re: Way, way too early SEC predictions for 2011

East

1. Florida - Driskell comes in as an EE and takes the job in the spring. If Meyer can sell him on running the ball a little then this is a marriage made in heaven. Florida has the pieces just not the system. 10 wins

2. South Carolina - All of the top offensive players are coming back. 10 wins

3. Georgia - Will likely have some new staff members. I can't see them transitioning well enough to be placed better than 3. 8 wins

4. Tennessee - Dooley adds some depth and wins another game. 2012 will be the breakout season. 6 - 7 wins

5. Kentucky -

6. Vanderbilt -

West

1. LSU - Stout defense and enough offensive playmakers to win close games. 11 wins

2. Mississippi State - Almost everybody returning in the second year of a new offense.10 wins

3. Alabama - QB seems to be a question mark and the defense has a ways to go. 9 wins

4. Arkansas - A mystery. Two capable QBs after Mallett, questionable defense. 7-8 wins.

5. Auburn - QB is unknown. Key members of the front 7 on defense leave (Fairley, Carter, Bynes, Stevens). Newton will be gone, a new offensive scheme will be put into place. Toss up between a freshman QB and a JR QB. 5 tough road games.

6. Ole Miss - Sorry guys, just one big mess in oxford right now.
