I think Bama drops in scoring offense rankings this season, leads again in scoring defense and maybe leads in turnover margin again. I can't wait to see this defense this year.

Scoring offense

1. Ole Miss
2. Arkansas
3. Tennessee
4. Alabama
5. Miss St
6. Lsu
7. Texas A&M
8. Auburn
9. Georgia
10. Kentucky
11. Florida
12. South Carolina
13. Vandy
14. Mizzou

I don't know about ranking, but A&M should improve in both statistics. Whether that means moving up or not in the rankings IDK. I would think the offense will take a fairly significant jump. Easily over 30 PPG.

I see us staying near the top in turnovers and top 2 in scoring defense.

Who knows about the offense.

Arkansas will fall to the middle of the pack on offense, and to the top in both of the other categories. Maybe not all the way to the top of the defensive and turnover categories, but in the top 5.

For Arkansas...Vast improvement on the defensive side of the ball with so many returning. Hopefully back to a top 10 national defense on that side of the ball.

Offense I think will be okay because of what pieces are in place around Austin Allen. We should see early on against LaTech and TCU what we have there. Though, TCU has a very stout defense coming back.

Probably at the end of the day will be around top 4 in the league in scoring again, just based on all the skill players that are back and the capability of the running game with Walker and Williams back at RB and the addition of Whaley.

Probably higher. We SHOULD have a more potent rushing attack for a full season (chubb/sony compared to just sony) plus an ACTUAL, real life downfield thread with eason opposed to lambert.

3rd


almost surely worse. Pruitt was awesome and in his 2nd year of the program, now we're breaking in a whole new staff. DL is a big question and we lost our 2 most proven pass rushers.

Expect to drop 4 or 5 spots in offense but go up 5 to 6 spots on the defensive side. TO margin shouldn't change much maybe drop one spot.

Depends on qb play, players understanding the schemes, and injuries on both sides of the ball

I think our defense will move up a spot or 2 and offensive will stay the same or move up one spot. our schedule is easier than last year and we return a lot so I expect to see some improvement. As for turnover margin I think we will be more a aggressive on offense this year so Dobbs will probably throw more picks.

So VOLS and Alabama are the only teams in the top 5 of all three categories? Looks good to me.

I listed conference rankings from last year and asked for opinions where they finish this yr in comparison.

I think we stay about the same in scoring but move up to top 3 in both defensive categories.

Not sure it will change the scoring defense ranking but I expect us to be better defensively. With an experienced QB and a better d, I'd say our turnover margin is much better than last year. Should be right near the top again in scoring o

If Barker is better as they've reported and the WRs are making progress (specifically, not dropping the fricking ball as much) under Hinshaw than I anticipate our scoring offense to be better. I can't tell you how many TD catches were dropped by UK wide receivers last season.

For Tennessee:

Scoring Offense: 1 or 2 (they only lost the LT from last year's offense).

Scoring Defense: 2 or 3 (Return most of last year's defense...Shoop>Jancek)

Turnover Margin: Top 3 (A lot depends on how the safeties develop...could be a special group)
