1- Bama.

We return enough with only a few questions. The west will be down next year and we won't be.

2- TAMU. Look, I don't think TAMU is good. But they return more than most and their talent is better than that of most. It's the only reason I have them here right now.

3- From here, to me it's a fricked up situation. Lsu was hit hard by the early entries. Coaches plucked up. But they have the talent (but have always recruited well).

Auburn is in the same boat with KEY players gone.

Ark returns plenty, but they simply sucked. I kinda like the staff, but they will have to coach WAY up to even make a bowl.

Ole Miss had a horrible defense, and not much in passing. I think they can contend for #3 if Kiffin can fix the passing and they find a defense.

Ms St returns alot in comparison and if Leach pulls in via the portal the people they are talking about, I can see them in #3.


BUT, It looks like the East will be the beast in the SEC this year.

Not very smart to put a chip on LSU's shoulder the season after winning a Natty.

AU will be a more talented team on both sides. RBs will be dynamic. OL will actually have some talent. DBs will be tall and athletic. DL will take a step back, but RG is the best DL coach/recruiter in the country and he has stacked talent there.

T-1. Auburn - Returning QB and Kevin Steele. Only one because they've had a defense every year under Steele and Nix should be better. Only team with a Defense and possibly an offense. All depends on Gus being stupid or Nix and Morris being able to overcome him.

T-1. Bama - Lost Tua and their 1 and 3 WRs but has Mac and 2 and 4 WRs returning for some offense. Their Defense don't look to be great next year. Plus a slightly harder schedule than they are used to.

3. LSU - Lost their offense and don't have but one CB worth mentioning on a defense that wasnt great this year. 3rd on just possible amount of athletes.

4. Texas A&M - Only on amount athletes.

5. Ole Miss - Simply because Kiffin might pull out a win or two.

6. State - Unproven coach and not great but should still be better than Arkansas.

7. Arkansas - Still lost and rebuilding with an unproven Coach and little talent.


No one is looking impressive on paper right now.

Have you looked at OM schedule

Baylor, AU, LSU, Bama, FL in the first 7 weeks of the season. Vandy and SE MO are the other two. Starting 2-5 doesn't set up for a 3rd place SEC West finish.

Texas A&M might finish this high for one reason - their schedule. They could easily be 10-0 before wrapping up against LSU and Alabama.

I think Alabama wins the West and LSU is second. The deciding game is a VERY close match when those two teams play. That said, if attrition hits LSU harder than expected, they MIGHT finish behind A&M (despite likely beating them head-to-head).

Eehhh....I think you have to have the data on LSU before making any predictions. Let’s see who they replace Aranda and Brady with and see how signing day ends up.

LSU gets Bama at home. Depending on the above information, I think LSU wins the West by tie break over Bama.

I do think LSU loses at Florida.
