re: Rank these 4 teams

Ole Miss is starting a new QB who tore it up at the JC level but might have to wind up to game speed in the SEC. Cam did it yes, but he had a very potent rushing attack to lean on. Ole Miss hasn't shown that.

Bo was able to transistion just fine three years ago and Chad is incredibly more talented than Bo. Will he be better? That's yet to be seen, but raw talent...Chad is light years ahead

Talent:
1. Arkansas
2. Missouri
3. Ole Miss
4. Tennessee

Coaching:
1a. Arkansas
1b. Missouri
3a. Ole Miss
3b. Tennessee

Best chance to win SEC:
1. Arkansas
2. Missouri
3. Tennessee
4. Ole miss

That's kind of a big deal.

Sorry, I meant depth at OL, because we have a legit starting OL.

But yes, it's a huge deal and it's the reason we lost 4 games last year and unless Akeem Judd or Eric Swinney break out at RB, it'll hurt us again. That doesn't take away from the fact that we are incredibly more talented at every other position on the field than Arky and Mizzou. OM and UT are pretty similar. I think that just falls on Dobbs vs Swag

Your defensive ranking is wrong. We had a top 10 D in the country last year and we return 8 starters. Our seconday was one of the better ones in the SEC and we return everybody

How do u know? Spaight was a 2* recruit. Scheme is the difference and Robb Smith is proving his worth.

It's not like we lost elite draft picks. Solid players but nothing that isn't replaceable

"Talent" is such a subjective word. It's usually used to refer to skill positions such as WR and QB and carries a connotation of "raw talent".

Our QB won't wow anyone on paper but he's a solid QB, 5th year senior with a lot of experience. I know he sucked the year before last and I was the first one to criticize him...until I found out he was playing with a separated shoulder the entire season and basically practicing on saturdays. The strength of our team is O-line, D-line, TEs, DBs. I think our secondary is going to surprise some teams next year.

UT and OM have unproven QBs. Mauk vs Allen, idk. Mauk is inconsistent sometimes and Allen was hurt when we played them. Probably a tossup.

Mauk takes bigger risks and makes bigger plays. Allen is much more conservative but has few ints.

Coaching I think Pinkel and Bielema are top notch. I give the edge to Mizzou here because he's proven.

Schedules, Mizzou and UT have the easier road with vandy and uk so they have a better chance of winning the east.

Its an informed opinion, but its still an opinion. Nobody "knows" until the games start.

DL-Mizzou over Arky. Just the way it is.
LB-Mizzou over Arky and there isn't an argument to the contrary.
DB-This would be the one spot where you have an argument, but we have two Sunday guys at CB (one a possible first rounder). A 3 year starter at FS, and the most athletic safety we've ever had at SS.

You can pretend you "know". I wont.
