re: SEC Overachievers/Underachievers

Over: Maybe I'm bias here, but I'm going with Tennessee. Most people predict anywhere from 6-6 to 8-4 with 7-5 being the consensus. The VOLS have a team loaded with talent, and although we have someone questions marks at who replaces Dobbs, Sutton, Kamara, and Barnett, their backups are very skilled and very hungry. Tack on a few coaching changes (OLine, DBs, DLine - Hoke), a QB coach, a veteran S&C coach, and for the first time in a year, a HEALTHY team, and I think we'll surprise some folks. Not to mention this will be Shoop's second year, and prior to one bad season last year, he's had stellar defenses at every stop. I'm not saying we win the East, because Lyle is going to Lyle, but I could see the VOLS going 9-3 with a big win or two over someone we "shouldn't (FL/LSU/UGA/BAMA)." Naturally, however, we'll lose to someone we shouldn't, and if I had to guess, it'll be @Mizzou. I firmly believe Butch gets over the Muschamp hump this year.


Under: LSU or Auburn. Tough to say on Auburn... entirely depends on if Stidham lives up to the hype. We know he is a good QB in the Big 12, but is he an SEC-caliber QB? Is he going to be able to run Malzahn's offense? A few questions marks there that could really hinder your season. However, with a solid crop of receivers and a stout defense, Auburn still should have a decent (8-4+) season at a minimum. On the flip side - and my ANSWER - I'm going with LSU. With yaw yaw at HC, a first year OC, and a sub-par QB, I don't see this being their year. Similar to Auburn, you'll have a very good defense, but the temporary? loss of Key is going to hurt. One injury (Guice) could totally derail your season.

On a side note, I could really see every East team over achieving, in a way. Obviously they are going to beat each other up, but SCar, KY, Vandy, and Mizzou should all be improved and should be competitive with both SEC divisions. The West is going to be good as well, with the only team I really see a decline with being Ole Miss. I think this season, and really for the next few years, the SEC is going to return to the top conference of the national spotlight.

So you are upset, i owned you and people like my comments. It will be okay. Just get on your knees and pray about it.

you're telling me a certain segment of your fanbase doesn't predict how some other team doesn't have a chance against you guys

There's definitely several posters each season that make an arse of themselves on this site but I think every fan base has about the same amount. There just happen to be way more LSU fans on this board so when they all talk at once it's deafening and I apologize.

The UT and Missouri obession with UK is just odd to me, but it's OK I guess. Carry on V&S

don't know man. Maybe. Maybe it just seems like LSU has more because there are more LSU fans on this site than other fans

There are more LSU fans here than the rest of the SEC combined.

The sooner people realize that the sooner they can stop looking ignorant by making such hyperbolic statements based on how LSU posters appear on here vs. Everyone else.

Lol you are so dumb.
Responds to message = obsessed
Doesn't think Kentucky will be good at football = obsessed

Perm ban bet that Auburn won't beat LSU this year?

Nobody cares enough about an alter with less than 700 posts. Bring me some real blood and I'll take the bet
