I love how this is dismissed as a ridiculous post, when recent history would suggest all three are more likely to go 6-6 than they are to go 10-2.
well if we are going by recent history then Bama will run a soft finesse princess pretty offense this year which will hurt their defense in the long run for practicing against a soft finesse princess pretty offense. I for one am glad to see the direction your team is taking.

If we go by recent history, Bama will win 10 games and probably a title. And Arkansas will win 2 or fewer conference games

Like Bob Dylan sang, the times they are a changing.

To answer the OP though... toss them in the air and see who lands on top. I see a clump of teams that could all finish with 8-9 wins. The Vols have the most talent. The Hogs have the fewest question marks. Ole Miss has the best defense. Any of them could go 6-6 or 10-2 if things fall into place.

The biggest wild card is Ole Miss. They could get white hot and contend for the West, or flame out and battle for a bowl game depending on QB play. I think the Hogs and Vols are both teams building a solid foundation for future success but in the SEC sometimes you need to take baby steps.

I think the vols are the correct answer.

Dude if you even think for a second Ole Miss is getting near the over hype of Tennessee and Arkansas, then you clearly have Ole Miss on the brain.

depth problems


???

I can think of maybe two positions where depth might be an issue if the injury bug runs rampant. We cannot take too many hits along the O-line. Other than that I would say we are thin at middle line backer but I would not say it is a problem. What are you talking about?

I've gotta admit I've never seen someone so dedicated to hating Ole Miss since when I 1st saw Coach34 you two are definitely on the same level of hating Ole Miss 








I think texag is him. I remember he has dropped the "oxford is grenada without the lake" line before. A coach 34/coonass go to line

There is a good chance that at least one of these has a 6-6 type season disappointing their fans and putting their coach on the hot seat. 


Please tell me why Miss State is not 1 of the options?.....

Arkansas hands down. The other 2 teams have more talent . ole Miss is built for this year if they can't do better then Arkansas this year then they are in big trouble with this being the last year most of there top guys will be on the team.

They have a brutal schedule, but I think they'll be the "best team."


Brutal schedule? Are you fricking kidding me? They draw TN an MO from the East, Tenn is on equal footing with AR and Mizzou is just a little better - I see "toss up" on BOTH those games

We all play in the SEC, so calling 8 conference games "brutal" is bullshite; especially when the OOC games are a joke.

I have picked 7-5 for BOTH UT and AR and I have Tenner winning the head to head.

But who is MOST likely to go 6-6 or worse?

Probably Tennessee, mainly because they have the most difficult schedule; esp with @ Oklahoma

The entire conference is a dogfight this year. I do not expect a national champion from the SEC. Aside from Vandy, everyone is at least decent, even UK.

Florida will not be a disaster thanks to improved management. I'm expecting a jumbled mess, with Arkansas having the best season out of the three mentioned.

QB play will determine how Ole Miss does, and the OL is key for UT. No idea how either of those go.

If you were looking for a serious discussion then you should have added MSU to the question as well.

Arky
Tenn
OM
MSU

Are all hoping this to be a big year.

For OM I understand our possible issues at QB. If Kelly can step up and perform then we could have another good season. My hope is that we go between 8-4 or 9-3 and take out a couple of big teams to help with recruiting for next year. Which is shaping up to possibly be a HUGE year for us.



Why would you include MSU? Nobody is hyping them or picking them high. 5-7 wins is what the experts already expect.
