    And the offensive juggernaut 0-3 Notre Dame at South Bend. And those poor guys actually have to play a Top 15 team on the road this year! :rofl:

    Don't forget our players have some payback to dish out to Auburn this year.

    It will still get built up as a huge game, and USC will be world beaters if they win. Of course.

    The UF game is only huge in terms of the NC. A loss to them in the regular season would not affect our chase to the SECCG.

    I care about winning the SEC first & foremost, and that means caring about Auburn, Arkansas, and Alabama (and we can throw Ole Miss in there just for discussion). Auburn should give us a good game as they will be a better team by the time they play us, but we're a much better team. Bama appears to be a pretty decent team this year & could have some favorable referring. Could be interesting to see our offensive wizard versus their defensive genius. I always worry about Arkansas, with it being so late in the year because injuries tend to mount up - like last year with our hurt LBs they ran all over us. This year I feel much more comfortable with our depth though. McFadden is still good enough to make it interesting. Coach 0 showed us last year that he can get his team "amped" to play well in big games, so you hate to overlook them.

    i think i tend to agree. there is so much hype about NC. this team gets all the love. this team doesn't. that team over there might blah. this other team over here will blah. everybody who gets beat is overrated. anyone top 10 who gets beat beat by not top 10...blah...blah...blah...

    SECCG is what i'm focused on from here on out. otherwise espn will just keep making me angry. herbstriet and granny holtz will just keep annoying the crap out of me. SEC is the focus. thanks for helping me get past all the hype. it was getting a bit overwhelming. of course, the NC will be in the back of my mind, but not my focus. for me, too high expectations for something so far off that i have absolutely no control over. just my thoughts.

    Am I the only one who thinks that Florida has about 50-50 shot at coming into Death Valley 6-0?

    Sure, Ole Miss is a walk, but Auburn has suddenly become a HUGE trap game for Florida. All kinds of talk will be about the #2 vs #3 the week they play AU. The Tigers will also be looking to rebound.

    Bad offense vs. Mediocre defense and Great offense vs. Above average defense.

    If you are correct then Florida will be looking to rebound against us. But there is no chance in hell Auburn beats Florida again this year. Florida will have their revenge. I would rather them be 6-0 anyways. Doesn't give the media any excuses.
