I think you nailed it. If i had to change something, I would swap Tennessee and Arkansas.

I get the feeling that the barn is going to rebound a little bit, TAMU will be easier because we get them at the first of the season (already in our crosshairs) and Ole Miss has sort of a let down year...

1. Georgia State
2. Chattanooga
3. Colorado State
4. Kentucky
5. Miss. State
6. Arkansas
7. Ole Miss
8. Virginia Tech
9. Auburn
10. Texas A&M
11. Ohio State
12. Tennessee
13. LSU
14. Georgia

This was more to my thinking. IMHO, Tennessee will be better this year than last. LSU will be stronger than tamu as well.

I'm not buying UTK being one of our 3 toughest games.

I'd look for LSU to be slightly weaker with what they lost.

I suspect TAMU will be a war.

Same with Georgia if we meet them again in Hotlanta.

Oh. State would be a great match up in the BCSNC (Almost as big as ND and Bama for promotional purposes) and I like our chances!!!!

So three toughest IMHO:

3. LSU
2. TAMU
1. Georgia

13. Florida State
14. Florida
My take after considering who I think wins other big games late in the season, and how much time we have to prepare for each opponent.

aTm scares me more than LSU but I believe LSU will have the better team.

No way I'm ranking UTenn higher than tOSU.

Flyboy, I'm with you on the order.

The big hurdle is aTm, mentally if not physically.

The next biggest is LSU. Remember, they tend to win in Tuscaloosa, like we tend to win in Baton Rouge.

I also agree the Mississippi teams are not pushovers any more.

I don't know. As good as our offense should be this year and with the way LSU's defense was decimated, I'm not sure how well LSU will stack up against us.

Here's what I'm thinking:

1. Georgia State
2. Chattanooga
3. Colorado State
4. Kentucky
5. Miss. State
6. Auburn
7. Arkansas
8. Virginia Tech
9. Tennessee
10. Ohio State
11. Ole Miss
12. LSU
13. Texas A&M
14. Georgia


Looking at it like this, I'm thinking that we couldn't have much of an easier schedule for an attempt at #3 of three in a row. Maybe it's just the football fever but every day that we get closer to kickoff the more I like our chances at winning #16 this year. :biggrin2:

Yup, Fla St beats the Gators at Gainesville for this to happen. And other things like Michigan winning one against Ohio State either at Mich or the conference champ at Indianapolis. Michigan plays football, too, you know! :)

I'm not trying to be a hater, but shouldn't this list as constructed be called "Alabama's Easiest games in order"?
