While I find the event pretty boring it's arrival means that football is right around the corner. So in celebration of that fact let's talk 2018 season. Lemme see your predictions so we can all tell each other how wrong & dumb we are

How do the SEC rankings shake out?
Top offensive & defensive players in conference?
Biggest surprise?
Biggest disappointment?
Whose your breakout star pick for AU?
What gets complained about the most this season on this board?

It's almost that time....

How do the SEC rankings shake out?
East: UGA, USC, UF, Mizzou, UK, UT, Vandy
West: UA, AU, MSU, A&M, Ark, LSU, OM

Top offensive & defensive players in conference?
Offense: Locke just based off the numbers he will put up.
Defense: I think Simmons for MSU will have a really strong season.

Biggest surprise?
USC giving UGA a run for their money.

Biggest disappointment?
Bama v UGA SECCG

Whose your breakout star pick for AU?
Asa Martin/Boobie Whitlow

What gets complained about the most this season on this board?
Gus ends up rotating RBs too much and our 1000 yard rusher streak is broken.

I don't follow the whole SEC close enough in the offseason to speak to the other teams, so I'll stick to AU.

Offense: Stidham
Defense: Derick Brown

Biggest surprise?
Has to be USC if they end up winning the East. I'm hoping they pull the upset early in the season at home against UGA. If that happens and we beat UGA, no way they lose 3 other conference games.

Biggest disappointment?
MSU or UGA. Just based on their expectations and where I predict them to finish in the standings.

Whose your breakout star pick for AU?
Has to be which ever RB leads the way. I think Kam Martin has a solid season, but I think Boobie ends up being the 1k rusher of the two.

What gets complained about the most this season on this board?
Probably o-line or WR development. Definitely something related to the offense, after winning a close slug fest to UW or LSU.

Is USC really supposed to be that good? There are a lot of big time predictions for them this year. Seems maybe Muschamp can coach after all?

I'm a little surprised at well in confidence in Gamecocks. Curious how much of that is hate for UGA or legit belief SCAR will be good this year

I think they will be the clear #2 in the east this year. They have a QB and I trust Muschamp to have their defense playing well.

West: UAT/AU - A&M LSU MsST OM ARK ...Hopeful it might come down to head to head tie breaker going our way.

East: UF - UGA SCAR MsZ UT UK Vandy ... Expecting law of averages to strike at Georgia, because it also takes luck to finish out strong. And Muschamp seems to be a champ HC in name only.)

Top offensive & defensive players in conference? Tua (spelling?) starting off, but he may well kill himself going superman because of trying to stay ahead of Hurts. So in end D'Andre Swift on offense and Cece Jefferson on D (playing in weaker side of conference might make him look even more dominant.)

Biggest surprise - Florida. Mullen's never had this type of program before and he'll have nearly a month before any real test.

Biggest disappointment - UT.

Whose your breakout star pick for AU? Arryn Siposs

What gets complained about the most this season on this board? Me: Gus being Gus and not letting his staff do enough of what it's paid to do. Everyone else: that damn whirlybird.

I like their future with Mullen, I'm just not sure he has the QB right now. Once he gets a year to work his magic they will be tough.

Recruiting is still going to be tough with Miami and Richt and FSU doing well. Tons of players to pick from but Mullen is going to have to give them a reason to pick UF again

What year is it? They went 7-6 last year and are breaking in a new coach just like UF.

UF won’t ever have trouble recruiting
