12-0 is possible, and I'd still be extremely pleased at 11-1 if the loss is to Bama. I'd like to see us in a BCS bowl before the system changes, and the top of this league is stacked. On that note, 7 in a row is good, but 3 of 4 is damn impressive. All the SECSEC joking aside, hats off to the Tide.

I'd predict 11-1 as long as Manziel stays healthy. Besides LSU and Bama, that schedule's pretty damn easy IMO.

they didn't even bother to pick up that one "decent" OOC game. Even Alabama fans have to call foul on that!

You know that other conferences have schools not located in Texas, right?

USC's schedule for next year isn't too bad:

Non conference:

@ Hawaii
Boston College
@ Notre Dame on my birthday

Conference Home Games
Arizona
Stanford
ucla
Utah
Wazzu

Conference Road Games
ASU
Cal
Colorado
Oregon State

Two hardest conference road games are ASU and Oregon State and playing the Irish in South Bend will be tough. Getting the farm and ucla at the Coliseum will help a lot.

4 OOC, 2 IAA and 2 midmajor, all at home.

Truly A&M has learned the ways of the SEC.

And only one really tough road game in LSU. Brilliant!

The best thing about this schedule: by delaying the start of A&M-USCe as rivals, Manziel may never have to face the wrath of Clowney. I am grateful.
Click to expand...

He'd never make it that far in the season.

Why else you think Saban got Manziel on the sideline for the BCSNCG. Hint: secretly x-ray'd him to look for brittle bone locations.

Didn't know he was at the game, must've missed that part. As for the 8 home games, I think it's in part to still filling in from the 9-game Big12 schedule we had to make for 2011. SMU was home-and-home at least.

09/14/13 at Texas A&M * College Station, Texas TBA
09/28/13 vs. Ole Miss * Tuscaloosa, Ala. TBA

Christ.

If they get past A&M I'd be shocked if they don't make it to the MNCG again.

They also only have to play Vandy and Mizzou out of the SEC East.

WEEK IN WEEK OUT

Bama's schedule isn't much harder
Click to expand...

It's close to a wash. VT just by name is stronger than their OOC, and who knows where Mizz and Tennessee will be, but Vandy's better than Kentucky. And you could say Alabama's only tough game on the road is A&M. Who Nick is already scheming schemes for, right now.

Unless Auburn and Gus and his DREAM TEAM of assistants can whip Auburn back into shape.


Believe me, I know how blah that schedule is. LSU fans know it too, since they've been screaming conspiracy for a couple months already. SEC needs to go to 9 game schedules.

I'm assuming they'll add a third I-AA.

he left off Colorado State (Coach McElwain, former Alabama OC. Basically, a pay day gift from us to him). Think that game is in between VT and A&M.

Agree that 9 game is needed in the SEC. Big12 also needs 12 teams to go back to 8 games so we can schedule Texas again. Forget the bad blood, I missed playing a notable game on rivalry week.

And we've got 3 mid-majors Cyan. UTEP moved up!

Oh, and now you want to play Texas, too? Are you aspiring to be the Florida of the SEC West?

Bray, Patterson, and Hunter all officially gone. Patterson will undoubtedly turn heads at the combine. Dude is probably the best athlete in college football and one of the beat I have ever seen play but got Dooley'd all year. Can't wait to see him actually coached and used in an offense outside of end arounds.

I hope the Titans draft him.

I think we open up with UNC next year. I wish we played those guys every year.

Which is odd because you guys let a very average EJ Manuel go balls deep in the CFA bowl a couple years ago.

That combined with Lattimore getting knocked out early in the game and Garcia having ladies and beer in his room the night before...so yeah that was pretty much par for the course for us that year!

Have there been any legit suprises for any teams about people staying? Seems like everyone that can is going, and some that shouldn't (isn't that always the case?)

Anyways, hopefully no strong offseason showing for Gators in Fulmer Cup.

Our friend Ted Roof has left Penn St to join Georgia Tech in his same position of defensive coordinator.

4th school in about a year for him...

Deloss would never do it. At least not until A&M is mediocre again.

Lsu has a few surprises and questionable choices. Tennessee has 1 (sentimore) is questionable.

Alabama, I'd say mosley staying is a surprise, and AJ "should" be a surprise. He's got good stats, size and arm strength, but remains underrated in scouting reports (I've seen him still listed behind VT's Logan Thomas, which is just stupid)

After Hopkins had about a billion receiving yards against LSU in the bowl game, it seems like he's going pro. He hasn't announced yet but word is he didn't enroll this semester, so....

Thanks, LSU, for not playing pass defense! Assholes!

With Ryan Kelly out indefinitely with a foot injury, I'm officially now more excited about our spring game and upcoming season. We have some important freshmen coming early that will most likely play a lot next year.

Actually I looked through a few today and they had him going to Baltimore with Seattle taking Terrance Williams out of Baylor with the next pick. For purely Madden reasons I'd be okay with either!

Seems like the consensus first two WR are going to be Keenan Allen from Cal and Patterson from Tennessee. After that its kind of between Woods from USC and Williams from Baylor.

Oh yeah, fuck Ted Roof. Honestly was a nice guy and he wanted to win, and the reality is nobody could have won at Duke in the sad shape it was in then. We won't ever be a national title contender or even a BCS bowl team, but whoever takes over for Cut will have something to work with.

I figured Hunter would have been in the top 4. I guess his poor play this year hurt his stock some.

How long till they get to R. Kelly. [/pun]


add one more to LSU Juniors Leaving list. OT Chris Faulk

There are some rumors of Alabama's Adrian Hubbard leaving for the NFL. No one thought he'd go, he's not ready. Redshirt Sophomore. But he's got good measurables. 6'6" LB with size, speed, and long ass arms. Alabama thought he was about to join the basketball team (good Basketball player too)
