@Texas A&M (three-peat about to happen. Vanderbilt is better than aTm currently)
@Tennessee (this is IF you believe they're going to be better)
@Florida (winning in the Swamp is not easy, but Muschamp has yet to get it going and STILL doesn't have an offense)
Georgia (home game, first SEC game, Georgia is not great early in the season)
Losses:
Alabama
@South Carolina
I would say 8-4 is a good baseline. That would have them splitting the toss-up games (Likely beating aTm and Tennessee and losing to Florida and Georgia). THey're not going to lose a non-conference game if Franklin is healthy.

At Florida and at Tennessee will be much tougher games than a lot of Mizzou fans seem to think.
Florida is still loaded with 4 and 5 star talent, especially on defense. UT was missing their starting QB and top WR last year. They are a lot more talented than their record from last year indicates (think about what our record would be in Franklin was out half the year).
Both would be tough games at home, but Rocky Top and The Swamp are two of the toughest stadiums to play at in the country. If we split I would be thrilled.
