2012 was Missouri's first year in SEC. Five of the SEC teams they played were ranked in the top 10 when the games actually took place. Not preseason rankings.

OU wanted to join the SEC, so put on your big girl panties and quit beeching. I do see how you could be jealous of your bff Texas's easy arse schedule. Its easy to see who Sankey and ESPN favor out of the two of you based on your schedules.

Gators have to beat Miami at home in the opener to have any chance at a bowl game. I'm glad it will be a top 25 win if they do.

I do disagree with you on the “no more undefeated teams” theory though. I think either Iowa State/Oklahoma State and VTech have a shot in the regular season


I am talking SEC. There will not be any undefeated SEC teams - but a 1 loss SEC will be same as 0 in any other conference mostly. The conf teams will get more leeway in playoffs due to schedule difficulty.

But, Texas will beat everyone else on their schedule because its so easy.


They have a very easy schedule but they won some close games against some iffy teams last year.

Hard to know how it will pan out but they do have a favorable setup.

ive been surprised by the preseason rankings for lsu considering what they lost on offense and how terrible they were on defense last season. is the expectation they won't drop off that much on offense and the defense will make massive strides?

If Ole Miss doesn't at least make the 12 team playoff, they might need to just shut the program down. This is the most preseason hype I've ever seen them get.

Ole Miss too high

Swap Tennnee and OU. OU is favored in that game and should win anyways

LSU isn't going to make the college playoff this year. Sorry to burst your bubble.

All-time series
Florida leads, 33–31–3 (3 LSU wins vacated by NCAA)



LSU fans are quick to advise Alabama fans that the 31 on the field victories that the ncaa vacated and forfeited from Alabama records is justified, so you don’t get a break. The ncaa also vacated a Florida SEC title.
