Upset Alert?

[Gator2753]

Which team on your schedule (SEC or not) is more likely to pull off an upset against your team?
Remember this has to be a team that you will more than likely be favored against.
For the Gators I'll say it's Ole Miss. Someone already posted an article on this but we have not fared so well against the Rebs the last few times we've faced them. South Carolina could def beat us but losing to USC will no longer be an upset loss for anyone IMO. Vanderbilt always plays us tough but we have them at home and later in the season. Ole Miss worries me the most as far as upsets go.

None of UA's OOC teams will pose a threat this year. The lack of a quality non-conference opponent this year is well documented. We need a break after 2 years of Texas and 2 more of Southern Cal. UA will most likely be a push with most of the other teams outside of Miss. State and Ole Miss. Miss State will be in Little Rock so there will me no upset there. I dont see Ole Miss beating UA either. They looked very weak last year in Fayettville. UA might me a slight favorite over bama in Tuscaloosa and that is a game that bothers me because its Satans first SEC game and I am sure the crowd will be in a frenzy. DMAC needs to take one to the house early or it could be a long day for the hogs. So I say Alabama.

[pvilleguru]

bama's first sec game is at vandy.

[The Ramp]

since we'll prolly be favored in the VT game, i'll go with them

[Gator2753]

bama's first sec game is at vandy.

I know they played well enough to beat us the last two years in a row. I think most Gator fans will disagree with my pick and say Vanderbilt. The are tough.

[Gator2753]

Thats who I thought most LSU fans would pick. Shoot some people think LSU should win all their games next year, myself included.

[jthomas666]

bama's first sec game is at vandy.Yep. That game will be featured in a lot of upset specials.

[The Ramp]

we'll prolly be favored in all of them if that means anything. last year we won every game we were favored and won only one of three we weren't favored. vegas is ususally smart

[UAdan]

I will say either Vanderbilt or Ole Miss.

Vandy is our first conference game, on the road, and with an early-morning start. I don't see us coming out rolling over them. I would expect a tough ballgame, like Vandy always gives everyone.

Ole Miss just about beat us the last two meetings. Bama will probably be favored, but the game is in Oxford, and Coach O needs a win against an-upper half Western Division foe. Bama might be his best shot.

[hmsdawgs]

:wacko: As long as its not Vandy AND Kentucky...I will be happy!

[DonAU1124]

I honestly think we could be upset by USF, I know it may not be probable, but we have them early in the year and they will be fired up. Other than that I think we will be favored against Bama and they could beat us.

WDE!!!

[pvilleguru]

i was just replying to the arkansas' fans post about them being saban's first sec game. not that i think vandy will upset us.

[PuddingTime]

Man.....hard as hell. MSU plays here....we just simply aren't going to lose that one. Vandy beating Kentucky isn't an upset....our series stands at .500. I think Kent State is favored to win the MAC and has a couple of threats at QB, like a running one for one, which usually doesn't bode well for us....so I'll pick Kent State as a potential upset.

[WarEagle73]

Would Georgia beating Auburn in Athens count as an upset?

[SWINETIME]

Satan's first home game I think.

[AU Blaaaaaaaake]

USF, but I don't think we lose the game. They have a good QB and a sound offense, but their defense does not compare with the SEC.

[lacene]

I guess I would say Kentucky. They haven't beaten us since 1999 (when everybody beat us), and they will be coming to Columbia. We should also be looking at that game as a "grudge-match" of sorts for our defense. Or at least for Coach Cooper, lol.

Kentucky's offense will be for real, IMO. Our defense should be improved from last season, when we were holding them to 17-0 early in the 2nd half, and 24-10 until about 3 minutes to go in the game. Their D, on the other hand, will most likely still be struggling, so Spurrier should be able to flex his offensive muscles in this game.

But the game will be on ESPN, and Kentucky should be motivated to play their best against us. If we make some bone-headed mistakes, or take UK too lightly, we could get burned.

I still think we should win this game decisively, but Vanderbilt will also be in Columbia, and we blew them out 31-13 on their field last season. UNC will be in Chapel Hill, but they will still be 2-3 years out from putting a competitive team on the field, IMO. Lou-Laf, SC St. and MSU will not beat us, and GA, LSU, TN, ARK, FL, and Clemson should not be considered upsets if they do beat us.....

[Bulldog Bry]

Would Georgia beating Auburn in Athens count as an upset?

Seriously. :laugh:

[Bulldog Bry]

Oklahoma State

[jonthetiger337]

I don't think V Tech, Florida, and Auburn would be considered upsets. Arkansas, Alabama, and South Carolina are some teams that could upset us.

[WallyGoat]

It's hard to say. Bama is the under dog in the AU, LSU, ARK, UT, and UGA games, and possibly the F$U game. I think that one is about even.

