Are there triple digit rankings? If so, SC and Vandy might be in the running for those...

A&M and Florida ahead of LSU is a fricking joke. We return 20/22 starters plus have no where to go but up on defense.

The only game LSU will not be favored in next year will be at Bama. Even still that game will be interesting due to all the talent Bama has to replace.

Strongest OOC opponents in 2021 played by SEC teams based upon these very early rankings:

#2 Clemson- Georgia plays them on 9/4; S. Carolina on 11/25
#14 Miami- Alabama plays them on 9/4
#16 Texas- Arkansas plays them on 9/11
#20 Penn State- Auburn plays them on 9/18
#25 NC State- Miss St. plays them on 9/11

That is probably about right. ISU loses basically nobody, and has one of the best coaches out there. A&M has some growing pains, but a very solid foundation. UNC loses almost nobody - you saw their team in the Bowl game

As usual, the T5 are pretty much the same teams.



I could go on, but this list looks pretty good.

Yes, but your coach is Orgeron.

Alabama will be younger but crazy talented again. I think they win it all barring key injuries.

Bama too high. Doesn't mean they won't end up there, but I'd have a hard time putting them #1 after losing Jones, Smith, and Harris. Just too many unknowns.

I want Alabama ranked #1 when they come to Kyle Field. Alabama should be ranked pre-season #1 until somebody beats them. I want ESPN Game Day there as well. Especially Herbstreit and Pollack. I want 110,000 12th Man fans there. Kyle Field will be rocking. Night game!

People can sleep on us next year. We will finish the season ranked. We got better throughout the year and bringing in more talent than we had this year.
