    Ole Miss took us to the woodshed, but other than that, this team hasn’t really been beat down. Definitely seeing improvement from week to week.

    I still can't pull for them; if we can't take care of our bidness, then so be it

    Lunardi has graduated us from "Next Four Out" to "First Team Out."
    Yay.

    Tons of work left to be firmly in. We have finally started to lay some quality foundation though.

    Got to beat aTm. We can’t afford to take a loss there. Beat them and Auburn and we are cooking with fire.

    Looking at the Pick'em thread, some serious love going on for the Gators. Double-digit road win?

    Just looking at scoring average per game, UF scores a lot more than A&M. I just went with their average scores because I don’t really see a reason not to. Definitely not confident in a win, but pick em is just a game after all.

    15-6
    5-3 in a top conference
    Road Win at Rupp

    Seems a little harsh

    That’s true - multiple chances to earn a reasonable seed as well

    One thing that surprises me and shows how out of step Linardi is based his poor seeding of UF, is that Jerry Palm who usually has UF a seed or two below average, currently has UF as a 8 seed.

    Lunardi plays this thing for controversy and click bait all season, then will align his picks with the obvious on Selection Sunday and then crow about how accurate his picks are.

    I don’t get that impression. I think he’s being tough on UF this year, but I don’t think he picks a certain way to create controversy.

    He has 12-8 aTm as a 10 seed. That seems strange, but we have to beat them today. This is one of those games that doesn’t help you that much if you win, but really hurts you if you lose. It would really help aTm, though, so you know they are going to come out blasting.

    A&M is the worst shooting team in the SEC and they have not played a very good schedule. We have to be able to play through the bumps and hand checks that will be part of the game. My worry is that they are coming in w a week of rest and will play with a lot of intensity. I wouldn't worry too much if we lose the game, though. They are favored.

    Wow, ESPN Analytics favors TAMU by about the same percentage as they did for UK. It would be something to prove them wrong again!
