Do they get a reprieve from the media due to being artificially down.? There's such a love affair in the national media for them and hell they climbed back last year. I can't see them garnering a #1 ranking with even the bottom 3-4 SEC on their schedule. Seems to be all about projected dominance over your initial slated to play lineup more so than a true 1:1 comparisons against the actual field. I like rooting for the dawgs to win instead for others to lose most days but I have to say I'd love to see them end up on their faces.
