I think TCU will have better QB play than Florida. Could be wrong.

I really have no faith that we will excel vs. the spread offenses.  For that reason, I have us taking losses to OM, AU, and TAMU.  I think we have the chops to beat those teams, but I just can't get past how much trouble we have had with AU and TAMU in particular.  We really haven't been able to get many stops when it counts vs. those teams.  Kelly gave us fits last year and we never figured him out.  Thankfully, BA had a couple more bullets in his gun.  We go on our typical late season run to turn a possible 6-6 into 8-4 by upsetting UF and LSU just as we have OM and LSU the last two years.  Finally, we solve the Miss St. conundrum and have a shot at 9 Ws with the bowl game, which will probably be something like the Music City or Gator Bowl.

10 - 2 Overall and 6 - 2 SEC. I am definitely using rose colored glasses though. Think the A&M, Bama and TCU games could go either way.

[AugustaHog]

Why do so many of you think that we will get beat by Auburn? On the road or not, I think we kick the snot out of them.

Auburn wasn't very good last season and it took 4 OTs on our home field to beat them.  I don't know that they are a better team than last year, but I do know that we aren't appreciably better and lost some serious talent.  Stylistically, they aren't a good matchup for us.  We make mediocre spread teams look like the '98 Vikings.  If this new experiment with the disguised 3-4 and Ramsey rushing works out, I think we will be much more effective against mobile QBs.  What we have done in the past hasn't given indication that we will stop them, but I'm hoping scheme adjustments correct it.  If we figure that out, we can beat any team on the schedule.

The reason it was so close last year was our secondary. We made White look like a competent QB when he is terrible. We will not be as bad in the passing game this year. I don't know how good we will be, but we definitely will not be as bad as last year.

I think we go 8-4 losing one of miss-aggs-aub. But if you ask me whether I think we have a better or worse chance of winning, any individual of those games I think we win.

8-4 but I think 9-3 is extremely possible.

I think early in the year, there will be some growing pains for these new players. They will be great as the season progresses, but there will be some early issues. But I hope I'm wrong and we start 5-0 and win 10 wins or more.

Pocket Rockets gets off to a killer start, but falters against A&M, then rekindles the fire and leads us to victory against Satan resulting in a pitch invasion.  We tear down the goal posts, and a Kickstarter campaign is initiated to raise the $50,000 SEC penalty funds.  The following week, Ole Miss bows before us because at that point, we will be the SEC West Division leader.  Auburn sucks.  They have to play Clemson, A&M, LSU, and @Miss State before us.  They will give up at halftime, knowing that their season is over and their best postseason opportunity is the Fan Duel D-Bag-still-sporting-sideburns-Bowl.

Florida beats us because they're Florida. LSU gets revenge. We finish 9-3, but with 2 West losses, we still make it to the SEC Championship to rematch Florida.  And we beat dat azz.  Convincingly.  Because of a number of other randomosities, we end up making the BCS.

We get a nasty round 1 matchup against an undefeated Oklahoma team, and we win one for the ages, setting up a finale against 14-0 Boise State.  Okies skip work in Fort Smith, then get threatened with firings by their Boss Hogs, so they show up to take their verbal beatings.  There are altercations, at least two of which make the Times Record. Against Boise, we're a 7-point favorite, but we lose the National Championship 49-48, setting off: (1) a mass wave of general pandemonium, (2) SEC transfers to the Mountain West, (3) ROBERT SHIELDS, (4) Oklahoma switching to the blue turf, and (5) the Marianna fault. 

It's gonna be a helluva season.

That's a typical year for us though, especially the last 2. If the TCU game were later in the year, the Aggie game too, we win both. But Austin is inexperienced, so is the Oline and the backs. It all won't come together the first few weeks. I hope I'm wrong though.

[widespreadsooie]

8-4
TCU -- too early for us.
We're better than A&M, so we break that streak.
Just don't think we are quite "there" to beat Alabama yet.
The wheels might come off for Ole Miss, with all the problems they are having, but I don't think we can beat Chad Kelly twice in a row.
By the time we play Florida, I believe we will have answer all our questions and be better than they are.
LSU I don't see beating three times in a row

We could win any of the games I suspect we'll lose, though, and that's a good feeling. Most years aren't like that.

