4 compelling OOC games in week 1, who needs to win the most?

The UNC game for SC is absolutely a must win game.

So is Florida vs Miami.

So is Ole Miss vs Memphis State.

Auburn absolutely must beat Oregon .... ask Gus.

If UF can't beat Miami, it could be a long year.

South Cackalachy should handle the cheaters of Chapel Hill.

Memphis is an anomaly mid major that has built in advantages in recruiting being in Memphis, I think Memphis wins outright.

Oregon vs Auburn is a toss up with Christabol running things in Eugene.

The UNC game is the biggest.

A loss to Miami alone won't put a second year coach on the hotseat and the rest of the Florida schedule is manageable enough for a bowl game.

At this point most Ole Miss fans would be happy as long as Matt Luke doesn't expose himself on the sideline. A loss only increases the temperature on his seat a little bit because it can't get much hotter.

If Auburn loses to Oregon it will be another game that gives Auburn fans reason to hate Gus... but unless they tank the rest of the way the administration will grit their teeth and keep him employed thanks to that salary.

USC, on the other hand, is walking through hell covered in gasoline this year. An opening week loss to UNC with their schedule and they are pretty well screwed.

You guys have more than enough talent to make a bowl game but my god that schedule is brutal

I don’t think some of you appreciate what a loss to Memphis would do to Matt Luke’s chances of keeping his job. They hate losing to Memphis because of the proximity and because Memphis is a G5 school and a rival. If it were in embarrassing fashion, I’d put his chances of finishing the season at about the same as snow flurries in Vaught Hemingway for the opener.

It will be interesting to see if Diaz can coach as well as he runs his mouth. I’ll be pulling for Felipe NOT to Felipe in that one.

Boom better beat a hapless UNC team because there’s not many gimmes on the schedule and he needs all of them. Cocks should prevail.

Auburn vs Oregon is by far the easiest to me as I don’t see the Ducks being much of a factor in this game. They may keep it interesting with their QB advantage and if Gus goes full retard but Auburn’s advantage in the trenches on both sides of the ball should be overwhelming. Tigers should be easy money in this one.

Yeah, Gus is due for one of those 11 win out of nowhere seasons. I feel it coming.

Auburn vs Oregon

Florida - this looks like the kind of game Merlins would clown up in the past. UF really should win this game, but I don't put it past Dan to foul it up.

AU - there's a laundry list of folks waiting to fire Gus. If he loses this one, they may crank up the plane a little early.

USCar - If Brown walks back into UNC and beats USC, Muschamp's head may explode, or he may kill someone, or both.

OM - No one cares. Joke program with Hodor for a head coach.

If we're talking jobs, Mullen and Muschamp could afford the loss. South Carolina might as well put up an asterisk with a schedule like this.

Ole Miss loses and Matt Luke is gone. Probably gone regardless. Auburn loses and Gus has to pull off the miracle double over Alabama and Georgia.

It's not Auburn. Oregon is high ranked and wouldn't hurt Auburn much. If anything a win would up expectations and put more pressure on the rest of the season.
