So after 2-1 start I am going to say Carolina can make a bowl.
But not knowing the schedule that well, are these 4 games most think have to win for a bowl?
UK
UMass
MU
Western Carolina

Those are the 4 best chances to get to 6-6

Certainly those would be the top 4 opportunities. Only UK is on the road, but they are having such issues with their defense that IMO our chances are decent against them. Others that are in the interesting category will be UGA and Tennessee. Both are stumbling along this season, and both will be in W-B. I think the team should get up for both opponents.
Florida is also having issues offensively, but their defense is stout and it's in Gainesville, so that may be too much. All 3 of those SEC gms will be later in the season (UGA is closest at 3 gms away), so they have time to improve, but so will we....

If Tenn keeps getting hit by injuries-defense especially-it could make a difference when they come to W-B.

OP answered his question with the best combo. Will be at UK this weekend, should be a really competitive game.

Mizzou has really improved though offensively... turned into some sort of air raid team like they were under chase Daniel.

Well we know that no matter what, we will line up 12-15 yards off their receivers anyways.

I still say we go 7-5 during regular season play.
I think we pull one out of our asses against either TN or the taters. Hell, with the way GA has been playing, it's possible we could miraculously win that one. Holy hell the party we'd throw if we pulled off two of those and also won the ones listed in the OP to go 8-4...and win the bowl game to finish 9-4.
Wonder what excuses the Muschamp haters (especially FL and AU) would make to downplay that kind of turn-around?

I predicted 6-6 at the beginning of the year, but I now think that we will pull off an upset, too. The only thing about that is that we can't slip up this week or against any of those other three teams.
Most likely upsets, IMO:
25% UGA
10% UF/Clem/Tenn
5% ATM
I think that Texas A&M is playing the best of the bunch right now. Those numbers could obviously change, but that's just how I see it. If we were playing CLem at home, I would definitely increase that number.

I agree. The East, and to be honest the SEC as a whole, looks shaky at best. UTk has been eaten alive by injuries. UF has "the #1 Defense" in the land but lets be real, they've played 2 non power 5 schools and the worst team in the league. Also, until they play a decent defense I'm not convinced about their offense either. UGA could and should pull this thing out, but their Defense isn't as stout as I thought it would be. Eason is making some good plays but has also made his fair share of mistakes. Having the home field against 2 of the 3 gives me hope.

We really don't have a gimme on the schedule this year ... The Citadel taught us a lesson last year.
UMass
WCU
@Kentucky
Mizzou (they are a better football team than are we at the moment)
Tennessee (best chance for a major upset)
UGA (go figure with the Dawgs this season)
@Clemson (they are beatable if all the stars aligned - but it's not likely at their place this season)
A&M is gonna beat us like a drum.
@UF could get ugly too ... they're wanting retribution against Muschamp. Although the football gods may surprise us.

Mizzou's DL vs our OL is not shaping up to be a match up I want to watch. If it goes like I think it might, we will lose this one.
I think A&M and Clemson roll us.
We're gonna need an upset, one of UGA/UTk,UF. I could see it being UGA.

pretty solid on the 4 you listed. hopefully Carolina can get outta Lex with a win this weekend. don't care how, just get the win. we're gonna get another 'best effort' from a desperate home team like we did in Starkville.

We have a weird team this year, I could see us winning a bunch of the matchups, or losing a bunch of the matchups. This is going to be a team that searches for consistency.
