Arkansas – Saturday, Feb. 7 (Raycom)
LSU – Wednesday, Feb. 11
@ Auburn – Saturday, Feb. 14
South Carolina – Wednesday, Feb. 18

@ Tennessee – Wednesday, Feb. 25 (Raycom)
Auburn – Saturday, Feb. 28
Florida – Wednesday, Mar. 4 (Raycom)
@ Ole Miss – Saturday, Mar. 7
At first glance, it’s not too bad. Every game is tough in the SEC, but match-ups with the expected upper echelon teams seem to be evenly dispersed….kinda.
The Run-Down:
- The Bulldogs open and close the season on the road.
- The off week comes in week six, after two games on the road (@ LSU and @ UGA), and before a big game at home versus Ole Miss.
- Senior Night against Florida will be tough (looks like Brian Johnson will be the lone Bulldog honoree).
- Playing at Ole Miss on their Senior Night will be tougher.
- Easiest Stretch: Mid-February (Ark., LSU, @ Aub., USC)
- Roughest Stretch: Last 5 games (@ Bama, @ UT, Aub., UF, @ Ole Miss)
- Best case scenario prediction: 9-7
