Georgia won’t win the SEC East, and neither will Missouri. Tennessee will. This is a major leap of … well, I wouldn’t call it faith, seeing as how the Volunteers still have everything to prove. Call it a considered guess. I’ve liked what I’ve seen of Butch Jones’ fixing-upping, and I thought Tennessee did well to bleed a bowl appearance out of a season that saw them face five Top 25 teams (and lose to all five). With South Carolina receding and Florida restarting, there’s room to move in this division. And Mizzou can’t win the thing every year, can it?

Georgia will go 8-4. I’m always accused of overrating the Bulldogs, and sometimes the accusation holds water. But I have real doubts about this season. Over Mark Richt’s 14 seasons in Athens, teams working with a new quarterback have averaged 3.8 regular-season losses. (Richt’s teams with an incumbent have averaged 2.1.) Most of those new quarterbacks — David Greene, D.J. Shockley, Matthew Stafford and Aaron Murray — were a cut above any on this roster, and coordinator Mike Bobo isn’t around to smooth the kinks. I see Georgia losing to Tennessee, Alabama and Auburn — and to someone else simply because Georgia under Richt always loses a game it shouldn’t. But I do think Georgia will beat Tech.

If we make the SECCG, I think we'd have a pretty good chance of actually coming home with some hardware (unlike Mizzou that seemed like a sacrificial lamb in 2013 and 2014).

By December, the freshmen like Kirkland Jr., Tuttle, McKenzie, and Richmond should be playing pretty damn well. Roster would be nearly on par with just about any team in the West save for Alabama, and I don't see us losing to them twice in the same season (provided they get the expected win in T-Town).

Honestly, I think Alabama has more holes to fill and question marks than Auburn. JMO.

I wouldn't be surprised by a 9-3 year from Bama.

I think there will be some incredible parity in the West this year, with MSU being the only team not fighting for the division in November.

Wouldn't surprise me at all if there's a crazy tiebreaker scenario where one 9-3 West team makes it to the SECCG. Not sure any of them will win 10+ regular season. Just a tough, tough division this year.

There are a lot of SEC teams breaking in new/inexperienced QBs this year. I think this is one area that we have a decisive advantage.

Who cares????? Tell them to stop us. And deal with our Front four on defense(Barnett, KMack, Tuttle, and Phillips) plus depth. Who cares who we play again? :)

Personally I'd rather play a team that we have a better chance of winning against but that's just me.

Cat, shake the pessimism… We will have a fair to good chance to win every game we play in from here on out, as long as we keep recruiting at this level.

The 2014 class is going to be downright dominant by 2016. Most of those guys will have nearly 30 starts under their belt by the time we hit conference play. They will essentially be seniors with the amount of experience they'll have.
