Mizzou is a east opponent though, so it would bug me.
Any loss would bug me. The question is, would it bug you less than losing to Alabama? If you had to go 1-1 in those games, which would you choose as the win? That us, ultimately, how I had to put the list together . . . by making a series of those 1-1 decisions.
I think Bama and UGA have too much talent to beat. I think we can beat SC. I actually think MSU will be a tougher game than people are thinking.
I think SC and UGA are about even, and both are on the road . . . I think it would be great if we could split those, but I'm not sure if we can. Alabama is a loss, and winning would be no less than a total shock.
MSU is not an easy game. Really, with where we are after last season, none of the games I ranked below 4th has a better than 55% chance of winning, IMO. At least I think that's where the national perception would be.
