I'd probably switch 5 and 6 in each division. Not totally sold on A&M being able to repeat/exceed 2012's success, and it wouldn't surprise me to see LSU finish ahead of them despite the fact that the sky is apparently falling in Baton Rouge.
Other than that, looks pretty good. I definitely agree with the East, SCar and UGA will be the major powers and UF will take a step backward.

List looks pretty solid

If A&M can win against Alabama in week 3, the schedule is set up for them to run the table.
-Bye week before Ole Miss
-Bye week before LSU

BCS NC could be, like the 2012 one, an sec vs sec. In that case would it be Alabama vs TAMU next year or will Ohio Atate/Oregon step up. Keep in mind that you include us beating everyone but BAMA.

Honestly I think UK can win a couple of SEC games. They have Missouri, Tennessee, and Miss State. I think Stoops and company will have them playing much better mid way through the season and Kentucky will start to show his style.
With that said, I still think the ceiling for UK next year is 4 wins.

Cannot argue with that although I would probably flip-flop UF and UGA and I would jump Tennessee to just above Vandy.
But as far as the post-season goes if SC makes it to Atlanta next year to face whomever, even Bama, then SC wins that game.
Honestly, and I am trying hard not to be biased here, but SC matches-up very well against Bama next year.

The other schools across the nation would have to shite the bed I think to get an all SEC NCG again. There's too much prjudice to have it again with one loss teams from other conferences. JMO.
I don't know the tie breakers in the SEC yet.
Albama could lose to A&M and beat LSU
A&M could beat Alabam and lose to LSU
LSU beats the Ags, lose to Bama.
I could see all 3 at 11-1
Ole Miss is going to be a wild card in the West. They will give us a game that they could win, and I think the same is true for LSU. I think they get worn out in the 4th qtr against that Bama offense.
Auburn...I just don't know. They've got the talent but they quit this year. I personally think that is a hard mentality to get over.
State has to get it's confidence back inside the SEC.
Arkansas will be adjusting to a new offense. They won't be there this year, but will improve.
SEC West
Bama tie
A&M tie
LSU tie
Ole Miss
Arkansas
State
Auburn
SEC East
Georgia
USC
Florida
Vandy
Mizzou
Ten

Neal Brown, KY's new OC, is a chip off the Hal Mumme block.
Ky. may not win, but their offense should be entertaining. Might even score more points than the Wildcat BB team.

It won't be alabama on top this year. I know they'll be good but when was the last three peat west champ?
With that said I'm not sure what will happen next season, it's way to early to tell. Right now i'll go
aTm
Bama
Arkansas Ole Miss (I think arkansas is the better team out of the two personally but I wasn't all that impressed with the freezus when I went and watched ole miss)
LSU I really wanted to put them higher but the make it tough to do with all the upper class men leadership leaving and no offensive game plan.
Auburn- gus gus can beat mullen
miss state.
East is a crap shoot.

If A&M can win against Alabama in week 3
We return enough experience so everyone will know how to contain JFF.
The secondary will be better.
Your OL will drop off.
Saban doesn't lose revenge games.
We have a bye week before the game.

Hey so how many more games is bama planning on winning against us before they get apathetic and don't prepare properly for the game? I'd really like to sneak a win at some point.

As a LSu fan, I would sign for 9 and 3 and a Cotton Bowl berth right now. Esp with no one coming back

Good assessment. Just a couple of changes:
LSU and A&M both go 10-2 with LSU beating A&M in Baton Rouge. LSU will lose to Georgia and possibly Ole Miss or Alabama. LSU will be better than people think next year. The talent is all there in ridiculous ways. 16 true freshman played A LOT of minutes. The team will have to come together, but with 10 of 11 offensive starters returning, I expect more consistency from that side of the ball.
Alabama will lose one game.
Tennessee goes at least 6-6. A new coach will inject some life there.
Otherwise, spot on.

that's about where I have you guys. It's way to early to know though. I mean arkansas has barely started processing kids. Who knows what these teams will look like by the time september rolls around.

This isn't totally out of the question, esp. considering the offensive questions going into 2013. Hopefully, the incoming freshman can contribute. Im general, I like our RBs, but the WR corps needs to step up.
The defense, despite the losses, should still be good.

If we go to the outback again just kill me.
97-outback (UW)
99-outback (PU)
03-capone (PU)
04-outback (UW)
08-capone (MSU)
11-outback (MSU)
12-capone (NU)
Can you tell I'm tired of playing in those bowls, against wisconsin, purdue, and MSU? At least last week we got to play nebraksa for a change.

Of course you would. Mind telling me why?
UF next year looks to have an atrocious offense and a pretty good defense.
UGA will have maybe the best offense in all of America and a questionable defense.
And, according to you, our schedule sucks. So why would we fall to 3rd in the division?