Vandy might upset us, but I think we have the offense to beat them.

[MillDawg007]

Im going to say the game that scares me the most is BAMA.. I think we will be favored against OKState and win a close game. If it werent Bama i would say SC. If we get past both of these games i will be very surprised and happy.

[DEHIII]

I am going to go with Vandy.

They always play well against us. It is early on hence Vandy will not be beat up. We will be early on in learning the Saban and Major systems. It is at Vandy which means we will not have the overwhelming home crowd like at BDS (not that we wont have 40-50% of the place). It is also an early kickoff which usually means for us we are going to be a little slugish. Throw in the fact we have a crappy front 7 and Vandy (even though IMO they will finish last in the East) is a lot better talent wise then they have been in a long time and it very well could be an early upset.

[AUFootball24]

South Florida, for sure. They're a top 25 team, yet no one knows it. They were the second best team in Florida last year and could very well be this year.

[gatorunvrsty]

I'm going to have to go with Vandy. They play us tough every year, regardless of whether or not we have them at home on Homecoming Weekend. Plus, they ruined UGA's Homecoming last year, so they now have confidence they can do it. I knew, sooner or later, one of us was going to regret playing them on Homecoming so much; but, I thought it'd be us. We only won by 6 last year, and by 7 the year before in 3OT. I wouldn't consider SC an upset any more, and I think we'll punish Ole Miss. At this point, I don't think they even know who'll be running their offense, and we get them early.

[Chief Broom]

OK State could come in and surprise our defense before it gets settled.

[vandyfan84]

If anyone beats us, its not really an upset.

[Orange Blood]

I'd have to Kentucky or So. Miss.

Kentucky b/c they'll have a good team and it's an away game for us.

So. Miss. b/c they are somewhat decent (CUSA Favorites) and that game is in between Cal and Florida.

[volimhtown]

I'll go with Cal!!
First games of the year can be so unpredictable and I think the Golden Bears are going to be out for a little revenge. These Vols have ALOT of question marks to be answered right out of the gate!
Since that REALLY wouldn't be much of an "upset", my next choice is Tucky! And hell, who knows....that may not be much of an "upset" by the time that one rolls around either. At least we know they are...well....over-due!!

[KillerNut]

Penn State, Another night game and they'll do there infamous "white out" with 107,000 people. Buckeyes very seldom play very well in happy valley

[Carolina_Dawg]

I don't think an Oklahoma State win could be considered an upset when everyone and their brother is predicting them to win.

Now a Georgia win against Auburn in Athens would definately be an upset, considering the history and the road advantage this series has!

[Slap My Fro!]

Kentucky. No doubt. However, I hope we can make it 24 years in a row this season.

Welcome aboard Carolina Dawg... I listed Georgia as our most likely upset for that very reason!

Welcome to the board Fro. Gald to have you here.

[downshall]

If anyone beats us, its not really an upset.

Same here, excepting the real patsies (Div. II and such).

[shanksta13]

I'm almost positive we'll be favored in the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. Therefore, that would count as an upset and that is the only game I have marked as a loss on my calendar.

i have something different on my calender for Oct 6

Well, it's a good thing our calendar's don't match... better to have just you disappointed than both of us! :laugh:

[Rebel Chuck]

We won't be favored in many games so I'll tell you who we have the best chance of pulling the upset against.
Probably Missouri in Oxford. Everyone is picking them to win the Big 12 North and not even questioning the possibility of them losing to us in Oxford. This is going to be a great showcase for the strength of the SEC when we knock them off. Y'all should all be routing for us to win that one.

[GatorNation]

UT for us...

[shanksta13]

UT for us...

Wasn't really sure if that would qualify as an upset for us mostly because we lose 9 defensive starters and that game is in Week 3. Plus the fact that I don't see us losing that game. :laugh:

Now what makes you think that it would be an upset if we won? Oh wait.........right.........nevermind

Oh, I thought it was who is most likely to upset your team...and in that case, I have UT because they could be very good this year and we'll be favored.

The other games (UGA, Less-U, Auburn), which are the next most-likely losses, either are less of a risk for a loss or we won't be favored.

IMO

[UKat]

Kent State.........UK has always had a problem with supposed inferior teams.

I was saying that I wouldn't consider a loss to Tennessee an upset because it's so early in the season and we lose 9 starters on defense. I think alot of people could see us losing that game. However, I'm not one of them.

[PuddingTime]

Same one I see us strugglin w/...they have a runnin QB. That's all you need to know lol

So, you're giving Florida points in that game....?

[shanksta13]

I'm saying I think we'll win although there are plenty of people out there that think if we lost it wouldn't be an upset.

[shanksta13]

Basically what I'm saying really doesn't matter... :biggrin: I'm not really disagreeing with your pick just saying I wouldn't consider it an upset if we lost.
