So you’re saying that’s impossible? The stars aligned for Kentucky last year and they don’t have anyone like Allen or that RB on their team in 2019. Florida was a NY6 team who won their bowl and we were a dropped pass away from beating them. They are replaced by a meh Tennessee team that is being led by an O-like moron in Pruitt. We were two dropped passes from finishing 10-3 on the season. We will be okay in 2019. A lot of teams on our schedule have a hell of a lot of deficiencies as well minus Alabama who basically has the number 1 recruiting class every year.
To me it comes down to:

1. Will we be able and willing to sit Guidry and play Whop over him and use Williams in the slot?

2. Auburn is a wild card. Are they National Championship caliber Auburn? Are they 8-4 Auburn? Are the 3 win dumpster fire Auburn? If they either of the first two we probably lose there. If they lose to Oregon and A&M I like our odds. That's a season defining swing game for both of us.

3. Is Tennessee this years UK? With our "luck"** yes. But they play Florida and Georgia before us while we have a bye week. If they upset either of those two we could have a problem there. Those to games will determine our psyche going into the LSU game which will be tough. And then also our psyche going into the Texas A&M game after that as well. If we lose four in a row how will our team mentally handle going into Fayetteville with a four game losing streak?

4. I do think we have a chance to finish strong. Alabama is impossible to beat for us no matter what and the officials won't allow it although we will play our ass off. I think we find a way to beat Arkansas, and then we have Abeline Christian and Ole Miss at home.

When we've had a "1999" or "1980" or "2010" or "2014" season we had to have things break our way with the schedule. It's not a coincidence that we played Vanderbilt three of those four seasons. I know that was a sticking point with 1999 that we didn't have to play Tennessee, Florida, or Georgia that year but that was just how the schedule fell. Same with 1998 although we actually lost to UK that year. Anyway- we need to pull for Oregon and A&M to beat Auburn, Florida to beat Kentucky, Florida and Georgia to beat Tennessee, Texas and Florida to beat LSU, Clemson and Bama to beat A&M, and for Arkansas to not have any upsets.
