Probably ran the stats for the last 5 years through a super computer to come up with a special formula in order to fill up the page.

I don't think you can pick an east frontrunner. 5 teams could win it next season

VOLS in bottom half of the east.
Bama wins west even if we lose to AU.

The most boring list ever.

Winner of UGA-FL game wins the East.

Winner of Bama-AU game wins the West.


Making a prediction of who wins each of those games is futile.

Fuzzy math, how does UGA + UF = 5

Florida is overrated

Georgia is the favorite IMO but they have a couple of question marks that could be potential weaknesses (OL, progression of Eason)

South Carolina with Bentley and Kentucky are both better than people think and could capitalize if UF and UGA fall apart.


I guess he's counting Tennessee as #5, but I just don't see that under any circumstances

Thank you BowlJackson for giving MSU more credit than Phil Steele does.

Lindy's, Steele, all of the major predictors say Florida.

You are definitely being hyped.

You may not like it, but it is true.

Y'all are being hyped as favorites to win the East by a lot of people.

Y'all have a good defense, but unless Zaire or Franks gives y'all some really QB play then I just don't know about yall. Y'all won the East basically by default the last 2 years. Nobody was really impressed with those teams, but for some reason now that's the basis of picking yall to win again.

With the right breaks I could see y'all finishing as high as 3rd. No way in hell do I see y'all finishing 7th or under Ole Miss.

If y'all had more weapons for Fitzgerald to work with then I'd feel confident putting y'all at that 3 or 4 spot.
