This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They're basically starting with 3 losses. by PeteatND

They play at Clemson, at Georgia, and at home against Alabama. At the end of the year, they might've played the number 1, 2 and 3 teams in the country. On top of that, they have to play at LSU, and at home against Auburn and Mississippi State.

So, to get to the "over" of 8 wins, they need to win at least 2 of those middle-tier games, and go clean against the bottom 6 teams on their schedule - which still includes a home game against South Carolina and a road game at Ole Miss.

Arguably the most brutal schedule I've ever seen.
