LSU will be fine, except on 3rd down. Great hire by the head man in Tiger Town. Consistant top 5 defenses will bread down there with all the athletes they get.
An off season wont change Auburn so expect about the same. Take thier season last year and take it a small step forward. I just dont see them having the personel just yet to run a spread type offense. In my personal opinion they need to get back to the roots that made them good, power football.
We on the other hand, can hit max at 8 wins, with a shocker in the mix. Which will be a great turn around to the dismal season we had last year. Glad to see weve gotten back to true UT football, Line em up and run the ball. Dont get me wrong the "spread" is nice but you cant beat power football in my opinion.
Clemson should be better with K. Steele runin the show on D. Doesent have the same number of athletes but Clemson gets its fair share so I fully expect them to be right in the thick of things in a very short time under the new coaching staff.
Now on to the Champs, with an in house staff member taking over the reins as OC I really dont expect anything different from them. Those that believe they wont miss a beat with out Harvin are in denial. Harvin was their team in some games last year and they looked lost without him at times during the season. Sure ill give credit where its due, Demps and Reiny are good but lets be honest they are no Harvin. I expect them to make it to the SECCG with one loss.
As much as I hate it, I see LSU and Florida in the SECCG with Florida winning and moving on to play Texas in the Championship game. Dreams go up in smoke, as Tebow watches McCoy score on the final drive to win the NC. HOOK EM HORNS!
