Too far away to do anything but guess.
I don't think State was very good this year and expect them to be worse next year.
I think BB is a good coach, but trying to beat Saban and Miles at their own game when you have to recruit in Arky is a failure in the making IMO. Plus they do not have the players necessary to run his system yet. I expect Arky to be the worst out of these four teams.
Auburn is severely lacking in talent in some areas, especially defense. If we can hold on to some of these top recruits, it may make the defense decent next year. Need a serviceable QB as well to emerge. The only thing we have going for us is this team was put together for the Malzahn offense and our O-line should continue to improve.
Ole Miss improved a lot this year, but I still feel like they lack the talent to take another big step forward. 2014 could be a big year for them. Also, they were so bad in 2010 and 2011 that I feel like they snuck up on some teams this year.
So if I had to pick today I would say Ole Miss. I am confident it won't be State or Arky though.

Hard to say right now.
I think it's between OM and Auburn. Gus should have Auburn competitive on offense immediately.
I think in time, Arkansas should be good, but I would think that they will try to run a Whisky Style power offense and not sure they have the type players to run it yet. I also think they are very shaky on defense, but a good scheme can work wonders....
I think Mullen's time is gone. No more of Croom's players left. They have four guaranteed non-con game wins, but other than that, probably only have a shot at one SEC game.

For the record, Bielema has said numerous times already that he isn't going to be running the exact same system as at Wisconsin. He knows that we don't have the personnel. That is why he hired Chaney from Tennessee. He has said that he wants a mixture of the Wisconsin offense, the Tennessee offense and some things thatv we have already been doing at Arkansas.
We definitely already have the personnel to run the Tennessee offense as it had a lot of similar traits to what Petrino did here.

I'll go with the darkhorse pick of arkansas. we beat all three of these teams next year.

OM
Arky
Aub
State
We wont have the surprise factor working in our favor but I legitimately feel like we will be much better in all facets. We bring back around 17-18 starters plus will get immediate help from the juco DTs we got coming in, one being Hooks who will be here in Jan.
You never know how thing will unfold but all signs point to us having a solid team next year.

Gotta give the advantage to OM... QB's returning and the game will be played in Oxford... And I am a homer

I think it's between OM and Ark but Vandy deserves to be in the conversation as well. Franklin has Vandy as a threat now.

Without looking at the schedule, State is likely to finish at the top of that pack, on the strength of veteran QB play and a better coach than OM.
Most TD experts are picking State to win between 4 and 6 games next year.
