    I would agree with his assessment that Texas has a shot at undefeated if they get by OU. But he underestimates Oklahoma State at Stillwater. OSU brings back all their skill people and they gave us a battle down in Austin last year. Tech is breaking in a new QB and we get them early in Austin, Baylor and A&M will be improved but we should win. Our non-conf schedule is soft.

    OkSt could be a big thorn for Texas but they folded vs. OU last year.

    I do agree with Mandel that LSU having to play Ga the week before they play UF....and UF has two weeks to get ready...will disable whatever the Tigers could have brought vs. the Gators much like what LSU did to Ga last year before the Dawgs expired in Jax.

    In the SEC when you play another conference power on the road the week before a big rival game it's a killer.
