I think next season is a beast on paper but when you look at it realistically, the season is spaced out pretty good and can set up well for us.
First, Ainge and Woodson are gone. We will be pumped to seek revenge on UT and USC. UK without Woodson is, well...UK again. We will be up and pumped for LSU because they are the defending NC's and want to prove something to them. UF, we are always up for them (though had rather play UF then LSU rather than LSU then UF). We have an open date before AU so that will really help to our legs back. Ok, ASU, well...Pac 10...enough said.
So, they are set up well next year as far as being motivated and not having let downs, which IMO is a very important part of college Football. Just believe on paper it looks a little worse than it is.
