As we sit here today, I have little doubt that Gameday will visit Oxford on October 4th when OM hosts Alabama. Both will likely be Top 10 or close to it.

Just realized what a brutal stretch of games Ole Miss begins on that day.

Oct. 4 Bama
Oct. 11 @aTm
Oct. 18 UTenn
Oct. 25 @LSU
Nov. 1 Auburn

All without a bye week...that is pretty brutal right there.

I don't think it is unreasonable to think the Ole Miss, at best, only wins two of those 5 games, and honestly, could lose them all.

The SEC office screwed the Rebel Black Bears with that schedule.

I expect our team to be absolutely depleted by the time the LSU and Auburn games roll around, both physically and mentally.

What a ridiculous grind that is. We'll be lucky to get out of that one with fewer than 6 injuries.

Look folks we can over-analyze and obsess over this tough stretch before their game with us all we want.

They beat us handily in a game that was not close to the score with several starters out last year. They had a tough schedule prior to playing us and we were taken to the woodshed

Ole Miss MAY VERY WELL get out of this stretch at 3-2, with 2-3 being the very worst case scenario.

Let's not forget that LSU hasn't beaten OM by double-digits in Tiger Stadium since 1995, with many lousy Rebel teams taking several good LSU teams to the final seconds in games played since then.

If any Rebel team does show itself as being above average to good as this year's team apparently will be, LSU will have its hands full in TS. In fact, I think LSU loses handily in a TS played game next week.

Oct. 4 Bama - 70% chance of Bama win. Very rare for OM to show up in this game.
Oct. 11 @aTm - 50% chance of a win. Jury still out on this A&M team
Oct. 18 UTenn - improved UT team not enough to win in Vaught-Hemingway despite UT dominance in series. OM 65% chance of win
Oct. 25 @LSU - until LSU chalks up a few double digit wins over the Rebs at home, we all know how dangerous this game is. Better than average Rebel team = 55% chance of OM win. This team is probably better than the 2012 Rebel team that took LSU to the brink.
Nov. 1 Auburn - home-field advantage not enough to offset AU dominance in the series. 65% chance of AU win.

3-2 likely with slim chance of 2-3.
