Honest answer, I think it is USCe. Not happy about it because I've always loved Spurrier.
Would also add that it could be any of us. There are a lot of question marks to be answered going in to fall camp.

Can it really be USCe when they're not predicted to do all that well. Aren't they 5th in the East preseason?

UGA typically finishes close to where they started... So saying they are an easy pick to fall hard, is actually a really bad pick.

I think a more interesting question would be which fanbase will feel the most let down by their team this year. It's a much more tricky question to answer because you would need to factor in the level of delusion that particular fanbase exhibits. For example, I think an LSU team that finished unranked would still be perceived as less disappointing than, say, an Auburn team that lost 3 and ended in the poll teens.

But to answer your question, I think LSU and Ole Miss will end the season unranked. I think Alabama could fail to make the playoff and lose as many as 3 games, but I don't think that would cause them to fall out of the top10

Have to imagine it'll be one of those top 3 in the West.

Weird seeing LSU unranked at the end of last season. They're just currently one of those teams that should seemingly be Top25 at all times with the talent they bring in. Looking at the list for this year, I'd probably go with Ole Miss.

Multiple 10+ wins seasons, stumbled last year, and I feel the rug will be pulled out this year. You don't have to be at the top to fall hard.
There are 2 teams in the west that aren't in the top 25 preseason polls, they could still fall hard as well.

Texas A&M finishes unranked (6-6) without their HC and OC. They got Chavis though.

We are not in the top 25. Why are you obsessed?

So LSU returns 8 starters on offense and 8 on defense from the second most talented roster in the SEC, with a weak OOC schedule and drawing two teams from the east who are "down", but will finish unranked? OK...

Auburn

Not feeling the hype for them at all.


Have you heard about the Jeramy Johnson guy?

Even though they aren't ranked...A&M. I think they become the victim of the brutal SEC West. I just don't think it is sustainable to have all 7 teams bowl eligible every year.

Bama and Auburn have the top talent/schemes. LSU is still good (although without a QB won't go far), Miss St has the Dak, Arkansas is trending up (and will continue to do so IMO). So for this year, I think Ole Miss and A&M struggle...but come next season, definitely Miss St.
