Based on 10,000 simulations looking at ESPN's 2017 Football Power Index, here's every SEC team's first projected loss next season:

Vanderbilt Commodores: (vs. Kansas State, Sept. 16)

Missouri Tigers: (vs. Auburn, Sept. 23)

Ole Miss Rebels: (at Alabama, Sept. 30)

Mississippi State Bulldogs: (vs. LSU, Sept. 16)

Arkansas Razorbacks: (vs. TCU, Sept. 9)

Texas A&M Aggies: (at UCLA, Sept. 3)

South Carolina Gamecocks: (vs. NC State, Sept. 2)

Kentucky Wildcats: (at South Carolina, Sept. 16)

LSU Tigers: (at Alabama, Nov. 4)

Florida Gators: (vs. LSU, Oct. 7)

Auburn Tigers: (at Clemson, Sept. 9)

Georgia Bulldogs: (at Notre Dame, Sept. 9)

Tennessee Vols: (at Florida, Sept. 16)

Alabama Crimson Tide: (No losses projected; best chance at loss vs. FSU, Sept. 2)

That's a shite load of OOC losses in September.

USC is one we can win. Should be close.

UGA gets up for that one big game at the start of every season. I think we beat ND.

This Alabama team is better than the previous few years? Bama is averaging 1.6 losses per year over the last 7 years (to 2010).

I like USC's chances, but the Wolfpack have been a trendy pick for the talking heads so far this off-season. Fortunately, their picks don't amount to squat, but they're all over NCState as a dark-horse
ACC contender

There will be a Tiger team that loses, but it will be the crack coke Tiger crying in its home stadium.



Clemson fans, You all need to really force a change on that dreadful mascot.

I'm sure throughout the 10,000 simulated seasons Alabama lost at least one in a lot of them. However, in the majority of them they didn't. At least that's how I think it works.

I full expect to have a really bad season, but UCLA is one team I'm not really worried about. Could be wrong, but I don't think Rosen has the support he needs.

Alabama is averaging 0.83 regular seasons losses per year the last 7 years and went 12-0 in the regular season last year (which is what this is predicting, it doesn't include the postseason).

We'll probably drop a game because going 12-0 is insanely difficult, but we did it last year. It isn't insane to think it could happen again.

Why UCLA/Notre Dame get so much preseason love every year is beyond me

There is no reason to think Norte Dame somehow is improving over their shitshow last year after losing their RD1 QB
