re: So, which team improves the most, the soonest.

Still, if either Ole Miss or Auburn were in the ACC we might be talking about which BCS bowl they should go to. Their biggest problem is that they can improve a LOT and still not show up a lot in their conference records

This is exactly right. This morning we took the FIRST step in eventually competing against LSU, BAMA and now TAMU. Nobody thinks that this class alone will give us an SEC championship, but you have to start somewhere. I think Freeze has already shown that he can coach up a limited talent pool and get them to buy in and perform beyond expectations. We will see what he can do with real SEC talent in a few years.

If he can develop this class AND pull good classes the next few years, we COULD make some noise in the SEC with developed talent AND depth, two things that OM has rarely had at the same time. Even then though, we still have to play BAMA, LSU, TAMU, AUBURN, etc. So anything can happen. We could have a top ten team and still end up at .500 in SEC play because the West is just that damn good.
