Football season is creeping closer so I figured I'd predict how the SEC teams will fare. I'm gonna go pretty in depth with these, I also tried my best to include some upsets. I figured I would make some bold predictions for each team as well. I know I'm probably gonna get roasted for these but oh well, I can take it.

1. LSU Tigers: 11-1(7-1)
Losses: Arkansas
1. Alabama Crimson Tide: 11-1(7-1)
Losses: LSU
3. Ole Miss Rebels: 8-4(5-3)
Losses: Florida State, Alabama, Arkansas, LSU
4. Auburn Tigers: 7-5(4-4)
Losses: Clemson, LSU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Alabama
4. Arkansas Razorbacks: 7-5(4-4)
Losses: TCU, Texas A&M, Alabama, Auburn, Mississippi State
6. Texas A&M Aggies: 7-5(3-5)
Losses: Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee, Ole Miss, LSU

Losses: Florida, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Missouri, Georgia, Tennessee, Louisville
6. South Carolina Gamecocks: 4-8(1-7)
Losses: Vanderbilt, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Clemson
SEC Championship:
LSU over Tennessee
Bold predictions for each team:
Alabama-
•Alabama will struggle at QB all season but will still win 11 games due to the immense talent at other positions
•The defense will be just as good as last season despite losing some key players
Arkansas-
•RB play will be just as good as last years with Rawleigh Williams and Devwah Whaley
•The Hogs defense will be Top 5 in the SEC
Auburn-
•QB play will be significantly improved
•The D-Line will be one of the SEC's best
Florida-
•QB play will struggle the few weeks of the season but will pick up as the season goes along
Georgia-
•Jacob Eason will be good but won't be as good in his Freshman year as many think
•The secondary will emerge as the SEC's best
Kentucky-
•The WR corps will be one of the best units on the team but their talent won't be shown much due to QB play
LSU-
•Leonard Fournette will win the Heisman Trophy as LSU claims the SEC and a berth in the Playoffs
•Brandon Harris will be much improved
•The secondary will be one of the best in the country
Mississippi State-
•By seasons end, Nick Fitzgerald will be one of the SEC's best QB's
Missouri-
•The offensive line will give up the most sacks in the SEC
•The defense will be one of the SEC's best
Ole Miss-
•Chad Kelly will have a very good season but not as good as 2015 due to so much talent leaving
•The RB's will struggle
South Carolina-
•QB play will be improved enormously, McIlwain will assert himself as the starter
•The offense will be better than expected but the defense will struggle
Tennessee-
•The WR corps will be improved, along with Dobbs accuracy
•Barring injuries the D-Line will be one of nations best
Texas A&M-
•Trevor Knight won't be as good as many think
Vanderbilt-
•Vandy will start the season 6-2
•They will upset one of the big 3 in the East(Florida, Georgia, Tennessee)

Alabama, Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss will be 1-4 in that order. Idk why, but I don't think the dumpster fire that is Texas A&M stands a chance against Arkansas. Not only that, but Bert seems to be Freeze's kryptonite, so they win that one. LSU is debatable but I still think they win that one.
Arkansas gets blown out of the building by Alabama. That game will be a 3 TD beat down at the very least.

I think A&M finishes a couple spots higher, but I'm obviously biased. Pretty solid/realistic predictions though. I could definitely see similar results shaking out.
Also, I don't know many people that think Knight will be an All-American. Most that I have talked to are just hoping for a solid game manager, that doesn't make a lot of bad decisions.

So Bama would likely be in the playoff if your predictions come to fruition.
I can see this happening.

I like you

This is not troll/homer/etc.
And i know.... 4th & 25...
But I don't think this team loses to Arkansas 3 years in a row. Just like I don't think this team beats Bama 3 years in a row. I do think we lose to LSU this year. Fl St is a toss up.

Good write-up. I don't see LSU beating Auburn in Auburn this year though.

11-1 or 10-2 for Alabama
Doesn't win the West. No playoff. I'd be okay with it. Blow the doors off some fluky in the Sugar Bowl. We need to win that bowl game again. That all being said, get some good QB play and the sky's the limit.

10-2 with losses to Florida and bama scares the shite out of me. We'd still take so much shite for not breaking those streaks even if we did manage to win the SEC or something

If TN loses to Florida again, you can write them off.

Year 2 of Chavis with 8 returning starters / or serious PT last year. We will surprise some people this year who saw 2 QB's transfer, and don't realize that Knight's play this year will be better than any QB play we got last year.

Yea give me 10-2 with an L to UGA or A&M lol.
UGA could lose to @Mizz, Auburn or @USC so we could still go to Atlanta.
I honestly now that I think about it would rather go 10-2 and beat UF and miss out on the SEC Title game then going 10-2 with an L to Florida to go to the SEC Title game and lose.

I don't see how we lose to UF and still manage 10-2. Seems like it would F with the teams head and we'd go 9-3 at best IMO.

This should be a ridiculous statement, but we fricking suck when we play at Auburn. Even when we have won, its only been because we are significantly more talented. Its always a struggle.

I don't think so this year, I'm thinking AU will be worse this year than last and the Gus bus will be shown the exit ramp.

I don't expect a win but that is highly doubtful at home. Maybe a 10+ point win.

All things equal, Auburn is one of the toughest places to play at.
