Don't underestimate A&M and Mizzou for starters. LSU looks to be possibly as dominant as last year, Bama believe it or not could possibly repeat as NCs with a better offense and a nasty defense despite the losses. UT has to be better surely. I see UF taking a couple steps forward in Boom's second year. Auburn will be much better with new coaching blood and a lot more experience.

The Mississippi schools will probably be about what we saw this year imo. Vandy is going to be Vandy. USC will be even better and possibly win the East. UGA will again be better and with a little luck win the SEC.

I can't forget Arkansas who could be a good bit better if some WR's step up and UK will be terrible again.

Overall I expect it to be even more tough going next year as we all beat the shite out of each other.

I still don't get the excitement around the hawgs... they couldn't be better than this year with their best RB having come off an injury... no RB comes back off of injuries like that and are the same or better. They'll likely suck on D too.

The LSU/Bama game will decide the title once again, but hopefully the loser of that game, whoever that may be, is out of the title hunt after.

Most of their issue were on the D... With a new coordinator there should be improvement. Remains to be seen if their D will be on the same level as their offense.

Again, changing coordinators doesn't automatically make the defense better.

If you watched the cotton bowl, which you probably didn't, you would realize that our D was 1000x better than any other game they played in this year.

We could not be better than we were this year?

We have Knile Davis coming back in 2012. We didn't have Knile Davis in 2011.

Knile Davis coming back will not make us worse.

Knile Davis coming back will likely make us better.

How's that?

Plus, Tyler Wilson, DGB, Dennis Johnson, Cobi Hamilton, Courtney Gardner, et al.

Auburn lost their only good offensive player.

Their QB will still suck, and they still wont have Cam newton.

I think the east will start getting back to decent next year. Georgia is on the upswing. South Carolina will get Latimore back.

I think the Vols will make a step forward next year, but they could also finally crumble i am not sure.

Florida is missing quite a few pieces in my opinion.

Why wouldn't I watch it and what does that show? That, with a month to prepare, you were able to string together a decent defensive performance against Kansas St. Yeah, y'all are awesome.

Our D was better. A lot of people attribute that to Haynes. If you don't, that's ok.

Yeah no shite, even Missouri's "lowly defense" only gave up 24 points to that high school offense in Manhattan. I'd wait to judge arkys new d coordinator on if they can hold bama or lsu to less than 40 next year
