I think the schedule really sets up favorable, though that BYU game so late in the season gives me some concern as well.
W(1-0) - SEMO - Should be a blow out. Good game to work in the WR's and develop chemistry and maybe get Printz some reps.
W(2-0) - @Arky State - See SEMO though maybe not as big of a blow out.
W(3-0) - UConn - Good 3 games to knock some rust off and build some chemistry and figure out what you have at some of the positions with question marks.
W(4-0) - @UK - Can't sleep on them, but lets us get settled into SEC mode. Roster and rotations should be settling down by this point.
W(5-0) - SC - Really don't know what to expect of SC this year, but they're breaking in a new QB and it's at home.
W(6-0) - UF - At home again and while UF is UF, I just don't see the new staff cleaning things up in year 1.
L(6-1) - @UGA - Would love to keep the pattern of each team winning on the other's field alive, but as I see it, this is probably the toughest game of the year. If MU can win this game, watch out.
W(7-1) - @Vandy - I just don't see the team letting Vandy beat them in Vandy's current state. Nice game to have following UGA as well.
BYE - GP says season are won or lost in November. His bye leading into November is about as well placed as can be to make that final push.
W(8-1) - MSU - Yes, Dak. But MSU lost a ton. Probably as much or more than any other team we play. Plus it's at home coming off of a bye week.
W(9-1) - BYU - This is that damn trap game late in the season against a somewhat competitive team. This game scares me but on paper, Mizzou should win this game.
W(10-1) - UT - Biggest key...at home. I think UT is heading in the right direction and in fact, I think this game could go a long way to determining who wins the east. Having said that, I just don't know if UT is quite there yet. They're DLine is stout but our OLine this year should match up well with that.
W(11-1) - @Arky - I just don't see this team losing to Arky this year with something on the line. Yes, Arky is improving and will be good, I'm just not sold on exactly how good quite yet.
So I really doubt we go 11-1 so where are the likely losses?

Georgia*** - 10-2, (6-2) losses to AU, Bama.
Missouri - 10-2, (6-2) losses to UGA, Arky.
Tennessee - 7-5, (4-4) losses to OU, UF, Bama, Mizzou, UGA.
Florida - 7-5, (4-4) losses to OM, Mizz, LSU, UGA.
USCe - 7-5, (3-5) losses to UGA, Mizzou, LSU, UT, UF.
Kentucky - 6-6, (2-6) losses to everyone except Vandy & MSU. Bowl game finally.
Vandy - 3-9, (0-8) lose to everyone.
***UGA wins East via the tie-breaker. (Hope I'm wrong.)
IF Mizzou takes care of biz on-the-road in Fayetteville or shall I even say Athens, then UGA is fricked again. Mizzou is a ROAD WARRIOR.
Another big IF...our passing game. IF the passing game "takes off" (matures), we'll win the East and maybe more??? The passing game will be the difference between a good season (7 or 8) or a great season (10+).
Remember, hold serve against the tenny, wait for UGA to burst into flames...and viola...East champs for a third year in-a-row.
Mizzou's 2015 TRAP game...at Kentucky. Indy was the 4th game last year. Any conference road game can be tough. KY will be improved. Tigers better be ready and not looking ahead to USCe.

I love the thought of 11-1, but I don't have your optimism. I have 9-3. I see us losing to Georgia, Arkansas and probably split between Tenn/SC.
Everyone should take a moment to truly appreciate our 8-0 record on true road games the past two years. That is rarefied air right there.
Honestly, I'm ecstatic that we are just competitive and other teams are worried about us. (except for @ Georgia, which could easily be a 14-17 point spread come game day) A 9-3 pre-season forecast be me is unprecedented...I'm practically oozing with anticipation.
