re: Is Ole Miss this season going to be our hardest game to win?

2024 is by no means an easy schedule. But you can argue it is favorable. I suspect the preseason top 5-6 of the SEC will look like this:
1. Georgia
2. Texas
3. Alabama or Ole Miss
4. Alabama or Ole Miss
5. LSU or Missouri or Tennessee
6. LSU or Missouri or Tennessee
7. LSU or Missouri or Tennessee
LSU doesn't play Georgia, Texas, Missouri, Tennessee or even an Auburn team that could be a sleeper. Alabama and Ole Miss are both in Baton Rouge, along with Oklahoma.
Of the SEC road games the only team that may be ranked in the preseason top 25 is Texas A&M. It seems like Arkansas is going through just a wasted, lame duck year with Pittman. Sun Belt Billy is getting pounded at Florida and he may not even be on the sidelines by the time they play LSU. South Carolina is an underrated venue, but who in the hell is going to play QB for them? They couldn't beat anyone with a pulse last season. A&M may very well be a better coached team this season, but they've lost quite a bit of talent/production.

Each of those teams has a QB who has played at a high level, but none of them has done so in every game like Daniels did. Nussmeier has only a limited sample but clearly the ability is there. His play has been similar to Dart in that he makes great throws but forces a couple of throws every game. The team which gets the most consistency at the position will likely prevail.
Milroe won't be able to win big games without the supporting cast from last year. Missouri may have just caught lightning in a bottle this year and may slip a notch but still be good. Tennessee seems to find a way to underperform each year. Texas may end up with a QB controversy if Ewers begins the year inconsistently.
If the new coaches and players can improve the LSU defense to a top 40 level and Nussmeier is the player we believe he is the Tigers could land somewhere in the top 3 which could likely qualify for a playoff spot.
