For me? Tuscaloosa doesn’t bother me. What’s keeping me up at night? Going to Williams-Brice late in the season.

UGA has shown they have issues with Bama. At Bamaville, they will probably be the underdog. The OU game could be tough, as well as the UF game. Not sure what to think about Auburn. Mizzou usually plays UGA pretty close. And, of course there's Brent Key and yech.

Dawgs have struggled in most of their SEC games the last 2 seasons. For that to change, they will need to have to play better in the first half of those games.

Oxford.

Carolina blows and bama has a bit of a hex on us still but OM has the best QB in America and probably a top 3 rb too. They beat us in our last game and they destroyed us our last trip there.

Note: I'm not "scared" of the environment bc it's pretty tame tbh and I'll be there in person as I have been every meeting post 2001. But that's the game we're most likely to lose this year and honestly I'll be a bit surprised if we win. I wouldn't be surprised to beat bama or Carolina.

As a parting thought I think Missouri is a sneaky tough game that we better be ready for or we could be in trouble.

He should be participating in NFL OTAs by this point, for the record, but I agree and OM in Oxford is concerning.

Lacy coming back is an underrated part of that team. That dude is a problem.

Ole miss definitely number one but I think Oklahoma will be tough too. It's at home at least but I could see venables giving Gunner a hard time with his aggressive style. Mateer being healthy worries me too.

Can't decide. I don't even think Bama will be all that good this year and hopefully all the demons are exorsised after the SECCG, but we still haven't beat Bama in the regular season in almost 20 years and maybe there's still some bad mojo.

South Carolina is concerning because Beamer can rally the team for the big games that their fanbase wants to win really bad, regardless of how shitty they are or what their record is. They also have Sellers and the top edge rusher in the next NFL draft.

Oklahoma's defense seems like the kind that could give Gunner problems, and they'll probably have a good plan. And maybe Mateer's hand really was bothering him later in the season and he doesn't actually suck. But we've only lost 1 game at home in the last 8 years. Teams who play Georgia close in Sanford Stadium inevitaby get suffocated in the 4th quarter.

Ole Miss has a new offensive coaching staff. The new OC came from East Carolina. And also it will be a revenge game for us. But maybe Chambliss really does have our number, and Kirby is 0-2 in Oxford and neither game was close, even though the first one was in Kirby's first season.

One way or the other this looks like the best schedule we've had in a while. Only have to leave the state of Georgia 3 times in the regular season. One of the quarterfinal games is the Peach Bowl. So in a perfect world we'd play 16 games this season and only have to leave the state of Georgia 5 times. That would be spectacular.