[Großer Kriegschwein]

Historically, two wins in a row wouldn't happen. I think we nail the coffin shut on Les Miles this year.

32-24 in Fayetteville.

8-4

I think this is the most likely outcome.  However, the only loss I feel is 95% certain is Bama.  I also think we could easily lose to TCU and Texas A&M.  I feel we could likely beat Florida and LSU.  At best, if everything went our way, I believe we could be 11-1.  At worst, 6-6.  8-4 is what I believe we will wind up going 2-4 against the 6 teams that are equal to or better than us. 

[bennyl08]

If TCU didn't have the same problems as we do, I'd totally agree. Heck, if we were playing TCU last year, even later in the season, I'd say we probably have a tough time beating them. Every problem we have, they have too, and arguably worse than we do. Difference comes down to who has the better athletes IMO.

Aggies, that's a tough one to call. Based on their offseason news, I don't see how they got better. If anything, they look to be a bit worse IMO. Their defense could be better with year 2 of Chavis, but with them still running that fast paced offense, his defense will be gassed. On offense, they are breaking in a new qb. They've lost much of the talent on the OL and they haven't replaced it. Receivers they do have but I like ours better. I have no idea who they have coming back at RB.

OTOH, we lost a lot of players but have been recruiting well at each level. Biggest thing we have coming back for us is both coordinators and continuity. They don't have that. I wouldn't be shocked if we lose the game, but given how close it has recently been and the trajectory of both programs, I like our odds.

We cannot lose to aTm again. Im not sure if any Hog team has lost to aTm five straight seasons.

1938 through 1943 we lost six times in a row. Since then, we had never lost three in a row.

6-2 Conference

Several to close to call, toss up games that could swing the season from 11-1 down to 7-5, so I settled in the middle.  If TCU was later on our schedule, it would be an easy pick for Hogs and we may still beat them badly.  Yes, I am picking us to beat Bama, largely assuming we have the depth on D to finally finish them off.  Ole Miss will be a coming out party for our Defense and we won't have to have to answer score for score and need a miracle to finish.  LSU is potentially better than we are, but they have been the last two years and we beat that *** until they prove differently.  We may play Florida twice this year...but I think we go .500 against them.

My heart tells me we go 12-1 and into the playoffs, my head tells me some configuration of 9-3 is realistic, with a very real possibility of finishing with 10 wins.

[hogfanmd]

New QB
Some shoes to fill on offense and defense.
Has the feeling of a 5-7 to a 7-5 type year
Hope to be wrong. Would love to be wrong
Not sure which teams the W or L will be
Young team usually has some unexpected losses and wins
Not ready to drink the 10-2 koolaid yet
Again hope and be happy to be wrong

6-6, 3-5.  But I could see winning any of the losses, even Bama.  Still, it's another tough schedule this year.  Most of the easier SEC games are away from home, which makes them a little tougher than they would be, so we'll need to pull a couple upsets against Alabama/LSU/Ole Miss/Florida at home to have a shot at improving on last year's record.

It's probably a 5-7 to 8-4 year, so I'll go 6-6 after being overly optimistic the last 3 seasons in a row.  Time to try being pessimistic this time.

We lost a lot on offense, but if our D can get closer to 2014 level, we'll be in every game.

You'll probably get torn apart for a 6-6 prediction, but I pretty much agree with this except for the Auburn loss. I also think we'll split with A&M and Ole Miss, but your prediction is pretty safe.

[WBOBO]

I'm going to the Bama game this year and I am 1-1 versus them.  Lost to them in 92 in  War M. and beat them in double OT in Tuscaloosa.  I've always said Bama is our stick to measure by in this conference but I have  been wrong.  It's one game at a time and take it day by day.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed, and yes  there is a pun in this post.  See who can figure it out.

if we're undefeated going into the auburn game, we wont lose a game all year. Auburn sucks. I hope that franklin kid is their QB, he's a joke.

