1: Bama, Saban has proven he doesn't need anything more than average QB play to win a national title let alone the SEC West.
2: Auburn, they upgrade their talent in several areas but the odds of it being enough to offset all those breaks they are unlikely to get again is minimal.
3: LSU, winner of the A&M/LSU game decides third place. Can't pick A&M until we prove it, John Chevis is the master of spread offenses.
4: A&M, see above.
5: Ole Miss, I predicated their win over LSU last year and I'll predict they beat at least two of the four teams I have ahead of them this year. I also predict they lose at least one game that we all laugh hysterically at.
6: MSU, I'm not buying the Dak Prescott hype. A&M had the worst defense in the history of history last year and all he really did was break a few nice runs against us. If he is what MSU fans make him out to be, they could be dangerous.
7: Arkansas, their offseason motto is "We almost beat LSU in the last game". That should tell you all you need to know. 0-16 through two years until proven otherwise for Bielema.

True, but Wallace has hit his ceiling IMO. He just didn't improve all that much from 2012 to 2013 (his rating was actually lower in 2013, though he threw fewer picks).
Ole Miss had incredible talent at several positions, but they also have arguably the worst talent in the west at several others. They are maybe the most top-heavy team in the league next year, and I just don't think they are good enough across the board to do more than play spoiler. They are good enough to beat anyone on a given day, but consistently they will inevitably turn the ball over at crucial times or their defense wont be able to stop someone.
