Ole Miss, Arkansas, or A&M- who will win the SEC first?

Of the three mediocre programs with potential to break through, who will finally ever get it done? All three teams haven't had any sustained national prominence since the 1960's and all have had a season or two lately where it looks like they could be respected for more than just one good season of play.
South Carolina used to be in this predicament, but they have had continual seasons of solid play and contention and have competed for the East regularly over the last few years.... who will it be from the West?
A&M seems to have the most potential, but if they couldn't even get to the championship game with JFF, I don't expect them to turn the corner without him. Ole Miss has spurts of a good team every few years or so, but does nothing to capitalize on them. Arkansas seems perennially mired in potential rather than results. Who is ever going to step up and win the SEC or at least the West?

Ole Miss has won the SEC 6 times.

So almost only counts if you are USCe

Out of those three? Probably A&M.

Does it hurt you to know that all three of these teams will beat yours this season?

A&M, they'll luck into one in a down year for the West simply on talent (they also have the best current coach of the 3), then Arkansas... some nutball fan will buy them their Cam Newton and company, they'll win the title and everyone will bitch about cheating (they'll probably get caught too because Jerry Jones or someone will openly brag about handing over a suitcase of cash)... Ole Miss ain't winning crap unless we turn back time, the karmic debt has yet to be paid-- post-integration Kentucky has more SEC title than Ole Miss.

In SEC Championship Games
Arkansas 0-3
Ole Miss 0-0
Texas A&M 0-0
The only thing that has kept Arkansas from winning the championship is defense. We've lead the league in scoring and offense many, many times in the past.
Coach B is building Arkansas just like a business. From the foundation (linemen) up. History shows if Arkansas gets a defense we will eventually win it. Our running game is always stupid good for the past decades. There is a reason ESPN ranked us Running Back U. Heck, we aren't even talking about the All-American's from the 70's, 80', 90's, just 2000's on.
What is surprising is how has USC-E not won it with so much stability over the years? I wish Arkansas could have half the stability!

A&M…this could happen in the next few years the others….probably not for a while
Posted on 8/23/14 at 6:37 pm to BigAppleTiger
We've already won it 6 times

If two SEC teams happen to be in any playoff, I could see any of these three teams winning a national championship before they win an SEC title.

Direct correlation to university and budget size. So A&M, Ark, then OM. This is the most likely scenario.