Got us 9-3, Losses to Florida, Miss St ( they've had our number 2 years now with dumb luck, and if theres one think I know about Arkansas, its that our luck sucks ), and TCU.

[bphi11ips]

Predicting an Arkansas loss goes against my grain.  Every game on the schedule is winnable.  There's not one where a win would be a major upset.  Having said that, the toughest games to win are probably a function of where they fall on the schedule as much as they are the opponent.  In the order of most difficult to win, I'd go with this order:

1.  Alabama - I think Alabama will lose at least two games this year.  One could be to us.  On the other hand, everyone seems to believe the Crimson Tide are the overwhelming favorite to win the NC.  Given what they lost on offense, that tells me they are stronger than garlic two deep across the board.  The Hogs will have to play their best game of the year and have the ball bounce the right way to beat the Tide, even at home.  In 2014, Bama got our best game of the year, but the ball bounced their way. 

2.  Ole Miss - I think The Rebel Bears may be the most overrated team in the country.  Can Chad Kelly carry the team on his back?  By the time he gets to Fayetteville, he will have weathered Florida State, Alabama and Georgia, and Ole Miss could easily be 2-3.  On the other hand, Ole Miss gets the Hogs coming off an open date, and Arkansas comes off what will certainly be an emotional, physical game against Alabama.  Another close loss to the Tide may lead to a letdown like we saw in 2014 in the first half against Georgia.  Staying at home/home in RRS could help the team avoid the same letdown that happened there.  A big win against Alabama, though, could carry the team through the next weekend and a relatively easy win against Ole Miss.

3.  Auburn - this game is third because (a) it's on the road after physical games against Alabama and Ole Miss; (b) Auburn is coming off an open date; and (c) Auburn has deep talent.  On the other hand, Auburn may be a team and fanbase in turmoil by the time we get there.  They may very well be 2-4 and 0-3 in the SEC, and Gus may be enjoying his severance on the beach.  Everything at Auburn turns on the QB situation.  They'll have a decent defense, but it won't be good enough to beat Clemson even if Auburn signs Peyton Manning to a one week contract.  But Auburn does have three interesting options at QB.  Sean White is probably the least interesting, but he does have some experience.  Jeremy Johnson has tools.  If he regains the confidence he had against Arkansas in the first half of the 2014 game, Auburn could be much better than expected.  And then there's John Franklin III.  He's the wild card.  If Franklin is the reincarnation of Nick Marshall, Auburn may have one of those years when it comes out of the blue like it has done so many times in the past.  On the other hand, a bad loss to Clemson plus a loss or three to A&M, LSU and Ms. State, and boo birds may replace War Eagle before the Arkansas game.

4.  A&M - it's hard for an oldtimer to not expect the Aggies to beat themselves.  On the other hand, we've lost the last three and have been the ones to beat ourselves.  The Aggies could very well be 3-0 and on a roll when they meet us.  BUT - they have big questions at QB and have yet to show they can run the ball or stop Arkansas on the ground.  I think we hold on to the lead this year.

5.  Florida - well, they're Florida.  While it's hard for an oldtimer to imagine losing to A&M and TCU, it's just as hard for one to imagine a victory over the Gators.  A pre-Spurrier victory in the something-or-other-bowl just doesn't give me much comfort.  Otherwise, the Gators seem to be the eastern equivalent of Alabama in the trenches and LSU in the secondary every time they meet the Hogs.  The good news is we get the Gators at home after an open date, and they still appear to be more Muschamp's team than McElwain's on offense.   

6.  LSU - We've beaten them soundly two years in a row and get the Tigers at home with the same QB and crew they had last year.  Am I missing something?

7.  TCU - we could lose, but we shouldn't.  Arkansas is not a good matchup for the Horned Frogs.  Back when there used to be frogs, a lot of them were squashed on the road.  That's what I see happening in Fort Worth.  A trail of squashed Frogs.  Flatter than a pancake.  Everywhere.  On the other hand, TCU may not be a good matchup for the Hogs.  Can they pull a Texas Tech on us?  Maybe.             

