10. New Mexico

This is another game that just won’t be close. It is a tall order to upset an SEC team like this and New Mexico just doesn’t have the ability to do it. Throw in that this game is at Kyle Field and it makes that goal seem even more unattainable for the Lobos. This is a team that finished 2-5 last season and I just don’t see that getting much better. I’m sorry New Mexico, thanks for coming.

9. Colorado

I was tempted to put this game ahead of some of the bottom of the SEC teams, but I refrained. This road game could be tricky for the Aggies as Colorado was one of the surprises in the Pac-12 a year ago. However, after getting blown out by the Longhorns in the Texas Bowl, things weren’t looking too great. They have a strong running game, but I have faith in the Aggie defense to be able to keep them in check throughout the matchup and in the Aggie running game to be able to keep up with whatever the Buffaloes can put together.
