I'd load up on UGA at those numbers.

UK and VU's odds should be higher, especially VU. Seriously, only 35-1?

Nothing like confidence but I see about 5 losses from UF's D if Moss and Siler don't come out early.

On O, you'll lose Leak in favor of Tebow who did well as a spot player but will face an entirely different scenario next year. You guys probably think this is a wash or an upgrade but it probably isn't.

Additionally, you lose 3 of your 4 best WR's and still won't have a RB unless it is a Freshman.

The offense showed up in a couple of games but UF's defense made the season for them and the D front made the defense. You lose 4 of 7 and possibly as bad as 6 of 7.

I'd say in the east UT, UF, and UGA are close though I think UT's returnees gives them a little advantage. UGA loses players off both lines leaving them unpredictable.

One additional advantage for UT is that they don't play Auburn or LSU next year. Arkansas appears to be self-destructing. So Bama could be UT's only real challenger from the west.

UF has Aub/LSU on consecutive Saturdays following UT and Ole Miss. UGA has Auburn and plays at UT.

USC and UK follow with a slugger's chance of sneaking in if UF, UT, and UGA do each other damage. Vandy has no chance.

I think the champion is whoever wins the east. Auburn has offensive issues that aren't going away as they lose 4 OL's, their best RB, and best WR. Arkansas has had Jr defections to the NFL plus Sr losses plus dissention.

LSU will be talent rich but lost Russell, Bowe, Davis, Vincet, and, most importantly, Fisher. On D they lose several defensive starters including 3 of 4 DB's. Miles is probably about to be exposed. He hid behind Fisher and Pelini for a couple of years. Now we'll see if he can actually coach.

My sleeper in the SEC is Kentucky. Right now, I have them finishing in 3rd in the SEC. They probably have the best QB/RB/WR in the SEC. Woodson/Little/Burton...that is sick.

But I think Arkansas has a lot better chance in the west than LSU and Auburn. LSU lost their Off. Cord. and maybe their Def. Cord. lost JR, 2 running backs, Bowe, Davis, Landury, most of their DL. Auburn lost a lot of their defense, lost their star running back (but Brad Lester will be good) and they have nothing at all at WR

Any bookmaker setting vandy at 35-1 would be in danger of losing a house. I'll take a stab at the SECE.
UF 9-5
UT 3-1
UGA 3-1
SC 9-1
KY 30-1
Vandy 75-1

Can you name one of their defensive starters?

Third in the SEC, or third in the East?

Probably not this year. We might contend with Auburn and or Arkansas for the west. Expect LSU to have a huge drop off. I just want the Auburn monkey off of our backs before it turns into a gorilla and chokes us to death.

So the guy that got run out of Knoxville for being the worst offensive mind in D1 is now responsible for the best QB/RB/WR combo in the SEC?!?

I don't think so.

A little more on UF's chances. Again a reminder that defense did it for them this year.

ESPN.com - NCF - Caldwell to stay at Florida; Moss, Smith to enter draft

Moss and DB Ryan Smith are coming out. WR Caldwell is staying. Siler, Harvey, and Nelson are yet to announce but the article says Nelson has already decided to go pro.

This brings the total starter loss for UF's defense to 8. If Siler and Harvey come out, their lone returning starter will be the Safety Joiner.

I'd say these losses drop their chances significantly. If they end up with only one returning defensive starter, they should finish 3rd at best.

Maybe it was the QB material Sanders had to work with for most of his tenure... ahem, Clausens or maybe a combination thereof.

In actuality, I don't know if anyone who ever said Sanders wasn't a good QB coach. He was just over his head as an OC. I kind of hope Cut will take a look at that and his own success as an OC and failings as a HC then stay for the long haul.

Micah Johnson will be in the NFL in two years.

That does not mean Kentucky will contend for the division, although they were better than I expected this year.

Ohio State replaced 9 defensive starters and had a pretty good season.

The didn't lose their starting QB, RB, and best WR.

That's not to belittle Florida--they will fill those holes with talent--but they will be inexperience at key positions on offense as well.

Ohio State didn't play in the SEC. In fact, the only reason they finished undefeated is that they played what turned out to be a weak schedule. Tex wasn't very good and they caught them early to boot. Mich was exposed by USC. More than half their conference opponents were down from what they've been.

UF will have a couple of really lame warm up games then the shock of playing the Vols to start an SEC schedule loaded with quality offenses. UK moved the ball on UF this year. They could rip them next year.

After the Vols, they play Ole Miss then Auburn and LSU in consecutive weeks. They have an off week then play UGA then Vandy followed by Spurrier in Columbia. FSU should be vastly improved over last year on offense.

Bottom line is that they won't play a two game schedule like OSU did. Their schedule has several weaklings (wonder how incidental that was) with Flor Atlantic, W Kentucky, and Troy. OSU didn't play that many really bad teams... they just didn't play as many really good teams.

I just looked at the depth chart on Rivals for UF on D. If they lose Harvey, Siler, and Nelson not only will they be inexperienced but also thin. Zook's last class wasn't very good and while Meyer has drawn great offensive talent they haven't done very good at all defensively.

Take a look for yourself. They're in worse shape than UT was last year by far.

Just keeps getting better. Nelson and Siler announced they're coming out today. UF is down to 2 returning defensive starters with Harvey still to announce his decision.
