Here's mine:

1. South Carolina (Spurrier has had Fulmer number)
2. Kentucky (Second longest winning streak in the country, longest is Notre Dame/Navy)
3. Alabama (Saban wants to prove himself)
4. Arkansas (Running game)
5. Miss St
6. Vandy

Bama-hostile road game.
Ark- awesome running and return game.
UK- high scoring shootout.
USC- overrated, qb is not good at all.
MSU- tough running game, but we have too much talent.
Vandy- Vandy, enough said.

USC - Spurrier owns Fulmer
ARK - Defense has to play like we did against UGA to stop the run
UK - Can score a lot of points and if they play solid defense, could be tough
Bama - Bama has to score at least 40 points to win. They can't even hold a 20+ point lead
MState - Because Croom is the coach. Shouldn't be too hard to outsmart
Vandy - Because they are Vandy

Toughest game is the next game we play, each week.

In all seriousness I say
Alabama
USCe
Arkansas
MSU
Kentucky
Vandy

Aside from the first two I think the last are tough to call, depends on which UT team shows up and which opponent shows up.

Spurrier is actually 3-3 versus Fulmer in their last 6 meetings.

As the Arky season goes down hill, I wonder what incentive McFadden has to pound the rock. Let's see, carry the ball 30 times a game for a sinking ship and endanger my draft status...

:question:

I think it still depends on how we play and if the defense can carry over the momentum. Although I don't think they'll play that great the rest of the way, I expect them to play much better than they did through the first 4 games.

South Carolina
Arkansas
Kentucky
Alabama
Vanderbilt
Mississippi St
La Lafayette(you guys forget about the mighty Ragin' Cajuns?) haha

Truth.

Houston Nutt is gone after this year. There could be lots of openings in the SEC after this year....

if:

Les Miles leaves for Michigan
Phil Fulmer gracefully retires (I hope that's how it plays out)
Houston Nutt gets axed
Sylvester Croom gets axed

so are we just skipping the Louisiana Lafayette game?

I'd keep the status quo with a special addition at the top.

SECCG
Bama
USCe
UK
Ark
MSU
Vandy
LLF

I think the difficulty is in the order already scheduled, minus LLF, who is last. I think this also because the more wins we put together and the more confidence we get will make the games less difficult

Miss State - because we are under 48 hours going to Starkville KICK-OFF, and they beat AU.
Alabama - because of the storied tradition between the two schools
USCe - because they could be in 1st place and SSpurrier and their defense
ARK - because #5
KY - Because the Randy Sanders, being away, and KY's O
Vandy - because they will be easiest win on the remaining schedule besides LLF
LLF - because this game will not only be the less difficult, it will not be difficult at all.

While playing ARK at home, if we have rattled off wins against Miss State, ALA, and USCe, then we will win the game, more so for KY, and even more so for Vandy.

Saturday's game is all that matters right now. This game is HUGE for our program.

I AM PUMPED - GO VOLS!!! BEAT MISS STATE!!!

Has everyone forgotten what Arkansas did to us last year? Why does that suddenly appear like an easy game? Because they lost to Alabama, who up until last Saturday was a guaranteed loss by most everyone on here, and Kentucky who is obviously a good football team and nothing to be ashamed by?

I think some are overlooking them as if they aren't going to run all over us again. Much like the Vols, the jury is still out on Arkansas despite the seemingly similar chaos surrounding the coaching staff. They've got Auburn and South Carolina before they play us and we have Alabama and South Carolina before the play them.

I see it being as tough as any other game because they'll run it at will. I don't think we'll have a problem outscoring them, but they won't have any problems running the ball.

Against Arky, you don't stop the run, you only hope to slow it down.

Even in their losses, Mcfadden has still been ripping defenses for 150+

Arky is the team that scares me the most out of all we have left. The hogs have always been a thorn in our side and they will have alot to prove on Nov 10th, Nutt is coaching for his job and win in Knoxville wouldnt hurt...
