East - Florida.
West - I don't think there is one. Everyone expects Alabama, Arkansas and LSU to be very good. On any given day, MSU could beat any of those three teams and it wouldn't surprise me at all. Ole Miss is going to suck. That only leaves Auburn, but I just don't see it happening with four strong teams in a six team division.

the only possible options for a sleeper pick would be ole miss, vandy, and kentucky
the only way state would be a sleeper is if they got first or 2nd in the west
auburn could be a sleeper but since they won a nc last year, they are out of discussion.
i think vandy will be better than expected.
i don't think you can call SC, Fla, or GA a sleeper because they are all picked by a lot of people to win the east by process of elimination. But if one of them was actually really good and won the SEC, you could call them a sleeper, I guess.

Hog's are the dark horse of the SEC this year. We don't really think they'll win it all, but they might!

Vols?

I am really not convinced on USCe. They have more developed talent than anyone in the east IMO, but inconsistencies tend to plague them immensely. People are picking UGA to be second in the East or even contend, and everyone is excited to see what UF can do with that talent and a new OC. I'd say Tennessee is the biggest sleeper, simply due to the fact that they have one of the better QBs in the league and people are writing them off. If they win the East and go to the SECCG, they could knock off the West team and potentially win the SEC.
I don't think the West has any sleepers except maybe MSU, and I just think the West is too brutal for them to come out and win it outright. Every favorite in the West has flaws right now [Ark loses Davis, LSU loses a bar fight, and Bama's unproven QB], but Bama looks the best out of the top three.
