SEC East

Something tells me if this year goes like most, SC won't be as bad over the long haul as they were tonight and A&M, while they'll be good, won't be as dominant over the long haul as they were tonight.

Georgia is the team to beat. They're better than us, we'll have to have some luck.

Florida is going to be a lot better, they'll probably beat us.

It made no sense that SC was supposed to be as good as the experts said.

I'll be honest. I don't know how anyone could say one team was better than another going into the season this year. On offense, UGA does have the big RB's, but beyond that, who knows. I'm sure Mason is good, but I'm not sure we know how good when it's his team. Same can be said about Mauk.

UF, like just about every other team in the SEC looks better on paper because they get all the 4 and 5* talent, but are they really better. I just fall into the camp of Driskell has to prove it to me before I believe the offense will be any good. Just too many seasons of being less than mediocre under him.

UT...again, big and solid recruiting class, but I think I read somewhere that they may have as many as 30 true freshmen see the field this year. No matter how good that class was, that tells me their upper classmen are meh.

We've seen SC and where they can be exposed unless they make changes.

Bottom line, even with last night, who wins the east is a complete unknown, though SC losing game 1 certainly helps everyone elses chances.

SC's D will be much better by the time we play them (they can't do anything but get better). Thompson will still be mediocre. It will not be an easy game.

Mizzou will be good, but our idea of good has risen to hunting for SEC title which really is elite. We are thinner on D and at WR and running back than last year. It would really take some young guys to come on fast, especially in the middle of the D, for us to get to the title game, but it could happen. Also since we aren't as deep this year injuries could send us back to 2012

I agree with that... I feel better, not confident though

No way guaranteeing a win or think it's automatic, but if the thought going into the season that the game @SC was going to be our toughest game, yes, I feel better. Though the flipside is, after seeing last night, we do have to go to A&M this year.

I imagine UGA is the runaway front runner now.

I don't think anybody is a runaway frontrunner this year. At least not this early. They have a lot of questions too. But I would agree with frontrunner.

I hope UFL has the same crappy offense as last year.

They will. They have no skill players on O, and Muschump is turrble. Their D is going to be outstanding though and we have to go there.

I agree with the earlier poster that TN is the dark horse.

Still too young, although on any given Saturday they might beat anyone.

My guess is we finish second to UGA and have a shot at the playoff with 1 loss.

My strong guess is only the winner of the SECCG is going to the playoff.

aTm looked perfect last night. might be toughie in college station.

If I had to rank our tough games it would be
1a) UGA
1b) aTm
2) UCF
3) FL
4) Scar (and I still expect them to improve a lot).
5) TN

and really I want to put UCF above FL
