I'm going with Kentucky. I think Stein is going to be legit and they hauled in some players. This won't be the typical slow-arse smash-mouth Kentucky team from the past couple of years.

My second choice would be MSU. If Lebby can stop making retarded decisions by starting the wrong players, I think they have a chance to pull some upsets.

Sorry Arkansas, I would like to encourage you but I feel like Chad Morris did some blood oath with Satan and your team has been forever cursed through multiple coaches. I'm going to have to see some upward motion before I even consider you having a chance at being decent.

I guess I see Florida's rise as not a surprise. Sumrall is the real deal and he will have them rolling.

I think so too. They have the talent and lost so many close games. Just a change of attitude and system can get them an extra 2-3 wins immediately. Just not sold on their QB

The SEC is going to be very top heavy this season.

L3u will win 8-9 games this year. $70 million dollar roster. Most sought after coach in the nation. National brand.

Huge improvement over 7-6 and a loss bowl game against Houston.

What a dumb comment. You know we didn't. Last years failures we two fold. AWFUL O-line play caused by poor play calling by an over the hill OC. They were in games vs Bama and A&M and pissed both of those games away. You are what your record says you are, but they had no breaks go their way in 2026. Secondly the schedule was brutal. That did them no favors.

Both of those issues have been addressed in 2026. The schedule eases considerably. I'm not saying they are going to the playoffs or anything like that, but they'll be vastly better than last year. Henceforth, they will surprise folks in 2026.
