline should be good, but their QB is a huge question mark. He could be awful for all we know. And I know that its an away game, but Samford Stadium isn't all that intimidating IMO. They have a talented defense, but that defense got straight up gashed at times last year.

I know that our QB is a question mark, but as far as toughest game-i just don't see it.

Exactly. If Florida's offense could do it, we have no excuse to lose that one.

I think it's the fact that it's our QB's first true road test this year (I expect Dallas to be 80-95% Bama) so who knows how they'll handle the pressure.

How do y'all think we'll do against their run game? If we can stop the run, I think we win.

Until LSU stops giving us the toughest game every year, they deserve that spot.

Must not be, since that's not even its name

Seriously though, I agree with patton. LSU, regardless of how good or bad they are, always seem to play yall tight as of late.

As for us...I'm worried sick about QB. If aaron murray was our QB I would say we're a definite top 5 team and the league favorite for SEC champs. Pruitt has our defense as high a level it's been in years, RB is stacked, OL is solid, and WRs shoudl be above average. But holy hell we have no QB. He could be pretty good and get us to 11 wins or he could be below average and get us 8 wins. It is truly a question mark.

With Hutson Mason in 14, he was a 5th year senior who had started 2.5 games entering the season. We had an idea. With Joe Cox in 09, he was a senior who had started before (and actually singlehandedly won a game for us as a freshman) so we had somewhat of an idea. With JT3 in 06, he was a senior who had started 2 or 3 games the year before so we had somewhat of an idea. We have absolutely NO idea what to expect from QB this year. It's very troubling. You obviously expect a bit of improvement year to year, but all we've seen of Ramsey so far is a good arm with bad throws and poor decisions. I would feel 50 times better about this game if it were last year.

I doubt Saban cares, probably was a great teaching moment for the spoiled tender 2007 team.

Valid point, but those two were anomalies. We were coming off 10 straight against The Rebs and 7 straight and 102-0 against the Hogs.

Nah, when we hang 50 on ULM he'll look out and think.... "we've finally done it, look how far we've come." Sure winning multiple SEC and BCS titles was good but we weren't really there till we finally beat our old foe, ULM. Might as well retire now.
