Playing SMU that early and it's a potential play in for their conference championship game

I could see UK ruin those CFP dreams.

They also miss VTech.

Clem's son plays Miami and VT.

Both have a way easier slog than any SEC teams.

Nah their offense is suspect. They just looked going going up against a drunks defense

The acc and big 12 both really need to be limited to one playoff team each with the types of schedules they're playing. A 9-3 sec or big ten team is more deserving than a 11-1 or 10-2 acc team.

We did for Lamar Jackson and he was an absolute stud. We may not be great but at least one game a year we beat someone we shouldn’t.

Despite the entertaining game, I wasn't impressed with Louisville. Their offense looked ragged and Ole Miss should be concerned about giving up that many yards and points.

The only “comfort” (and I use that term loosely) i have is thinking most of their points came off busted coverages and miscommunications. Which is normal for week 1 games against solid opponents which should be easy to fix.

But there is just as much of a chance our players just suck so who knows

Leaves Louisville with absolutely no margin for error though. And they will 100% frick up and drop another game despite the marshmallow schedule.

It's game one so there's no point in over analyzing anything. When I say Ole Miss should be concerned I don't mean your defense will suck. It needs work. As for Louisville, it's early for them too but they may have some personnel issues on offense.

They're a well coached team. I expect them to be in the mix in November. Last year they were squarely on their way with a 7-1 start and a win over Miami and then they ran into a buzzsaw with injuries to several top players all happening simultaneously. Against SMU, they had to start QB2, RB3, WR2, multiple front 7 defenders out, etc. SMU rightly obliterated them.
