just got the schedule, some interesting things out there, and seeing as how it's march, why not break it all down now and save time come fall.....
games of note:
Bama/VT in Atlanta i believe....should be a good game, i dont' think i'll expect a similar outcome (at least in margin) as last year's game with an ACC foe.
also interesting for Bama's schedule, they play 8 games straight before an open date.....and we are the 8th game.....4 consecutive conf. games including two road games in that stretch.
Arkansas renews an old SWC rivalry with T a&m, and they play 11 straight after a week 2 bye. ouch.
Auburn getst WVU at home and plays 11 straight with a bye the week before the Bama game....oof. We're #5 in that rotation....
LSU starts off @ Washington, who should be abysmal again, but that's a tough place to play and LSU is breaking in some new offensive players. other than that, they have three big away games @GA, @ ole miss and @ bama...
Ole Miss has a terrible OOC schedule....no one of note, and they get us at home the week before LSU comes calling.
MSU...eh. they got GA Tech OOC, and the rest....blah, blah, blah.
FL has loaded up with it's usual tough OOC schedule with the likes of powerhoses such as Charleston Southern, Troy, and FIU. Biggst road game is @ LSU. their schedule is definitely doable for going undefeated, but the BCS won't like the OOC.
GA gets OkSU at home and AZ state...don't know how good either of those teams are but kudos to them for getting two BCS conf. teams on the schedule. @ TN and @FL plus LSU is still on the schuedul and Auburn....pretty daunting schedule for the dawgs.
KY has yet to apparently fill it's 1st two slots, one will be a bye in week 1 or 2...then it's 11 or 12 straight games with nothing really to speak of OOC wise except the game with L'ville.
USC travels to Raleigh, and FIU makes it's 3rd appearance on an SEC schedule...poor guys. @ga, @bama and @TN and cose out with FL and Clemson.
We know our schedule....UCLA is notable obviously to see if we can exact some revenge for last year, then the biggie @FL and @ bama....home against GA and Auburn and SC. 8-4 is not unrealistic.
Vandy plays 12 straight games and gets a week off before the SEC title game. whoopie.
I guess i'd have to say GA once again has the toughest schedule. 1a has to be Auburn.
Ole Miss has a legit shot at winning the west if they can beat Bama or LSU. and they get them both at home.
FL has to be the odds on favorite to win the East. @ LSU is the toughest game, and they wont' be as good as they have been recently.
I'll go conservative and say it's FL and Bama again. i think Bama still has enough up front, great WR in #8 and they proved last year they don't have to have a great qb to get it done. FL might lose one game.
FL wins the SEC again and finds itself in a BCS bowl once again....if udefeated likley playing for a national title again.
GA and TN finish tied for 2nd in the East wth 8-4 records, SC 3rd and KY and Vandy battle it out for last place.
Ole Miss finishes tied for 2nd with LSU, Arkansas finishes 3rd, MSU 4th and Auburn just has too brutal a road schedule for it to come unscathed... @ TN, @ ark, @LSU, @ GA and @ bama. Man if i were an Auburn season ticket holder, i'd be pissed. Ole Miss and WVU are the two biggest games on the plains this year....
