Other than Auburn being the favorite I don't know how anybody can pick 2-7 with a straight face.

Au being the favorite is huge leap in faith for them as well. As already mentioned the finished the season losing 4 of the last 5 games. Lost starting QB, RB, WR and a few lineman on offense, lost several good players on defense and will have to learn a whole new scheme with a new coordinator.


My inner homer but still rationale has to say with the talent on roster, incoming talent and coaching staff that Bama has to be the favorite. Even with a q? At QB. Same as last year. Bama won the SEC and made the playoff with Blake Sims at QB, let that sink in some more. The current roster has some highly rated, out of HS, QBs. A lot of talent at WR to take up the slack that Amari is leaving behind, plus the defense will be better this year, especially the CB position. There is a 5* #1 rated player for each position in the secondary. The D will be legit. Then add in Coaching, not much needs to be said, it elite and provem.


After Bama I would say LSU has the next best overall roster, talent wise, then AU.

LSU defense will be very good and if the qb position works out they will be a force.

Au, high hopes at the qb position and it's Gus. He can produce an offense. But that d was shitastic last year. Just not enough talent and time for Boom to get them at the level needed. The following year, look out.

Bama , LSU and Au are the 3 most talented teams in the west. After those 3 the talent level is pretty consistently equal with MSST being at the bottom easily but they have the most experienced and top 3 qb in the league returning. My top based on starine 2 deep talent is

Bama


LSU

Au




Ole Miss/ TAMU

Ark


MSST.
