re: Way early SEC West prediction:

1&2 - LSU/Bama - whoever wins H2H
3 - Ole Miss
4 - Auburn
5 - Miss St
6 - A&M
7 - Arkansas

Both LSU and Bama will have a new QB, but both teams have proven in the past that they don't have to have a superstar at QB to win consistently(See: JJ, Lee, McElroy, JPW, list goes on). They're both going to have stout defenses and be able to run the ball with stacked backfields. Wild card here is that both have to play UF this year and I expect UF to be more like 2011 than last year with a chance to knock off either one, but I still think both LSU and Bama beat them H2H in tight games.

Auburn snuck up on a lot of people last year and got all the breaks in the world (See: tipped pass against UGA, 109 yard FG return, last minute TD against MSU, etc), and I don't see them replicating that this year. Will they be a good team? Yes, but will they win 11+ games? Not in my opinion. Probably 9 wins.

Ole Miss has some star power and is on the right track, but I still don't think they are quite there yet. Probably another 8 or so win season.

MSU should be improved, but there is too much talent at the 4 schools listed above them. I think they have a legit shot to beat Ole Miss or Auburn, but don't think they can beat LSU or Bama. 7 or 8 wins.

A&M, let's face it. JFF ain't there, Evans ain't there, and they don't play defense. 5-7 wins.

Arkansas still sucks. Bert might find a way to win an SEC game or two, but that's it. Wouldn't be surprised to see them go 0-8 in the conference again.

don't see a Winston at QB or a 6'6" WR on Auburn's SEC schedule this year.

We have Coker who barely got beat out by Winston.

You want a 6'6" WR? How about a 6'6" TE who can outrun the LSU secondary and an OC who knows how to use him?


Prepare Uranus.

Incoming? No contest. I think y'all got that locked down. I mean they were the 1 RB and 1 WR last cycle no?

Fournette has a chance to be the best back in the league next year.

Jury is still out on Dupre, he needs a quarterback to get him the ball.

I'm thinking I got best RB & WR in the SEC and best incoming RB& WR in the SEC mixed up. I don't think the latter is much of a stretch.

Speedy Noil is the best incoming WR in the whole country, not just the SEC.
