And make a run? Right now it’s a crap shoot with a loaded SEC.

The portal has made it harder to know what to expect from everybody.

True but some teams managed their roster well.

I would be surprised if LSU is one of them.

Have to be a team with low expectations. I say Kentucky.

The front half of the Gamecock's schedule is easy. They'll probably be 5-0 before going to LSU in game 6. By then, ol Sellers will have racked up some yards and probably will be garnering some Heisman talk and they will have a mountain of momentum.

They get Bama at home and don't have to play UGA or Texas, so I'd say they got a real shot at the playoffs if they can plug some holes on D.

Check Bobby Petrino’s year 2 stats anywhere he’s ever been.

Louisville added 2 wins over year 1 (11-1)
Arkansas added 3 wins in year 2 (8-5 from 5-5…note in year 3 they won 10j
Missouri State added 3 wins (8-5 from 5-5j

Hogs won 7 last year.

Once his QB understands the offense….it gets good. Not saying Taylen Green does…but if he does…

I will be surprised when Aggie loses by 20 to Notre Dame. Maybe not.

Arkansas has a shot to surprise folks this year. The schedule fricking sucks, but they should be better than people expect.

Good chance LSU has 4, top 15 teams in the first 6 games.

Top 5 Clemson
Florida will be 2-0 and in top 15 game 3
Ole Miss likely 4-0 (if they beat Arky) game 5
South Carolina likely 5-0 for game 6

Do you know that Arkansas is in the SEC? This Arkansas team will not be favored against teams with better talented starting players.

Do you not know how to frickin' read? This thread is about potential teams that will surprise folks. Which means to exceed expectations. Which means to win even though they aren't favored.

Jesus some of these Missouri fans are straight up retarded.
