I would flip Bama and Arkansas, then possibly consider flipping Northern Mississippi and Mizzou, but I can see both sides. I don't think Mizzou is going to be particularly good. We both get the bye the week before so that doesn't really factor in to difficulty in my opinion. Other than that I agree with this.

I doubted myself on exactly those games. What is interesting to me is that any given state fan's opinion of how the season goes is an indication of how we deal with the "segments" of our schedule. Coach34 alluded to it based on the affects of the bama game. I brlieve the arkansas game would be easier earlier in the season and the mizz game as well.

Glad we play auburn when we do, but optimally id like it flipped with the la tech game.

Same with LSU. If we played them 2nd half of the year or on the road I would move that game up. But early in the year at home to me is much easier. But the fact that some of us think LSU at home is the 7th most difficult game on our schedule tells you all you need to know about the SEC West.

I actually thought about bumping the Auburn game down only because we play them Week 4. Auburn's offense early in the season has always been completely different than Auburn 2nd half and I still think they are a year or two away from being a top flight defense. They take a few weeks to get their timing down and I think we catch them at the right time to upset them. Just sucks that it's on the road. Good thing is that our offense will travel well which means if we get into a scoring contest, I think we can win.

Why put together a list when Cadaver did it for me? Good job.

Yup

[BulldogBear]

1) @UPig - there are a number of factors. This is mostly where it is on schedule plus physical road game
2) @Auburn - It's early. That's good for us, but also it's a tough road game in hostile environment against a likely undefeated blue blood that the refs may favor, even if unconsciously. I pick this one as a win, whereas Mizzou as the second loss, but I really think this one will be "tougher."
3) Alabama - It's Bama... but it's time. Tough but W
4) @Mizzou - Road game, Thursday night, late in season. I think tough environment. In fact, we lose for first time this season.
5) Ole Miss - rivalry game
6) LSU - Sorry tiguhs, your a$$ is already beat and you don't even know it yet.
7) @TAMU - I will never fear losing to this team again as long as we are balanced and they are not. They are not.
8) Kentucky - LULZ

I swear we will beat Auburn
