Crimson Tide
Realistic best case record with this
schedule: 11-1
Barring total disaster worst case record: 5-7
Realistic record: 10-2
Non-Conference Schedule: Virginia Tech, FIU, North Texas,
Chattanooga
Games vs. the SEC East: at Kentucky, South Carolina,
Tennessee
Summary: The Tide made a huge
statement against Clemson to kick off last season, and they're
hoping to do the same this year against defending ACC and Orange
Bowl champion Virginia Tech. The rest of the non-conference
schedule (FIU, North Texas and Chattanooga) is laughable.
Getting a week off before facing LSU at home is nice, but road
trips to Ole Miss and Auburn will make it tough to repeat as
West champions. On the plus side, Bama can't ask for much more
than for two of the SEC road games to come against Kentucky and
Mississippi State. There are only four true road games and
there's a stretch from October 11th to November 13th without
going away from home for anything.

Realistic record: 7-5
Non-Conference Schedule: Missouri State, Texas A&M, Eastern
Michigan, Troy
Games vs. the SEC East: Georgia, at Florida, South
Carolina
Summary: Considering the first game is against Missouri State,
Arkansas doesn't really start its season until September 19th
with the SEC opener against Georgia. Follow that up with a trip
to Alabama and Arkansas can either make a huge early statement
in the conference race or be knocked out. Going to Florida and
Ole Miss in back-to-back weeks is as tough as it gets, but
things ease up in a big way with home games against Eastern
Michigan, South Carolina, Troy, and Mississippi State to follow.
While Arkansas always plays LSU tough, going to Death Valley to
close out the year isn't a plus.

Non-Conference Schedule: Louisiana Tech, West Virginia, Ball
State, Furman
Games vs. the SEC East: at Tennessee, Kentucky, at
Georgia
Summary: Watch out. The last thing the Gene
Chizik era needs is to start out with a clunker of a home loss,
but that could be a problem with a tough game against a strong
Louisiana Tech team to start out. After a date with Mississippi
State to open up the SEC season on September 12th, the
conference slate gets tough with three road games in four weeks
going to Tennessee, Arkansas and LSU. While there's a week off
before playing Alabama, the second half of the schedule could be
a nightmare playing at LSU, Ole Miss, at Georgia and Alabama,
with a week off and a layup against Furman thrown in there.

Realistic record: 8-4
Non-Conference Schedule: at Washington, UL Lafayette, at Tulane,
Louisiana Tech
Games vs. the SEC East: Vanderbilt, at Georgia,
Florida
Summary: LSU isn't exactly extending itself in the non-conference
slate, even though it's not the program's fault that Washington
stinks. The SEC schedule is nasty with Georgia and Florida to
deal with from the East, while trips to Alabama and Ole Miss in
November could end any hopes of winning the SEC West. Holding
serve at home, even against Florida and Auburn, will be a must
with three road trips in four weeks down the stretch. The battle
against the Gators on October 10th could be a preview of the SEC
Championship.

Realistic best case record with this

Barring total disaster worst case record: 5-7
Realistic record: 9-3
Non-Conference Schedule: at Memphis, SE Louisiana, UAB, Northern
Arizona
Games vs. the SEC East: at South Carolina, at
Vanderbilt, Tennessee
Summary: If Ole Miss doesn't come up with one of the best seasons
in school history, it can't blame the schedule. The
non-conference schedule is a joke, with the toughest game at
Memphis, while the Rebels get a huge break missing Florida and
Georgia from the East. The toughest road game is at Auburn,
while Alabama, Tennessee, and LSU all have to come to Oxford.
The only concern will be the two game road trip to South
Carolina and Vanderbilt to start the SEC season, but both of
those games are winnable for a team as good as the Rebels should
be.

Non-Conference Schedule: Jackson State, Georgia Tech, Houston, at
Middle Tennessee
Games vs. the SEC East: at Vanderbilt, Florida, at
Kentucky
Summary: Even the games that should
be breaks aren't breaks for an MSU team trying to build back to
respectability. While Jackson State is certainly a layup, the
rest of the non-conference schedule is tougher than it looks
playing Georgia Tech, a loaded Houston offense, and with a trip
to Middle Tennessee, who should be among the best in the Sun
Belt. Getting Vanderbilt and Kentucky from the East should be a
break, but both of those games are on the road. Getting Florida
at home won't matter. There isn't a killer stretch of road games
while the week off comes in November just before facing Alabama.
