Trying to think of some non-SEC questions and realize how uninteresting the rest of cfb is
Kingsbury and Tech will upset at least one upset of the four Big 12 favs (TCU 9/12, @OU 10/26, OSU 11/2, @tu 11/28)

someone outside the big 6 winning the SEC. I think USC and A&M both have a solid shot.
SELL. I want to buy of course because I think we are the most likely to break that streak this year but honestly there are probably 5 contenders for the title this year and 3 of them are Big 6. So odds are slightly against it.
The Ags turned the corner and will have a plus turnover margin this year for the first time since 2007 (a pretty amazing stat tbh)
2012 turnover margin per game:
UF: 0
SMU: +1
SCSU: 0
Ark: +3
Miss: -4
La Tech: -2
LSU: -5
Aub: 0
MSU: -1
Bama: +3
SHSU: 0
Miz: +1
OU: 0
Season total: -4

Sell.
I believe the Wrecking Crew will be much improved over last year (which is saying something), and will grab more than their fair share of takeaways , but it's really going to hinge on how well our offense takes care of the ball. I don't think we'll have any turnover shitshows like LSU and Ole Miss from last year, but when you play as fast and throw the ball as much as we do, the likelihood of freak turnovers (i.e., INT off Mike Evans' chest against LSU or the INT in the Cotton Bowl off Malcome Kennedy's hands) is just higher.
Best case scenario, we break even IMO.
Buy/Sell: UTEP keeps it close for 2.5 quarters behind the play of Former Student Jameil Showers

Sell. Showers is an excellent QB but they wont be able to keep up past halftime. It's not his fault though. I dont think he has the weapons around him that it would take to keep it close. I would feel much better right now if he were still on the team, that is for sure.
Buy/Sell: Tennessee finishes with the best record out of the SEC teams with new coaches(Auburn, Arkansas, Kentucky, Tennessee)
Posted on 8/18/13 at 11:03 pm to WhiskerBiscuitSlayer
Buy. I actually have them with the same overall record but UT with a better conference record, so I think that would be a buy.
Buy/Sell: Missouri coach Gary Pinkel will be replaced after this season.

Nice cliffhanger
Here let me help you out:
Buy/Sell: Taylor Bertolet will miss more kicks in 2013 than Billy Kennedy lost games in 2012

Sell.
ME is gonna get his, and will probably lead the team in receiving, but this team just has too may weapons on offense IMO for him to lead the conference. JFF scrambles and the respective performances of The Four Horsemen will chew up yards.
Buy/Sell: Winner of the A&M/Bama game is decided by 2 scores or more.

SELL. I just don't see either team pulling away. And if they do, I fully expect there to be a backdoor cover.
Notre Dame does not make a BCS Bowl
Notre Dame receives an automatic berth if it finishes in the top eight. After the automatic berths have been granted, the remaining berths, known as "at-large" berths, are filled from a pool of teams who are ranked in the top 14 and have at least nine wins

Buy. They have a tough schedule and the fake girlfriend lover is gone as well as a new QB. They have a lot of questions that will probably cost them a few games.
The SEC will have the best winning % this bowl season out of all the conferences
Posted on 8/19/13 at 10:59 am to CGSC Lobotomy
I think Auburn is going to be better than expected and could be a very tough game for us. Have you seen the JUCO game footage of their new starting QB? The guy is a serious dual threat and will give opposing defenses MAJOR problems.

I will buy. Although I am tired of the "we werent really up for playing a game that means nothing" excuses, maybe its just a cover (ie LSU v Clemson)
JFF puts up similar numbers to last year, A&M beats Bama or LSU finishing 11-1 pre bowl games, and JFF isnt a Heisman finalist because of off field incidents

Sell. I don't know if he will be a Heisman finalist or not, but it won't be because of off field issues. I expect all of this JohnnyGate autograph stuff to blow over, so he should be good to go in that regard.
Texas A&M will lead the SEC in total offense again in 2013

BUY. The programs likely to compete for that have better defenses so they likely will have games that they totally shut it down.
There will be no BCS buster in 2013
(ie, all 10 BCS spots will be filled by teams from the BCS conferences + ND - no Boise, NIU, (TCU in past years) etc)
Posted on 8/19/13 at 5:35 pm to tmc94
Sell. I bet Boise rides a week one win against UW to a BCS berth

Gonna have to Sell. There schedule looks pretty clean, barring injuries/suspensions they could easily run the board.
SEC eats itself this year, and major controversy will surround a 1 loss SEC Team playing for the Natty with 2 undefeateds in contention
