This time with tie-breakers based on head-to-head predictions.
1. Alabama (8-0, 12-0)
1. Texas (8-0, 12-0)
3. LSU (11-1, 7-1)
4. Georgia (6-2, 10-2)
5. Auburn (6-2, 10-2)
6. Ole Miss (6-2, 10-2)
7. Texas A&M (5-3, 8-4)
8. Tennessee (5-3, 9-3)
9. Missouri (4-4, 8-4)
10. Oklahoma (3-5, 7-5)
11. Florida (2-6, 4-8)
12. Kentucky (2-6, 6-6)
13. Arkansas (1-7, 4-8)
14. S Carolina (1-7, 4-8)
15. Mississippi St (0-8, 3-9)
16. Vanderbilt (0-8, 3-9)
A few notes:
Alabama’s schedule is setting up nicely for them to have 3 monster clashes of un-beatens:
Week 4: Georgia (3-0) at Alabama (3-0)
Week 11: Alabama (8-0) at LSU (8-0)
SEC CG: Alabama (12-0) vs Texas (12-0)
I think there are a few teams who won’t be nearly as bad as their record indicates, but they simply play brutal schedules. I have Oklahoma beating South Carolina, Missouri, and Tennessee. But I still have them losing 5 SEC games (@ Auburn, Texas, @Ole Miss, Alabama, @LSU). That’s just an insanely brutal schedule.
South Carolina also faces a gauntlet. I have them only beating Vandy in SEC play though I think they’ll be a decent team. Playing @ Kentucky, LSU, Ole Miss, @ Alabama, @ Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Missouri).
Meanwhile I think LSU, Auburn, and Ole Miss play relatively easy schedules compared to their norm.
Georgia got the unfortunate draw of playing both Bama and Texas in the road.
1. Alabama (8-0, 12-0)
1. Texas (8-0, 12-0)
3. LSU (11-1, 7-1)
4. Georgia (6-2, 10-2)
5. Auburn (6-2, 10-2)
6. Ole Miss (6-2, 10-2)
7. Texas A&M (5-3, 8-4)
8. Tennessee (5-3, 9-3)
9. Missouri (4-4, 8-4)
10. Oklahoma (3-5, 7-5)
11. Florida (2-6, 4-8)
12. Kentucky (2-6, 6-6)
13. Arkansas (1-7, 4-8)
14. S Carolina (1-7, 4-8)
15. Mississippi St (0-8, 3-9)
16. Vanderbilt (0-8, 3-9)

New OC and maybe new DC. New QB and receivers. LSU will be rebranded when it goes to Vegas to play USC

USC had been a disaster under Riley, and LSU has the easiest schedule in its first 8 games out of all SEC teams.

LSU, Auburn, A&M, and Florida too high. Georgia a win too low. Mizzou should be higher, and I think one of those teams in the 13-15 range ends up toward the middle.

LSU going 11-1 is laughable. They’ll be lucky to win 9 games next season

I think you’re short changing Missouri’s potential record. Easily 6-2 or 7-1.
Also, Missouri could be unbeaten going into Week 9 vs unbeaten Alabama.

5. Auburn (6-2, 10-2)
Road games at Missouri, Alabama, and Georgia, plus home games against Oklahoma and A&M. Will be tough to get to 10-2, especially if Walker White doesn't turn out to be a day-one starter

We play USC, UCLA, Ole Miss and A&M in that stretch
Y’all play Cal, Oklahoma, Georgia and Missouri
It’s a push

So who do they lose to?
Road games @ S. Carolina, @ Arkansas, @ Texas A&M, @ Florida
Home games against Vandy, Ole Miss, Alabama, and Oklahoma
All of their toughest games are in Tiger Stadium.

I'd wager a significant amount of money that we don't go undefeated.

One win is a real possibility for Florida next year

I don’t see us being that bad
Posted on 12/22/23 at 1:25 pm to AUTiger789
I personally do not see Auburn going the stretch of OU, @Georgia, @Mizzou, @Kentucky better than 2-2, and then having to play @Bama.
I do think Auburn is going to be way improved from last year. That game in Columbia should be a good one.
8-4, 4-4 should be the floor of Mizzou's season next year.

Alabama, and one of Ole Miss and Oklahoma if not both. And then maybe one of those road games. They could lose to USC as well.
I could see 10-2, I could see an uncharacteristically awful season. I think 11-1 is a little rich because of the losses, and they still lost 3 games even with those guys.

I think people are short changing the fact Mizzou had one Top 25 win this season and that’s only because Tennessee is ranked when they don’t deserve to be.
I have Missouri beating Arkansas, Miss St, S Carolina, and Vandy. But I have them losing to Oklahoma, Alabama, Auburn, and Texas A&M.

The dumbass off-season threads already popping up. If you’re bored in Auburn, go walk around Walmart or something….

Bama and Georgia on the road are basically automatic losses based on recent history.
Oklahoma and Texas A&M are both huge games but both at home. I know dozens of people already committed to flying in for the OU game. Jordan-Hare will be insane. I don’t see us losing those at home.
I think at Mizzou is a coin flip. It’s the difference between 9-2 and 10-3. Could go either way but I like our chances.

Still Bama until Napoleon calls it quits.

Do they celebrate Christmas on the reservation? If so, log off and have a pow wow for a bit.
