Florida. Everybody is overlooking them after one bad year. I don't buy State. Beat somebody in the West that isn't Ole Miss then I'll pay attentiom.

I don't think MSU or Arky are sleepers. Most people are saying they will be good, possible contenders even.

I think the sleepers could be UF or TN. UF because no one really knows what they will look like. TN because they are so young there is no way to be sure how the team will respond.

Either way, I think Boom and Dooley will be successful coaches in the SEC.

No real sleepers in the SEC. Almost every team is strong. I don't think Tennessee is quite on par week in and week out. So Tennessee, Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt can b the only surprises I see.

not trying to sound like a homer, but I think Tenn fits the definition of a sleeper this season.
all previously mentioned teams are ranked. whereas Tenn is unranked but still has potential to surprise some people.

no disrespect to Vandy and Kentucky but potential ceiling of winning 6 or 7 games this season doesn't make them a sleeper. and West is too stacked for Ole Miss to actually be good this season.

I think people will be more surprised with UF than with USCe...in the West I think Arky will do more than most think...

State, LSU, Arky, Bama, Carolina none of these could be considered sleepers. I'll go with UGA due to their schedule.

Just looked at their schedule, thought they played au this yr but don't. Still could get there though, wins against OM, UT, UK and steal one other.

You think they're going to win those 3? Will they be the favorite in any of them?

This year I would say there is no sleeper SEC team that will pull off what Auburn did last year. Everything has to fall in place for that to happen: schedule, team chemistry, luck, coaching, injuries, and of course talent(inb4camnewtononemanteam). IF all of that is on the same page then it could happen. That being said the only team in my mind that comes close would be UGA because of the schedule. Arky was another pick to do it but the Knile Davis hurts as well as play LSU and Bama at home.

You'll be able to pay plenty of attention after September 10th.
