Most improved/regressed SEC teams in 2011

Most improved:

Call me a homer, but if LSU's offense gets anywhere above 70th in the country, they should make it to Atlanta for the SECCG..With new OC Steve Kragthorpe in and Crouton out, look for the LSU offense to emphasize power running game with their stable of backs, and only throw occasionally. They will rely on a stingy young defense led by the return of defensive end Sam Montgomery and LB Ryan Baker

Runner up: Georgia

Murray is the best pure pocket passer in the SEC..Expect UGA to beat Boise State in a slugfest in the Georgia dome



Most Regressed:

Auburn

The tigers are expecting a dropoff at QB, and you have to remember that all-world athlete cam Newton made everyone around him better..Emory Blake returns at hideout, but will Barrett Trotted or a young Kiehl Frazier be able to lead the AU offense without some major first time starter pitfalls? I dont see it. They also lose Nick Fairley, a lineman that resembled Glenn Dorsey or Bama's Marcel Darius..they will have to rely on many young guys, and compared to last year, there will be a BIG dropoff in production this year for AU..expect 5-7 to 7-5, compared to a perfect season last year, and AU is easily the team with the biggest win dropoff..

Runner up: Ole Miss..

Expect the black bears to be dead last in an immensely talented SEC west this year..while maybe not a big dropoff, they certainly do not improve at all, especially at quarterback
