This begins a big five game stretch for the Cats with Clemson, Gonzaga, Colgate, Louisville and Ohio St.  Colgate is normally a good mid major, but seems to be down this year, so a little breather in the middle. But the other four games are all losable.  If we can go at least 4-1 in this stretch, I think that would be outstanding. We are going to take some losses in conference, the SEC looks like it might be the deepest it’s ever been, so we don’t need too many losses before conference play begins.

Auburn, Tenn, and UK are #2,3, and 4 in the AP this week. Bama is #10.  Incredible.

SEC is 101-16 so far this season. Mind blowing. Eight of the top 22 in the AP poll. Only two of 16 teams (Arkansas at 5-2 and South Carolina at 4-3) with more than one loss. Basically every conference game will be an all-out war.
