If I had to disagree, I'd disagree with Cal at 10-2 (4th in the P10 is likely), NC State, Virginia, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Florida, and Auburn.

Overall, though, I think your predictions look very promising.

i don't really agree with all of it, but very impressive that you got all that done........:salute:

as for the rest of the SEC teams in bowls I see it as followed

Liberty Bowl: UGA vs. Southern Miss
Independence Bowl: Kentucky vs. Kansas State
Music City Bowl: South Carolina vs. Maryland

Florida State is going to be very good, and Miami will be close to 10 wins. Some people don't think outside of the box.

I think we've already covered this before, but there is no chance Tennessee goes 11-1 with all of the holes that we have going into this season.

They both have loads of talent and speed. I'm afraid Bobby Bowden wants to go out on a high note and his team knows it. Miami will probably sputter early but once they catch on to the new coaches they could also be very tough late in the season when it counts.

I think Oklahoma will beat Texas this year... I honestly think they have a good shot at going undefeated.

i think FSU rebounds quite nicely this year. Miami, you're right about the coaching change, but they did hire from w/in, so the change probably won't be that dramatic.

i honestly can't see either of them repeating their performances from a year ago.

One question.
You have Tennessee losing only to Flordia.
You have Arkansas losing to Alabama. Auburn,USC-east and LSU.

Who wins the Tennessee - Arkansas Game?
my money is on the Vols.
