I think you're underestimating how bad UAB is. I was impressed with Arkansas against Oklahoma State, but they gave a lot of that good will back last week.
NEW STORY TEN THOUGHTS FOR MONDAY MORNING PRESENTED BY WILL GARRETT
- Thread starter GabeD
- Start date
I would be mildly surprised if that QB survives to play against Mizzou as well. He’s going to get killed in the SEC schedule.
Well hog fans are now saying the backup Is better….but most fans do think that so no surprise. But I agree with you on him staying healthy. The oline is still not great which is probably why he is starting. He is better at scrambling and keeping plays alive but not very good in the pocket.
Mizzou is halfway to bowl eligibility. That's my annual quest.
I'm thinking the same thing about Pavia. He's a contact enthusiast and that's one thing in the CUSA, but another in the SEC.
The loser of the SEC Championship game is not getting left out of the playoffs. We would probably be the 5 seed in the playoffs.
Yeah this. I watched the hogs game. I didn’t see anything that showed they could be higher than the bottom 3-maybe 4 teams in the league
Agreed. if the conference title game costs somebody a spot in the playoff, the SEC will either abandon the conference title game or change the playoff rules the next morning
Do we wear nametags at the tailgate? Just wondering how I'll know who to speak to, who to avoid, and who to potentially take a swing at when they're not looking.
So you think 10-2 Alabama with a win over Missouri would get left out (if Missouri goes 11-1 and loses in the Championship game to Texas or Ole Miss)?
Think they would both get in. Very real possibility SEC gets 4-6 teams in
Problem is i dont think OU is very good either
@GabeD why is it (you included now) that everyone has Mizzou as the easiest schedule. Has no one looked at Texas and Old Miss? In the SEC they only play one Top 10 team. Ole Miss looks like the easiest in the country given where everyone stands today.
I definitely think the SEC could get 5 teams in. It’s possible the SEC will get a 6th, and obviously has a lot to do with how other Power 4 teams finish (it’s possible and probable that Oregon and Penn St could both finish 11-1 as well). Lots of time it will shake out, just my nightmare scenario lol.
I really don’t either, but I still think they’re safely better than NC State and Norman is obviously a tough place to play.
Nothing new on my end
I don’t know Inhavent broken everything down
Texas played at Michigan. Ole Miss goes to LSU. I think both of those teams second toughest games are tougher than Mizzou’s second toughest game
That game Saturday in Starkville is going to be a true Sickos game.
Smart idea. And I if I have a member on Ignore, I want it noted on their nametag.
I would have to disagree with your assessment of our opponents…
I’d say BC was better than we thought, Vandy is still better than we thought (they were down 12 at 2 different points in the second half and came back to take a lead.. I know they lost but for what Vandy used to be.. that’s still improvement.. and it was on the road), Auburn is worse than I thought, Texas A&M is better than you’re giving credit for in my opinion. ND’s defense is good and Weigman was dinged up…. Else they’re 3-0, South Carolina is better than we thought after a bad week 1.. Oklahoma May not be flashy but they’re 3-0 and Tulane is probably about an equal to BC.. maybe slightly less… although I believe Tennessee beats OU by 17+ this weekend if they play well.
Losable games depending on how we play
F still beats UMass
D still beats Vandy
C still beats Auburn and Arkansas
B gets us by South Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas A&M
A has us in the game vs Bama

Mighty Michigan beats Arky State by 10...at the big house. Oh boy. Maybe Michigan is living off big name bias and isn't a top 30 team. And how about Wiscy getting waxed by Bama at home? How weak is the Big 10? Other than Ohio State, do they have a team that would post a winning season in the SEC?
I’d be careful about deciding who is a legit ranked team 3 weeks in. I could be wrong but I don’t think BC would have been ranked if they had not beaten an 0-3 FSU team on national tv when FSU was highly ranked. Things will shake out in another 3 weeks when several conference games have been played and pretenders will go by the wayside. I am just hoping we are not one of them. I’ve seen us sprint out to 7-0 and the wheels fall off. I’m not expecting that and certainly think things are shaping up for a good season but am kinda hesitant of penciling in win against teams that are legit SEC teams to come up with 11 or 12 wins, having just won by 6. Yeah I know the stats said we won by a lot…but another broken coverage and we’d have lost by 1. Ga at Ky ..would you had rather had the dawgs and 7 or us even at ATM? Stuff happens . I can’t wait to see it come together. Ill go to all the playoff games we can muster.
They may be ranked in the top 20 but what would they have done to be there? Beat Florida? Arkansas?
It’s an 11 AM game to start. And Mizzou’s 4-2 at Kyle Field since 2000. It’s a tough place to play. But Mizzou has won there before and can do it again.
At 11-2, I agree.
If Mizzou is 10-3 as the loser of the SEC CG, then it’s not only possible but likely we get left out of CFP.
How do you think we could be in the SEC championship game with two conference losses? I assume you aren't thinking one of the regular season losses would be to UMASS.
Just saying, that's a team with as good a caliber of raw talent throughout the roster as about anyone, probably coming off 4 straight wins with a lot of confidence. We may get 'em, and I'd certainly rather have our team, but it's at least close to a 50/50 type game on pure talent.
