I'll give my top 3 and brief reasoning why.
1. Ole Miss - They have a cupcake schedule and an off week before facing Alabama. Essentially, Kiffin has a month to prepare. I don't expect the same high score as last year but if our young offense sputters in this game, Ole Miss will take advantage.
2. Texas A&M - Depending on their QB play, I would argue this is the most balanced team we'll play this year and it's on the road. We'll be a month into the season, so hopefully, the growing pains will be gone, but you never know what could happen in College Station.
3. Florida - I can't really see Emory Jones beating us but I think they're a bit more dangerous than Miami. It's on the road. This would have to go down as one of those fluke games where the ball doesn't quite bounce our way.
Basically, it comes down to the first handful of games this season. When the offense clicks, I don't see anyone that can beat us on the schedule. The defense will be elite once again and even if we're not firing on all cylinders, we can lean heavily on that talented OL and strong running game.

I agree and one of the things that concerns me the most is A&M’s running game. The defense gave up more rushing yards per carry than we’ve been used to the last couple of years and if we haven’t fixed that, the Aggies could make things tough

Sat, Oct 2 vs Ole Miss
Sat, Oct 9 @ Texas A&M
This is my biggest concerns.. THree games in a row. Florida, Ole Miss and then Texas AM.
Not an ideal schedule for Bryce and the receivers.

This is what happened in 2014. It scares me; however... they aren't in Oxford this time around.
