First of all, thanks for not being a full-on rantard. I'm happy to see someone try to have a legitimate discussion.
While the opener amounts to a defacto road game, I don't think the crowd will play much of a factor one way or another in this one. I expect the Rebel faithful to travel well enough for that to be the case.
As far as our absolutely brutal September start, there really is no sugar coating. Any reasonable fan would be happy to walk away 2-2 and ecstatic for anything better. The only silver lining here is that we may very well see 3 freshman quarterbacks. One would think freshman quarterbacks in the 1st month of the season will still be very green. Ole Miss could be good enough defensively and smart enough offensively to take advantage of such young QBs. But again, 2-2 or 3-1 is nothing to be ashamed of.
After September, Arkansas and especially LSU are the only teams we face where I could see a loss being more likely than not.
Best case scenario = 1/2 losses (FSU/Bama/LSU)
Worst case = 4/5 losses (FSU/Bama/UGA/Arkansas/LSU)
