re: Top 3 defenses in the SEC this season?

Alabama is the only easy choice here. There's a handful of teams who could fill the other 2 spots. Georgia has too much to replace on defense and the growing pains will show in the stats.

2. Auburn 3. MSU/LSU/A&M

UGA could end up top 3 depending on how well the new starters perform. Wild cards USC with Muschamp and UF with Grantham
