That's about right for us. I could actually see us ending up 5th behind Arkansas.

I would probably have Ole Miss second ahead of A&M. Aggies lost a whole lot too.

It's very good news that we don't play Florida or Vandy, although that road trip to SC may really suck. We make up for it by getting Tennessee, Kentucky, Auburn, and Bama all at home.

Last year we had an emerging Hudson and a proven commodity in Sexton. This year we have an emerging Pilkington and proven commodities in the pen with Rigby/Smith. Bullpen emerged in 2016, so for 2017 to be similar we've got to find that second starter. Coaches are just going on the sure bets, and I can't blame them.

 

[Cow College]

so who was the bright individual that voted us to win the SEC last year?

Exactly my question

Cohen?

 

[BiscuitEater]

so who was the bright individual that voted us to win the SEC last year?

Clarification. Those votes are for 'Who will win the East/West Division.' Thus, there are 14 SEC coaches and 28 votes.