8.  Mississipi State - No Dak Prescott.  No problem.  Hope MSU enjoyed its run against the Hogs, because it's now over. 

9.  Missouri - the Tigers North have a good defensive line.  So what?

The other three are wins.

As usual, I'll go with 12-0 until proven otherwise. 

[redleg]

I've already posted my "picks", but let's try this:

La Tech = 1-0, easy win for Hogs after starting slow, 45-17.
@ TCU = 1-1, Hogs lose after a terrible call at the end of the game that allows Frogs to kicking FG with no time on the clock (think 1982 vs. SMU), 28-30. Officiating crew suspended for two weeks without pay.
Texas St. = 2-1, Hogs take out frustration from previous week on Bobcats, 63-07.
Texas A&M = 3-1, Hogs still angry over Big XII refs incompetence, run over Aggies in regulation, 34-21.
Alcorn St = 4-1, Hooray Hogs play these guys in the Rock. Thanks scheduling guru, 56-14.
Alabama = 4-2, Hard fought game, Tide is one play better, 17-21.
Ole Miss = 5-2, Chad Kelly runs his mouth before the game giving Hogs D bulletin board motivation, Wise and Agim sack Kelly twice each, Razorbacks run over Rebs, 35-24.
@ Auburn = 6-2, Tigers D average and O has no running game, Hogs grind out win, 30-17.
Florida = 7-2, Arkansas finally gets an SEC win over the Gators in a defensive game, 23-14.
LSU = 8-2, Tigers have very good D, very good running game, no QB, Hogs win another defensive game, 20-17.
@ Miss St. = 9-2, Bulldogs are depleted of talent, most notably no Dak Prescott, Hogs win going away, 38-21.
@ Missouri = 10-2, Mizzou is terrible right now, especially on offense, Hogs pull away in the 4th, 35-16.

Arkansas is 10-2, 7-1 SEC.
Alabama loses to Ole Miss for third year in a row, and LSU beats them in Baton Rouge for first win since 2011.
Arkansas (10-2) (7-1) and LSU (10-2) (7-1) are SEC West co-champs! Hogs go to SEC Championship by virtue of their win over the Tigers!
Arkansas upsets Tennessee (11-1) to win the school's first ever SEC Championship! No SEC team in the playoffs.
Beat Oklahoma in Sugar Bowl, 38-28, finish 12-2 and ranked #4.

8-4

No strong conviction in this, just playing along. Really not sure what I think about many of these.

Predicting an Arkansas loss goes against my grain.  Every game on the schedule is winnable.  There's not one where a win would be a major upset.

Dude, word to that.  In my opinion we're knocking on the door of Alabama and have shown to beat very good teams in LSU and Ole Miss.  We COULD win every game.  TCU in all honesty is probably not anywhere as good as LSU or Ole Miss BTW. 

[Biggus Piggus]

How would you rate the schedule difficulty, from best to worst?

Alabama = L
LSU = W
*Texas A&M = L
Ole Miss = W
@ TCU = L
Florida = W
@ Auburn = L
@ Miss St = W
@ Mizzou = W
La Tech = W
Texas St = W
Alcorn St = W

My thought is that home vs. road will make a great difference this season.

I'd rank difficulty like this

LSU
Bama
Florida
ole miss
aTm
TCU
Auburn
Mizz
MSU
LaTech
Alcorn
Tx St

I don't really know anything about the last two schools though.

Alcorn State is a member of the SWAC, which plays football on the FCS level.

Texas State is a member of the Sun Belt, which plays football on the FBS level.

Preseason top 25:

1. Alabama
5. LSU
19. Ole Miss
20. TCU

Anybody know why LSU's supposed to jump up to No. 5 this season? Oh yeah, Brandon Harris is finally good.

If our team could be as good in September as it will be in November, picking outcomes would be easier. I don't believe the Hogs will be as good the second week of September as they will be later on. And the road trip to Auburn is our eighth game without a break, coming right after Alabama and Ole Miss.
