3 of our toughest matchups beginning with LSU. Prior to that we play UT. UT wont be down much longer. This would put 4 top opponents out of 5 games. I would not mind seeing MSU or LSU moved up to earlier in the schedule.

Thoughts? Of course this all might be moot should we go to a 9 game SEC format and then a lot would probably change.

I don't think MSU is ever really that good, so I have no problem playing them when we do.

Mississippi State being a top 25 team is not the norm and won’t be the case most years going forward.

That seems true. We play teams with good defenses to close the season, but their offenses are all as bad LSU’s.

They have moved Arkansas to later in the year for next year at least.

It's Texas A&M, UT, Arkansas, BYE, LSU, Miss State, Cupcake, Auburn.

I honestly think Tennessee is like Nebraska, they're never coming "back."

Then again, it may be beneficial to have the first two thirds of the season to improve and get ready for that last third.

Both of our final SEC teams play us tough on their field.

I like it, i'd prefer a more difficult opponent earlier in the season, but don't think we need to be switching things or anything.

Team can get pumped up for the big games (LSU and Auburn) and hopefully be hitting their stride / peak performance at the right time of the season. Defense is coming along great, Wilson and Moses seem to have improved their play, Oline is starting to look like the oline we were hoping for in the offseason...
