Well, I'd say so do I but... I say that because we've went into this game too many times where I thought to myself "yeah we got them this year" only to watch it slip away. There is something about that spread that just isn't right. For all the motivation you think the gumps being #2 will give them, I think the level of disrespect to our boys will light a much bigger fire or at least I hope so. To quote Corso, I think this one is closer than the experts think.
If we were SEC champ with two losses I don’t think we go if 4 other teams have less. The Troy loss will hurt us if Bama & Georgia only 1 and Big 10 have better records. They were talking last night about other conferences being better than us, so the SEC are not the media darlings anymore. It would not surprise me for the SEC to be left out if we win or for Bama or Georgia to jump us even though we would beat them especially if it’s a close loss.
