Time to Predict SEC Finishing Order

I say that the SECG will be the usual match up.. "O" Bama vs. gators.....

We may play well this year, but I think our loss to LSU will eliminate us from the SECGT and boost Florida in it again.
I understand it would be great to appear in the SECG but I would hate to be dominated by "O" Bama for a second time this season.
I was watching the last years game and in the 4th quarter, "O" Bama 40 & Florida 16. Still had most of the 4th quarter to play, so it was a blow out.

I thought the SEC was weaker last year, and I think the trend continues this year. I think Alabama is slightly weaker but it doesn't matter much. Every other team to me is pretty much weaker this year other than Auburn and Arkansas and possibly Georgia. LSU is about even-steven but it will be interesting to see what the new OC can do with the personnel.

- Crap shoot between Florida, Georgia and Tennessee in the East. If I had to pick a team, probably Georgia.

- Alabama in the West until proven otherwise.

What a pathetic fanbase we got.

I promise you won't see posters on UGA's fan forums making threads about the order of finish in the East this year and them not picking their team to win it.

Either have faith in your program winning or don't post FILTH like this.

Why is it filth unless it's pumped with sunshine and fairy dust?

We get it you think they Vols are bullet proof. Most of us however aren't expecting to get over the hump with some many new pieces on both sides of the ball. Did I mention we just lost our QB on D? In the end the Vols have more than one mountain to climb in street shoes..

The West is hard to predict annually because all 7 teams are top 15 or 20 every year as far as who they could realistically beat. I mean Omiss,Ark,Ms St,and A&M would beat anyone in nation besides maybe Ohio St,USC,Fl St,and maybe 1 or 2 others. They would possibly beat all these any given year. I believe Bama is due bad luck and lack of motivation one time. We see something new:
#1 AUB

#7 Omiss

Says the quitter that trashed everything Tennessee last year, and then vanished.

Your opinion is meaningless to any fan, real or otherwise...

Oh my, I love your wish list! However, that's about all it is. The schedule is really packed against Tenn. Do you really think UT can make such a HUGE gain??

Where do you all think the SEC teams will finish in each division? Where will UT finish? Here are my lousy sure-to-be-wrong predictions!


SEC East

3. South Carolina. South Carolina’s offense looks surprisingly good right now. Jake Bentley has emerged as a legit QB and SCe has a stable of top-notch Wide Receivers. Steve Spurrier may have resigned abruptly after a disappointing season in 2015, but he did leave a lot of good in place for Muschamp. Muschamp is also rather conveniently known as a guy that can mold top-notch defenses. Overall, I think it’s a recipe for success. South Carolina is definitely in the conversation for most underrated SEC team this preseason. I’d consider SCe a good dark horse candidate to win the SEC East; underestimate them at your own peril.

Well, you weren't too off-target in your prediction, but how you formed it was quite a bit. For starters - "Steve Spurrier may have resigned abruptly after a disappointing season in 2015, but he did leave a lot of good in place for Muschamp":

Uhh, no. No, he didn't. Spurrier seemed to be intent on leaving the program in the same shape it was in when first took it over - with a distinct void in talent. He started the disassembling well before he chose to quit mid-season: IMO after USC won their first 11-win season, that was when Spurrier started kicking back and looking towards retirement, and riding the gravy train to its completion, or only as far as everyone stayed on the high the 11 win seasons gave them, and then jump the tracks at the first scent of community concern over what the hell he was doing.

He had quality talent on the roster that still had seasons after that 2011 season, and got two more 11-win seasons out of them, but that was that. In 2014 - the season Post-Clowney - the first glimpse of just how unplugged Spurrier's staff had become, was when then-DC Lorenzo Ward proclaimed in the off-season that USC's defense would be as much if not more a 3-4 scheme than the base 4-3 it had been for years, due to the fact that the roster had a plethora of LBs, but was suddenly somehow DL-poor. He would then proceed to sign up for seminars on how to coach a 3-4 defense, since he had never really done it before. Ward was South Carolina's top recruiter for the defense....

Muschamp took over a Gamecock program that went 3-9 the previous season: had the 12th-ranked SEC Scoring Offense and 11th Total Offense, and was dead last in the SEC in both Scoring Defense and Total Defense. That was what Spurrier left Muschamp.

He started rebuilding the program by playing the guys he and his staff brought into the program. The skill players on offense were all underclassmen his staff mostly brought in: Dowdle, Edwards, Bentley, the Smiths. Samuels was a Spurrier product. Hurst broke out as a TE under Muschamp.

On defense was more of the same. Skai Moore, Allen-Williams, and Fenton were holdovers from the previous regime. But others such as Wonnum, King, Brunson, Thomas are all Muschamp products.

Muschamp has improved the defense into a top 5-6 SEC defense, and they are in solid position to improve even more next season. The offense has the bigger question regarding USC finding a competent OC that will fully utilize the (now) experienced talent at his disposal. He needs to be able to develop the QBs (Roper failed at this), and the OL needs also to continue to solidify, but there's definite talent there. Because of all the youth being played, all WRs and RBs again return for the 3rd straight season, to go along with Bentley.

The OL lose two OL plus a veteran reserve, but those weren't the most consistent, and they already have possible replacements that have played due to injuries over the past 2 seasons. The depth behind the projected starters will have very little game experience however...

Georgia is losing a roster full of seniors. Also losing several assistant coaches. Also their schedule will be more difficult next season. For instance. Florida Wii be improved and Tennessee will be improved.

As well as 1 or 2 key juniors on their defense to boot....
