And by upset, I'm meaning a game that as of right now, we likely won't be favored.
I'm going Kentucky on the road.

I don't count those as true "upsets" | #4 | ||

Sans GA Tech. Yea, if we beat any of those three other teams, they will be "upsets." When I think of upset, im thinking LSU, Florida, Bama, GA Tech
and UM. I think we will beat one of those four. Bama and UF are my two most likely candidates now. I will say this, for us to go bowling this year, we need to
start 3-0.

Since that is your definition of an upset.

You're reading comprehension sucks. The thread starter clearly defined an upset as "a game in which we will likely not be favored." That probably
covers UK, Auburn, and GA Tech this season. I will agree starting 3-0 is a must for any bowl hopes.

When Carl Walters of the Clarion Ledger would say in his Sunday column that MSU "certainly won a moral victory yesterday" by beating a 21 or 28 point
spread. Thing is, that's about the best we could hope for in those days.

I heard on the radio that Ga. Tech returns | #11 | ||

almost all of their starters as well. That game will be very tough.
Also, one FYI...Ga Tech plays 3 SEC teams this year. That has to be a record for a non-sec school. |

i wouldn't consider auburn an upset. the tommy tuberville bastardizing tony franklin's system experiment is over, but the team just looked weak beyond
being beat by everyone. i say we beat them handidly and we shake up the west. we could beat LSU at home this year. but we never play them well so i'm not
holding my breath.

almost any win outside of Jackson State could be an upset. I think we beat GaTech or one SEC team at home. Any of those games would be an upset. Honestly, a
win over Houston could be an upset.

Three SEC teams last year and fared pretty well....2-1 against the SEC.

I'm more worried about us just making it to 4 wins and not losing to Houston or MTSU. Since Houston could easily be the favored team by that time in the
season. 3 games we must win are JSU, MTSU, Houston. Then we must win atleast one game between either Kentucky and Vandy.
My upset pick is going to have to be Auburn. I think that game is pivotal since Mullen and chizik are first year coaches at their schools and a win can set the tone for the series for the next few years while these coaches are at the helm. My one game I think we play very strongly but then pull the U.S. second half choke job will be against Florida. I see us putting up an early fight and then getting pounded in the end. |

but I'm going to go on a little bit of a limb and go with Georgia Tech. I went to the game last year, and it was a comedy of errors to say the least. I
really think our defense quit after they scored their second TD. I'm picking this game because I think we will have an offense that can stand a chance in a
shootout. Plus, we will be at home.
My second pick- Florida. When was the last time they won in Starkville? Heck, when was the last time they beat someone from Mississippi? Even Croom beat them in Starkville. I think they overlook us aGAIN, and we surprise them and ruin their season. Then Jesus Tebow goes off on a rant that gets enshrined on some building at UF and they win the NC over Ohio State.

"This league doesn't care how hard you try. This league cares about having real players who can perform certain skills. If you try to throw a fastball in and you miss the middle of the plate, the league doesn't care that you're a really good kid. The game says you better execute the pitch." - John Cohen |

I would say Vandy if they were in the second half of the season, but they are our third game. Vandy is usually good for their first four or five games. I
picked Kentucky because we have had close games against them the last few years.
