The 3 most interesting SEC teams this year IMO

Tennessee
OU
A&M
I've heard tons of insider interviews and podcasts and these 3 teams I've heard anywhere predictions anywhere from 11 wins to 8 wins. I think all could be in the playoff if things fall right.
Tennessee/OU play early, and I think OU will dominate that game and have the upper hand. I also like OU to beat Bama and Mizzou and losing 1 or 2 to either Ole Miss or LSU. I think they could go 11-1 or 10-2
A&M could be favored in all 12 games (they are -2.5 against ND) and have all their tough games at home, so they easily could go 11-1 or 10-2. I don't think they have top 3 SEC talent, but this is their easiest schedule in years.
Tennessee i have losing to OU early and they might get beat by NC State. NC is a surprise team this year. If Bama beats them, they will be out of the race by mid Oct.
In order, the best chance to make the playoffs are A&M, OU, and Tenn.
OU
A&M

OU schedule is brutal. They have a good team but will struggle just bc of how tough that schedule is. Same goes for Florida.

I don't see Bama falling off with DeBoer.
They'll be super interesting with the new regime.

Good choices on the original 3. I think you would have been more accurate on the playoff chances to stck with the original order. I think Tennessee is at worst a 2 loss playoff team.

Pretty sure Tennessee's worst is more than two losses. 1998 was the last time Tenner had less than two losses.

Our worst is 8-4. That would be a huge disappointment and call a lot of things into question, but there are certainly four loseable games on the schedule. 9-3/10-2 is the more realistic scenario.

I don’t think NC State can keep up with our speed or handle our defensive front. OU will be a big challenge for us but they’ve got question marks as well. Florida scares me because they always seem to play their absolute best against us. They always seem to be good for two or three half assed performances but it’s never against us. Maybe we should tell them they playing in Kentucky

Ole Miss intrigues me more than any team for the fact that they went to the bank for portal players and everyone will be watching to see how those players changed their team.
I think it was a great move with The guys they already had in place.
Will be even more fun to watch to see if they will be as aggressive in the next two years.

NC State has some good players and they will have drilled on that Tennessee game all off-season long. I don't think Vols lose, but NC State is going to come out looking for a fight I assure you.

I'm interested to see how Alabama fares post-Saban.

Sorry OU fans. You're officially fricked now.

LSU- Nuss has shown flashes of greatness, solid cast of characters around him.
UTk - Nico, will he live up to the hype?
UF- How long does Billy make it?

Ole Miss- will they likely choke?
Bama-life after Saban. Prob 2 losses but maybe just 1.
Mizz- Can Drink follow up that nice season
Honorable mention:
LSU-Can BK win a season opener

A&Ms defense will be elite. Their offense will struggle based on practice reports. OL is average, WRs can’t catch a cold, Weigman is clearly the only consistent player throughout practice.
Will win games at home lose on the road.

I think Aggy is the surprise team in the SEC this year. Weigman will be a junior and it starts at qb. Elko seems like a better fit in CS. He won't give titillating interviews, but he won't throw his players under the bus either.

I don't think Elko likes being in the spotlight. He is a lot like Mike Gundy in that respect.

Auburn is my sleeper. 4 light games before OU. I don’t see them getting past UGA, but they may play them tight.

A&M opening the season vs Notre Dame should be a great game.

I think A&M whips ND. Spread keeps favoring A&M, it will be 120 on the field and ND has lost 3 starters to injury this fall.
