I'll take Missouri. They got screwed with the injury bug last year.

Ole Miss technically, but Aubie should be a lot better. They have the talent, it's just a matter of getting the coaches to develop them properly.

I think we will have a pretty good year. Better than last year at least.

I really think Auburn is going to be improved. I think Gus knows what he's doing and he certainly brought in the talent, especially on the d-line. Comes down to how well he takes control of the mindset of that locker room and how much the players buy in

Yes, I'll take Auburn right now. Especially if Nick Marshall is as good as Gus thinks.

I would go with Auburn just because of the type of year they had in 2012.

I think Ole Miss will continue to get better.

I expect considerable improvement from all if those except Mizzou. I think the most improved will be Auburn and Arkansas. Ole Miss will probably end with a better record than both of them but Auburn and Arkansas will be more improved because they have a lot more to improve on.

This is where Gus rattles off his Terry Bowden-esque 22 game winning streak.

My pick is the piggies...not sure if AU can make the jump in 2013 and the wide open offense that Gus likes to run is not happening yet and it wont lead to any title run...must have defense first mindset. Moo State goes down some...UT is going to hold water for 1 year and Mizzou is a question mark. Vandy will snag someone in an upset ( you listening UGA? ).

Arkie will improve and it will be a slight bump with a bowl game reward...2014?

The biggest improvement will go to the team that runs the football the best.

With Malzahn coming back... the question is will he have a QB that can effectively run the offense?

2009 Auburn 24 rushing TDs. 4th in conference
2010 Auburn 41 rushing TDs. 1st in conference
2011 Auburn 20 rushing TDs. 6th in conference
2012 Auburn 16 rushing TDs. 11th in conference.

Auburn was 8-5 in 2009 and 2011 with Malzahn calling the plays.
I think Missouri can get 8 wins with their schedule. Unless Auburn can really get the run game going, I'll say Missouri is the most improved team.

Auburn is my pick. Chris Low made some good points on the radio today. Even though they didn't look like it last season, their talent level is not that far behind the top teams in the conference. One of the many issues last season was the lack of an offensive identity and Gus should have that fixed right away.

Anyone but Auburn. I enjoy low expectations.
