Your poll is ok .I do believe UGA with 3 Ls would be ranked about sixth in the SEC but four Ls would drop them. UGA going to be a 3 loss team at least and maybe 4 losses. Better times are ahead for UGA next year or the following.

UT ahead of LSU? A&M will finish higher, UK & Vandy could be placed higher than Miss State. Mizzou definitely a rung or two higher on the ladder.

Dont fret better times are ahead of you...and Smart will get the defense stout once again.

UF will finish higher than people think...most are predicting lower because of the last half of 2015 and thats a mistake...Treon isnt our QB and the OL has more experience now. Del Rio will slice and dice and our run game will be improved with a JUCO transfer Mark Thompson running over folks...we will also have the same type defense and our special teams will be the best in the SEC.

Why do Florida fans have so much faith in Del Rio?

It blows me away how MSU, a team in the toughest division in college football, who's only had 1 recruiting class outside of the top 30 since 2011, with head coach who's proven himself as a decent talent developer, can be ranked outside of the top 50. I know we're MSU.. But damn. We might be one of the most disrespected programs in college football.

I think we have a lot of faith because Treon's not starting.

Del Rio may be average or worse, but its hard to imagine worse QB play than what we've seen lately.

You will always be MSU. You will not be a top 25 team in 2016.

Oh and one more thing you may not be concurring.

You are and always will be MSU.

Because he's not Treon. And he looked good in the Spring.

So basically every single phase of UF's game will be better this year? Seems a little optimistic.

If UF has another 8 win season, I wonder if everyone will lighten up on Treon. He seems to be the explanation for every UF deficiency from 2H 2015.

Not the only reason, but yes the single biggest reason. The defense gave up against FSU, Bama, and Michigan after halftime.

When you have WRs and TEs running wide open and your QB can't hit them, yes thats a big problem.

Of course, the injury bug hit the OL too and UF was starting a Fordham transfer, who had no chance vs the edge rushers for those 3 teams.

I think its fair to assume the offense will be a little better, because it cant be worse.

Special teams SHOULD be better because we have someone who can finally kick.

Defense may take a step back, but if the offense is better, this should balance out.

UF still has a lot of talent all over the place. Inexperienced talent on offense, but it is there. And really the schedule isn't that bad. People are underestimating UF this year because of the bad finish.

All while Auburn is staring down the barrel at a 3 game losing streak to MSU. Very, very impressive.

That I can understand. It just seems like most of Gatornation thinks he's going to be more like Tebow and less like Treon.

Hey bruh, one more thing, we are MSU and we'll beat Auburn for the 4th time in 5 years. It's people like you that are clueless to what's coming. I'm not saying we're a 10 win team but we will be in the middle of the SEC West. This is the most talented team Mullen has had in Starkville. If he gets adequate to good QB play, which he has been known to get, yeah, watch out.

I tend to agree. In DCBL's poll I would put Ole miss at 4, Florida at 5 and UGA at 6th.

It's funny cause State has whooped that arse the couple past years and probably going to do it again this year. Auburn isn't a top 40 team. You know it's going to be bad when you got a surfer as a qb. Your beloved Johnson can't even make the 2 deep roster.
