If that's the case with a team as experienced as this one we are royally ****ed after this season.Quote:

Games ranked in order of easiest to strongest:
vs. ETSU
vs. BGSU
vs. Memphis
@ Arizona (still 10 pm kickoff scares me with Leach)
vs. Auburn
@ LSU
@ OM
vs. Ark
@ UK
vs. A&M
vs. UGA
@ Bama
If versus Aggy is our tenth toughest game, then we have ten winnable games.
Good list, and spot on except I would move @LSU below @UK. I think we win 8 regular season and win the bowl game. Losses @bama, UGA, @LSU and a random loss to someone else but we upset aTm at home to counteract it and get us to 8-4Quote:

But that schedule is far from brutal with who the teams are in 2022. Even Georgia with all the people they lost is in play since the game is at home.
Just remember that ls 10 central but 8 out there. And Zona is badQuote:

SC plays Clemson, UPig, A&M, Fla, Georgia, Tenn, and Kentucky. Our schedule is no tougher than theirs
It's the SEC- everybody plays a tough schedule
So the preseason top 25 is how the season always plays out right?Quote:

Out of interest, where is it ranked? I'd like to see itQuote:

Plus, we wont know until the end of the season who had the toughest schedule. Nobody has played a down of football- so just like the preseason top 25- it's just speculation.Quote:

Ok the second ranked SOS in the countryQuote:

I wouldn't say cake walk. I'd rather not play Memphis, if we don't keep our heads in the game, it can go south quickly. I'm hoping that it will be a revenge type game and we'll smoke 'em.Quote:

2019 UCLA was terrible. Wazzu was 3-0, UCLA was 0-3. Leach was up by 32 with 20 to go. Wazzu scored 14 more points. UCLA still won in regulation.Quote:

I think that's what he was saying. Same tier but since we play om at their place, it will be harderQuote:
