My "way too early" 2012 predictions:

Disclaimer: This is JMHO.
Georgia
Undefeated. Possibly 1 loss. Returns the most and has the easiest schedule to navigate. Catch some luck in the SECCG and it's off to the races.
Alabama
2 losses. Michigan and LSU will catch us. A lot of talent, but not quite there and missing some key pieces.
LSU
This is tough. All that's coming back looks great. 2012 looks to be a great year on paper.
But...
With what is leaving, and Mett being unproven at best with no back-up but a TF (GK), no "go to" man, and a questionable LB corps; I see them dropping 2 games as well. A couple teams in the SEC are gonna catch them that they didn't see. They still beat Alabama in BR.
Who makes it to Atlanta?
Georgia - Again 1 loss or unbeaten
Alabama - The Tide edge LSU by only having 1 SEC loss to the Tigers 2.
Who wins?
Georgia. Heads to the BCSNCG
and...
Alabama heads to the Sugar Bowl.
Most likely to get an AT LARGE BCS bid?
LSU. Same record as Alabama, but beat the Tide in the regular season.
OR...
South Carolina. Beaten by Georgia but might not lose again. Georgia holds the tie-breaker and edges them out. Cocks could be another 1 loss team as well.
Team to watch?
Arkansas. They have the talent to compete no doubt, but it's still Arkansas. I would NOT be totally shocked if Arky made it to Atlanta, but would be less shocked if they turned into the season's "dissapointment."
Winner of the BCSNCG?
Southern Cal.
USC returns a great defense, that strangely did much better against speed in 2011. But with an offseason to get stronger they will shut down speed and/or power. 2012 USC defense will be VERY much like Alabama's 2009.
Georgia won't have the defense to hold up. Preparing for USC's offense is like game-planning for three QB's. Matt Barkley is deadly accurate whether it's a long or short ball.
That offense is at real as it gets and Lane Kiffin knows how to coach. Trying to cover deep, underneath, and stop the run will be too much.
From 00-05 it was USC against the world.
From 06-11 it was the SEC against the world.
From 12-(whenever UM builds tOSU back up)
it will be USC against the SEC.

Better chance Arkansas wins 11+ than 9 or fewer.

No more Jefferson should automatically catapult LSU to number 1

If (and I mean fricking "if") we were to go to the MNC and lose to USC, it wouldn't be because our D couldn't hold up. I can guarantee that.

OM beats 1 of UT or A&M next year.

If we beat Alabama, what 2 teams give us trouble?
@Arkansas could be tough, but we beat them handily this year.
MSU and Ole Miss will be wins.
@AU is always tough, but we crushed them this year and they lost their best offensive player in Dyer.
@UF is always hard, but UF is nowhere near the team they used to be.
USCe is a good team, but is no better than Arkansas and won't beat us at home.
@aTm is going to be a joke.
You already conceded we would beat Alabama.

This cannot happen unless rules change

Is this sarcasm?
LSU goes 14-0. That's really not up to debate even.
