Texas sucks
LSU looks mid

Looks like UGA might be the only significant threat to making the SEC Championship game on our schedule

Georgia
LSU
Oklahoma
Tenn
Ole Miss

All did pretty well..but it is week 1..who knows

But until we don't get beat down by Georgia..we can't be the drivers...hopefully this year! Love going to that game(love the before the game). Want the game itself to not be painful.

Solid win against a top ranked team on the road.

Maybe Clemson isn't top 10 (definitely not top 5) but are a legitimately tough opponent to open up against on the road.

LSU is beatable, but not mid.

Can you imagine having to play Georgia 3x in a single season?

LSU is good. Their defense surprised me that game.

I am a little more confident we can go 9-3 and get a playoff spot. The S FL, FSU, LSU and Miami wins will help that argument out at the end. As far as the SEC we really need to beat LSU or it will be tough to make the SECCG.

I’ve got news for you, and it pains me to say it, but, Miami looks like a National Championship team. Can we beat them? With the talent we have versus their roster of transfers, it’s a toss up. With our coach, I don’t give us a chance.

Turn in your Gator card….

They will be favored against UF. They are at home, and they have a slight edge on the LOS.

But Beck isn’t Cam Ward. Not close - both of his touchdowns arguably should’ve been picked off.

Florida has more than enough talent to win that game.

Don't underestimate the Gators.

I’ll underestimate them until they give me a reason not to.

SEC? Hell, I am hoping we can beat USF on Saturday.

I agree to an extent and I am usually the negative guy but I really think we may go 9-3 this season which is a likely playoff spot with our schedule. Don't be surprised if we go into the TN and FSU games where if we close it out we get a spot. I still say Napier needs to go if we go 7-5 though.

Think we will see a very hungry and focused team against USF.

Don't underestimate how bad Napier is though.

We don't have a single game left that is a gimme. Kentucky is on the road and sandwiched between Georgia and Ole Miss, State has a bye before they play us and we are coming off of a gauntlet of LSU, Miami, Texas and A&M.

If there was a roster that could handle it, this is it. This is what Napier has been building towards.

If we flop, then we probably know where we are at as a program with his future.

But 8-4/9-3 against that is NOT bad at all.

I’m sticking to 9-3.

We get to wreck the top 5 in rankings in weeks 3 and 4.

Win both of those and we’ll be ranked #2 hosting Texas.

Miami won't win a natty.....very sure. Just like Napier winning the SEC, never happening.Don't let Miami kick our arse again make you think they are near a natty..we just are terrible now. They killed us 41-17..that will not change much.

Turn in your Gator card then - Miami still may win. We're essentially playing at 2 top 5 teams back to back on the road.

But 41-17 isn't happening again.
