Which SEC football team will backslide the most this season?

Which team and fanbase is in for the biggest letdown this year? We've got new teams, new coaches, new qbs, and new schedules. I dont see everyone in the league maintaining status quo, but who falls the farthest?
My guess: Arkansas. they were in the top ten most of last season, but now have to replace their mastermind HC after an unexpected early exit. They also lost most of their playmakers at WR, but do return Davis.
what does the SECrant think?

I'd have to go with Arkansas for similar reasons. Plus they have always been dilusional so it will make for an even bigger fall.

I would say Auburn. Don't know why, just a feeling.....

I think you would first have to attain lofty expectations before you can have a "backslide".

Ark is probably a good choice, but with decent support Wilson could carry that team a long way.
My pick is LSU.

Honestly, Mizzou.
Their fans seem to have pretty lofty expectations, and looking at their schedule I'm going to say 5-7 or 6-6.

Sports Illustrated, specifically Mandel, picks LSU for this just about every year since Miles has been here. Eventually, he thinks he will be right if he stays consistent

Alabama. A lot of new pieces make me see another 2010 season where they go 9-3.
Runner-Up would be Arkansas or Missouri.

i agree. they have the potential to be very good again. but i also think that losing petrino creates a big hurdle for them to overcome. If they cant, the result could be disatrous

No doubt. I think AU and UF fans enter the season with similar expectations, and neither should be talked about for a "backslide".

If bama only beats an opponent by a mere 6 its a backslide
