re: The Real Question is: Who Will Win the East in 2014? Mizzou or Georgia?

I really have no idea how good USC is going to be next year. Offensively, they're stacked at the line and skill positions. I like Thompson for who he is, but they have to install a different offense for him. That said, I'm not convinced he'll be the starter by season's end.

As far as defense is concerned, I expect USC to be strong on D-line, again, and rock-solid at the second level. If the secondary, which is scary young, can figure it out, the team is a formidable contender.

I like that we get UGA and Mizzou at home, but I'm assuming a loss at the Barn.

All of this to say that USC could win it, or be a step or two behind. Dunno.
