Great numbers for Hall! Hope she is fully healthy and stays that way!
How did Gillen sneak in there with all those Gators?!?!?! ;-)

If you haven't checked out James's site, you should! I am not a Vols fan (not a hater, either), and I have always found it to be well-informed, accurate, and interesting! Good stuff, James!

Yeah, as others have said, The site James runs is very helpful. It was definitely an inspiration of my old SEC threads on this board. I learned how hard it is to keep up with everything, stay organized, etc. so I have extra respect for him consistently turning out good content.

I know Florida has Stanford and Minnesota while Kentucky has Creighton, UNI, and USC but what other quality opponents do other SEC schools have this week/weekend that everyone should be keeping an eye on to get a better gage of the conference? (I don’t have the time to individually look through every schedule right now...and it’s a good talking point).

Arkansas vs San Diego (25) LSU vs Penn State (7) Missouri vs Michigan (14) Thanks. I don’t really like the SEC’s chances in those but with it being early in the season and teams still working on cohesion, I wouldn’t be surprised by an upset somewhere in there. Regardless for the W’s and L’s, I’m intrigued in the clash of styles those matchups provide. I think we’ll get a pretty clear picture of what to expect later in conference after this weekend.

I think Mizzou has the best chance. I don’t think LSU has everything sorted out yet, lineup-wise, and the Hogs are playing without their best attacker (and even with her, I still think they’d be a pretty big underdog). Michigan was a little wobbly this last weekend, going 5 with Northern Arizona in Ann Arbor. If I were picking an SEC upset, I’d look at that one.

Arkansas vs San Diego (25) LSU vs Penn State (7) Missouri vs Michigan (14) Mizzou over Michigan and Arkansas over SD are definitely possible. LSU not so much

I'm pulling for Mizzou to upset. That would be a great SEC win and would catipult them in the top 25 (at least by a few places).
