SEC Football Bright Spots this Fall

[57stratdawg]

Am I the only one not really seeing any? I'd imaging Tenn and Bama are the clear cut favs in each division. Behind them, who knows?

Auburn - QB issues. Clemson OOC
LSU - QB issues. New DC. Several returning starters though
OM - Best QB in the league. Lose 3 first rounders, Core, Walton, Elston. FSU OOC.
UGA - New coach. Freshman QB?
Ark - New QB, issues on D, losing RBs
MSU - Replace Dak. Defensive overhaul
Florida - QB issues.
South Car - Sucks
Vandy - Sucks
Missouri - New HC. Who knows.
UK - Who knows? Maybe a bowl team.

There's alot of pressure on Stumblin. They probably have the 3rd most talented roster this year, but what can they get out of the QB transfer? Can he stay healthy? They need a 10 win season.

The SEC has some big matchups OOC week 1:

Clemson @ Auburn
OM vs FSU
LSU vs Wisconsin
Bama vs USC
TAM vs UCLA

I could see 1-4 in those games easier than 4-1.

You lost me at "Tenn".

I hear we have a solid Punter.

 

[57stratdawg]

Surprised you made it that far. You'll get there - maybe.

On your request, I tried to continue. I kept looking for whether "Tenn" was going to have an "interim coach". No such luck.

But maybe my definition of "clear cut fav" is more Bama than Tenn. I won't hold that against you since you love you some TN.**

Dave Aranda is a huge upgrade for LSU over Kevin Steele. I could see that being similar to how Bob Stoops got a bump with bringing in Lincoln Riley as Oklahoma's OC.

LSU plays a potentially very average Wisconsin team and has Bama at home.

How does Kevin Steele keep getting DC jobs?

Clemson lost 9 players to the NFL draft. They'll have an awful lot of holes to fill by their first game. It will be more competitive than you're thinking.

 

[57stratdawg]

Maybe, but they have the likely Heisman front runner. I'm sure that spread will be 10+.

Auburn's D should be pretty solid upfront though.

Could be a crazy year in the SEC West.

I think more like 3-2 with the first two in your list being the losses.

Are they (Clemson) blatantly cheating too?
