5 Non-Conference Games the SEC had better take very, very seriously
1. Utah State at Tennessee, Aug. 30
2. Boise State vs. Ole Miss (in Atlanta), Aug. 28
3. Louisiana-Lafayette at Ole Miss, Sept. 13
4. Mississippi State at South Alabama, Sept. 13
5. Missouri at Toledo, Sept. 6
Team That'll Disappoint
Ole Miss – Auburn’s schedule is just tough enough that 8-4 might be possible, but it’s Ole Miss that will likely fail to live up to expectations. The schedule isn't all that bad - especially getting Vanderbilt and Tennessee from the East - but if the Rebels lose to Boise State in the opener in Atlanta, it could be uh-oh time. The expectations are jacked through the roof for a team with so much talent, but is it really possible to beat both Alabama and Auburn at home? Even if Ole Miss splits, it still has to go on the road to deal with Texas A&M, LSU, and Arkansas. If everything works out, 9-3 is the likely ceiling, but 7-5 is possible. Either way, it probably won’t be the dream season many are hoping for.

I agree that both Mississippi schools better be leery of 9/13/14.
