They can recognize the hardship of going up to Raleigh-Durham on Thursday night with 4 days to prepare and use that as an excuse for losing to NC State or some other tobacco road nobody for ten years, but they can't see at all how tough it is to play a 4 week gauntlet like we are going to face this year: Alabama, at Redstick, at Auburn, then Georgia in Jax.

They beat USC without Lattimore and beat the worst Florida team in 20 years. Hooray for them. They would be competitive for the SECE this year for sure. The idea that they could be written in as the SECE champ in August is totally laughable and demonstrates just how far out of touch some of them are with what the SEC is.
