Now that we got one big obstacle (Ole Miss) out of the way and also had a chance to see our future opponents play a few games it might be fun to see who you all think may be our toughest remaining test.

I have to believe it will be LSU. At their house. At night. Esp given the fact that they would appear to have found a QB. And notwithstanding how well we've tended to play there recently...

I think A&M will be the biggest challenge. We get them after a two road games in a row, while they have a bye. I thought LSU before the year but they're still a one man offense even with the Purdue guy.

Regardless of how clueless they look sometimes, it still has to be LSU due to the amount of talent on hand. It's down there and it is always the game of the year for them. If not the toughest then most dangerous in my book.

I don't see Tennessee as being all that good, I don't believe in TA&M and Sumlin, Arkansas will be a slobberknocker but Bama does what they do on both sides of the ball...just better.

Just my useless opinion

I think any of them could cause problems if we aren't on our game for them. I wouldn't overlook TN. They almost got us last year. LSU will be physical and Les has to have it, So that one gets my vote today.

On paper - LSU. They have more talent than the other teams, and you get them when and where they are most dangerous. That said, if they drop a few games along the way they might have given up by the time you come calling.

Texas ATM - because they're the third straight in a three-week stretch that sees us go TO Arky and TO Tennessee.

At least we have an off week prior to LSU. ATM is the roughest of the rough because we're gonna get some hard SEC hits three weeks in a row.

Team wise I'd say LSU, but the way the schedule falls you are right that aTm will probably be the toughest.

I think Tennessee may be, but at this point who knows, they still have to play Florida and TA&M. Could be a total different team if they break that streak against the Gators

I don't have a clue. In 2010 who saw South Carolina or in 2012 the Aggies ? Not me.
Actually, I saw both, and note what they had in common: in 2010, we came off of an emotional win over Florida where we were clicking on all cylinders. In 2012, we came off an emotional win over LSU on the road and got off to a 'hangover start.'

That's why I think the ATM game is the toughest. Of course, any of them other than Kent or UTC could, in fact, beat us, but it's the adding up that concerns me. I think LSU is probably the most talented bunch we will play and have a tough defense on the road - but really the bigger concern for me about LSU is the NEXT week because that game seems to take a lot out of both teams every year.

I'd be more worried if MSU was the Dawgs of 2014.

I'll go with A&M, though they are one bum ankle away from being mediocre, so it's hard to say what it will be like by then. A bit of that is because it is the 8th game in a row and after two on the road. Next, I'd say LSU, just because it is down there.

Nobody on the schedule scares me. As others have said, the team with the best chance to beat Alabama is Alabama. If the run game continues to develop, that becomes a less likely scenario.
