re: 2017

LSU is going to lose a ton of talent off their defense this year...looking at the roster I see about 7 starters gone with one of them a junior leaving early. They had a total of 17 seniors on their team...of course some of those were non factors...but I also count probably at least four or five starters on offense gone also.

They wont be the same team in 2017 when they have to come to the Swamp. LSU could be near the bottom of the west division next year. A&M could be middling in the west. Arkansas loses a lot of seniors also. Would be good to see the east start to rise up against the west...although it would be nice to see UT go 0-2 against LSU & Bama next year.

Ole Miss will be a good offense but defensively they will be suspect again...AU might be a very good team and they play UGA every year and will seek revenge against them in 2017 in Jordan Hare..they also have road game early against Clemson and at Mizzou. UGA also plays Miss State at home. I see UGA as the team we will contend with for the east.

USC travels to A&M and has Arkansas at home. Bama opens with the girls school 9/2/17 in Atlanta and has UT at home and Vandy away. Bama also has LSU in BDS..damn those cajuns will be struggling to be bowl eligible..seriously LSU could be 7-5 at best. Ole Miss will have two east teams at home in 2017 Vandy and UK. The Rebs have 7 home games but do have back to back road games with Bama and AU.
