^SEC Game
Kentucky is a month earlier! I foresee at least 8 wins. Biggest games: Florida, Georgia, Bama and LSU. Win 2 and it's still a decent season (10 wins). Take 3 and we're definitely in a major bowl! Would be nice to go into Bama undefeated (6-0)!
I don't want to be too hasty here, but is the first schedule I've seen in the Butch Jones Era where I haven't immediately thought "HOLY CRAP, THAT'S A BRUTAL SCHEDULE!" I'm assuming that Leonard Fournette declares for the draft, as well, so we might even get a bit of a break playing LSU in 2017.
The only bad part is that we play GA Tech on a Monday to start the season. And GA Tech will be a tough team to prepare for, but at least we have a few months to do it.
