🏈 Predicting every SEC team’s first loss of 2016

[252BAMA]

"The college football offseason is a funky beast. Every team presents a foggy unknown that can cloud even the most rational fan’s judgment. Combined with high levels of fan optimism, it creates this big, lumbering paradox that lives in the doldrums of June and July.

Until the games start, we have no good sense of how all this talent will mesh on the gridiron. So we default to optimism. Unless you’re a South Carolina fan, in which case it’s hard to feel good about much when you have a loss to The Citadel still haunting your dreams.

Few enjoy actively thinking about the first stumbling block their school might hit. After all, some might say, how you finish can outweigh a strong start. (Leonard Fournette would agree with you!) But we’ve also seen early losses dictate the course of a season.

Today, we at SEC Country are going to force you to accept that eventually your team will lose, your coach will do a lot of shrugging during the post-game interview and you will be sad. So on that happy note, let’s get started:"

South Carolina: Sept. 1 at Vanderbilt
Auburn: Sept. 3 vs. Clemson
Missouri: Sept. 3 at West Virginia
Ole Miss: Sept. 5 vs. Florida State
Kentucky: Sept. 10 at Florida
Mississippi State: Sept. 17 at LSU
Arkansas: Sept. 24 at Texas A&M
Florida: Sept. 24 at Tennessee
Georgia: Sept. 24 at Ole Miss
Tennessee: Oct. 1 at UGA
Vanderbilt: Oct. 1 vs Florida
Alabama: Oct. 15 at Tennessee
Texas A&M: Oct. 22 at Alabama
LSU: Oct. 22 vs Ole Miss

His first four are most likely correct. After that... Esp. Bama v. UTurd :eyeroll:

Believing, "you are what you think." I think, I'll wait and be surprised. Or not.

Pretty sure it's a waste of time asking Tennessee players and fans to do the same. Nothing spells success in Knoxville these days more than the latest kool aid article.

Almost like it really happened.
