They're going to have troubles with teams that play excellent defense (Missouri and maybe Florida), and teams that have more prolific offenses than they do (A&M and Alabama).

I think 9-3 is likely. I'm not sure that Missouri has the fire power this year to knock them off but it would not shock me if they managed it either.

Losses to Bama and A&M. They catch the Aggies early in the season when Rumlin is still sober enough to coach all that A&M talent.

Then a loss to one of the rest of the East.

They should be odds on favorite to win the East still, but it is possible they finish second in a tie breaker to an East team that beats them.
