You can't remember 2011?
oh, I certainly do. remember, we played bama twice. I think our regular season schedule is just as tough this year (Miami instead of Oregon) with MSU and maybe Auburn being better this year. I can't remember our other tough OOC opponent that year. west Virginia? if so, the aggies will probably be as good as they were.
but really, we're spitting hairs; both years were very tough schedules. we got fricked out of a NC. Miles and his big mouth; we got the breaks in the first bama game and he had to say "it would be an honor to play that team again". he planted the damn seed that got him buried.

the aggies arent gonna win a big time conf nor are they going to make a bcs type bowl. stop with that nonsense. our 2018 schedule is not as hard as 2011.
miami will not win their conf and play in a bcs type bowl like Oregon.

I said from the moment it came out it was a huge mistake. But make no mistake he didn’t plant the fricking seed.
Everyone knew it was a possibility. The whole two weeks leading up to the game the media was speculating about it.
The on field reporter straight up asked him “How would you feel about a rematch” which put him on the spot and he tried to answer with class like he always did.
Still, even that was a big mistake. Ive always said he should have just said something like “we aren’t thinking that far ahead we’ve still got several games to go” or something like that.
It still wouldn’t have mattered as ESPN had already decided the game they wanted to air, but yeah that clip didn’t help us or OSU

Well that Oregon team was better than what this Miami team will be. They lost to #2 LSU by 13 neutral site, and by 3 to #6 USC. They won the Rose Bowl by beating the Russell Wilson led Wisconsin team.
We beat West Virginia by almost 4 TDs, but they finished 10-3 and won the Orange bowl. Them and Miami are probably close to even though.
Before the 2011 season you had the previous year's;
12-0 Auburn (defending national champs, of course without Newton or Fairley)
12-1 Oregon (national championship participant)
10-3 Arkansas (Sugar Bowl participant)
10-3 Alabama
9-4 WVU
Even if you omit Auburn because of losing those two greats, we had 4 teams on the schedule that had previous 9 wins or better. But then if I omit Auburn, should I omit UGA who lost a ton themselves? Right now both schedules are almost even in their toughness (two prior year national championship participants, two 10 win teams, and a 9 win team).
However to say all that, I do believe this schedule will be much tougher considering Ole Miss, Miss St, UF, and possibly TAMU will be better than last year.
I had us at 7-5 (6-6 worst case) for months, but with Burrow, I think we can beat UF, Miss St, Auburn, and Miami now. UGA is going to win 10-11 regular season games again and Bama is Bama, so I'll project those as losses for now. If we can manage a 10-2 season this year (with a bowl possibility at 11 wins), then I think we are a top 5 team going into 2019
