    and I've said that if Butch wins any of those three games than we struck gold. ATP I'm assuming Butch is a good coach and not a (SEC)championship coach.

    Is Florida considered Big 3 this year? I would personally not include them.

    Seeing as they've won however many in a row, yep.

    I don't think that's too much to ask for, at all--at least in the sense of determining CBJ's prowess amongst the SEC-elite. If we pull an upset in year one, it bodes well for the future.

    However, aside from his monumentally stupid decision of placing 14 men on the field, Dooley almost bea......aww forget it.

    If I were ranking teams from strongest to weakest, they'd be 5th on our schedule IMO.

    Then we may be in heated agreement. I think if Butch is an SEC Championship coach, I would expect us pull off an upset. If Butch is a very good recruiter and a solid game coach (perhaps enough to put us at the level of South Carolina of the last few years, but not enough to win titles), then I wouldn't.

    Randolph is SEC def player of the week. First time we have had a player be named since Eric Barray, EricBerry

    I agree with that. I'm thinking from a practical perspective. We're not beating Oregon or Alabama.

    also listening the the Monday press conf and Butch taking full responsibility for the punt block. He said "i'm in charge of that and that's my fault. That can't happen."

    Big three as in UGA, SCe, and UF. I think all three are far more talented. Throw in the streak and yes I would consider that a major win.

    Gotcha.

    Yes, they are a part of the Big 3. I was using Bama, SC, UGA as my original Big 3. I don't see us beating any of those unless Gurley goes down.

    UF is the most likely with SCe a distant second. All jmo iyam tho.

    The shame of it all is that SCe is even in this group now.

    If we can get Worley off the field, I think Gators and and SCe are achievable upsets.

    SC is a conundrum to me right now. I contend Clowney is sangbagging to some extent, but teams aren't necessarily giving him opportunities to show off either.

    Also would not be shocked if this was Spurrier's last rodeo because he thinks it is his best chance to win.

    well, it is Spurrier, and it did take him 6 years to win more than 8 games and he had only done that once.

    i'm going to be "that guy".

    if we're so much better with worley off the field, why isn't he?

    I think it's possible UGA is really beat to hell when we play them. They'll have played three top ten teams in four weeks, and will be traveling to Knoxville directly off a battle with LSU. The situation really favors us, but the talent disparity is so great that I'm not convinced any amount of favorable situation will do much.

    Definitely think Florida, 50/50 on SCe.
