Jimmy might better get him a prescription for Xanax with the upgrade in competition he's about to face!I think Fisher has the acumen and the existing talent to be a national title contender most quickly, but they also have a brutal schedule, playing Clemson and Alabama in the first four weeks. I think I'd still pick them to finish 2nd in the SEC West right now. Auburn can't have two good years in a row by law, and LSU will continue to trend down with Coach O.
FWIW, I think A&M made a good hire and the real losers could be teams like Auburn and LSU who have been accustom to beating them. TAMU becomes a much tougher out for those who are typically vying for 2nd place in the SECw.
