Was looking at next year's schedule this morning when it hit me that we will be playing 3 teams that have been ranked number 1 in the CPR (Alabama, Georgia & Miami) and a team that beat two of them (Auburn) when they were number 1. A 9 and 3 record at this time next year may look pretty good.
Gonna be tough. The only upside is the other 5 of 6 SEC teams we play outside MSU don't appear to be very good next season. If Canada is gone, then I predict a 7-5 season and start of the slide that gets Orgeron fired after year 3.
New QB New RB New Top 2 WR Experienced, though young OL New but upgraded DL Best back 8 in the SEC (depending on what Jackson and KT2 do) Talent will be upgraded, but will they be ready?
