Looking at the Ole Miss Schedule

And until today, I didn't realize how tough it is.
Sept. 5 (Mon.) Florida State (Orlando)
Sept. 10 WOFFORD
Sept. 17 ALABAMA
Sept. 24 GEORGIA
Oct. 1 MEMPHIS
Oct. 8 Open date
Oct. 15 at Arkansas
Oct. 22 at LSU
Oct. 29 AUBURN
Nov. 5 GEORGIA SOUTHERN
Nov. 12 at Texas A&M
Nov. 19 at Vanderbilt
Nov. 26 MISSISSIPPI STATE
To start, you open with FSU in what amounts to a home game for them. Your fans travel extremely well, but how do you anticipate a Monday night game affecting travel? Based on board chatter and what you know, are a lot of fans attending? Even though FSU has questions at QB, it likely won't be a cake walk.
Wofford is a win, but it's a very short week to prepare.
Then you have Alabama and UGA at home. Even if you manage to beat Alabama, it's going to be a tough, physical game. While I don't think UGA is going to contend for the east this year and I believe Ole Miss wins, it's another physically demanding game since they'll rely heavily on the ground attack.
I doubt y'all lose again to Memphis.
Worst case scenario at this point you're 2-3 going into your bye week. Best case you're probably 4-1. If you had last year's talent I'd say 5-0 is a possibility, but for sake of argument say you drop one.
The open date comes at a good time, but then you have games at Arkansas, at LSU and against AU. While you'll be favored in Arkansas, it will be another physical game for your D since we know Bert will pound the ball. Then a game in Death Valley. Even though you get AU at home, I've got to think Auburn has a better chance than people think mainly because of the toughness of the schedule up to this point. Do y'all have the depth this year in case of injury, etc.?
Worst case scenario is you're 1-2 with these three games. Could go 3-0.
Georgia Southern is a W.
The three remaining conference games are likely W's, even though Vandy's D is predicted to be really good.
Worst case realistic scenario could you see your team losing as many as 5 games? Does the way your schedule line up, even though you get Bama and UGA at home, worry you at all. Again, I don't think it's as much a talent issue as how you open the season and scheduling through October.

I've got that Wofford game circled for Ole Miss..

FSU is going to blow the doors off of Ole Miss in week 1.
The problem with playing Wofford isn't that they won't win. Ole Miss will slaughter Wofford, the problem lies with Wofford running a full on option. Ole Miss (and everyone that plays the the Woffords and Citadels of the world) is bound to lose a few lineman.
Not ideal when you have Bama in a week.

If the rebels lose to the terriers I'll legally change my name to Robert Nkemdiche. Ain't happen'. However, playing a Monday night game away and having to turn around and play Saturday when you have Alabama the following weekend isn't close to ideal.

Whey they don't have a proven QB this year, they might win but I can't see a blow out.

So far, I've got Rebel Club passes for the Georgia and Auburn games.
I invited myself to the Bama game,

I think I agree. It will be a battle either way though.

Yep, it's tough. I think we do 8-4 and are still a very good team.

If you are Bama, do you want OM to lose to FSU or beat FSU?
(Hint: you're fricked either way)

What kind of crowd do you think Ole Miss will have in Orlando since it's a Monday night game?

I'm not a fan of either team but I will be pretty excited to see the week 3 game with Bama.

I think decent? I've talked to a good many people that are going. Obviously, they will have a lot more than us because of location, but ole miss fans can use the Disney thing as an excuse to go as well.

Very touch schedule. I do see them beating FSU. At least I hope they do.
Posted on 8/24/16 at 3:10 pm to hehatedrew
We were allotted 13k tickets and as of a few weeks ago had about 2000 left.

With the threat of coming NCAA sanctions, Ole Miss will do one of two things:
1. Circle the wagons and play their asses off, and win.
2. Worry about what is fixin' to happen to their future and play shitty.
I pick 2.

Surviving September will be the key for Ole Miss.
I think they go 3-1 losing to Alabama but beating FSU and UGA.
I just have a feeling the FSU qb situation is going to bite the Noles for game 1.
