3. Florida (8-4, 5-3)
I'm not buying these numbers. For starters, I don't think either of these three lose to any of the other four East teams.
So if they all beat each other, Georgia would have to lose at home to Auburn. That ain't happening. Or if Tennessee beats both UF and UGA, UGA still has to lose at home to Auburn.
Feldman just wanted to create a narrative that has Tennessee winning the East with two losses, then tried to build the rest of the standings around that. Tennessee could very well lose to aTm and Bama...but if they lose to UGA, then UGA won't have three conference losses. If UT loses to Florida, the Gators won't have four conference losses. He doesn't say in the article...I would like to know exactly which games he expects those teams to lose to.
He has Kentucky, Vandy, Missouri, and South Carolina with a combined 8 wins, but they only play a combined 6 games against each other. So he is predicting that...
(a) one or two of them beat one or two of the top three, and/or...
(b) the East wins one or two of these games:
KY @ ALA
KY vs. MSU
VU @ AUB
VU vs. OM
MIZZOU @ LSU
MIZZOU vs. ARK
USCe @ MSU
USCe vs. aTm
Which is it?

You'll lose to Tennessee on 9/24, the score will be TN 31- UF 17

Yes. Consider the movie "Twins" starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito. Think of LSU as Arnold, and think of Alabama as Danny.

Its going to be a helluva game, and I just don't see how this veteran team lets another one slip through the cracks....football gods willing!
The problem is your veteran coach.

East looks right to me.

Actually, LSU losing to A&M at the end would make sense. At that point, they would have been undefeated, and guaranteed SEC West Champs. Les would try to rest people for the SECCG. A&M would be going all out considering LSU would be #1 and going for 6-0 vs A&M. I could see it.

are you joking?
will be underdogs to tennessee and lsu and likely lose those two.
@ vandy the week after a likely loss to tennessee is a tough travel spot, against a team with a very good defense.
@ arkansas won't be easy. georgia will have a good defense.
florida could be anywhere from 4-4 to 6-2 in conference, in my opinion. then add on a loss in tallahassee too.

Doesn't look to bad . A lot of people must think the firing of Richt was a great thing to have UGA that high with a rookie head and freshmen QB.

7. South Carolina (4-8, 1-7)
This would be my best guess

Grossly overrated. I see a 9-3 type season. I think the West could be down in 2016, but Bama at 11-1 should be good enough to win the SEC again.

Florida has just as many question marks as UGA. UF ended the season losing 3 of 4 and has major question marks on offense heading into 2016. I get that they lost to 3 top 25 teams, but neither of those games were close, and they barely survived Florida Atlantic in OT. The defense lost 2 of their most productive players (Hargreaves and Bullard). Where exactly is this optimism coming from? UGA fans are expecting 9-3 or 8-4, so I think it’s fair to say that Florida should expect something very similar.

Feldman seems to agree with A&M posters that A&M could show well this season.
9-3 for A&M would take Sumlin off the hot seat and rejuvenate recruiting

Some argue these are good things for Uga, yet you argue otherwise.

I'd have to think so if they went 5-7 and missed a bowl game.
That depends. If Bama goes back to the playoff, the Gus Bus will need 9 wins to stay on the plains.
