Florida - No explanation needed. Will repeat as NC unless somebody proves otherwise.
Alabama - Has to learn to come out and just fucking smash teams. Don't play down to the other team. Offensive line has to get better, and the 3 linebackers playing new positions will have to step it up quick to pick up Hightower's slack.
Auburn - Alot of folks are eating their words about the offense, including myself. Todd looks to be 100% better than last season, but shits the bed from time to time. Depth issues on the defensive side of the ball will cost AU at least two games this season. They give it up like a hooker on the streets in the second half of ballgames, and that will be an issue when AU plays a team that is actually capable of moving the ball on offense (i.e. Arkansas). A team that can get consistant pressure in the pocket will create a huge issue for the offense as well.
LSU - Their number 4 ranking is a complete joke. Outside of Charles Scott and Chad Jones, they have nothing. As I said last week, they are just waiting for somebody to expose them. Had it not been for completely ridiculous playcalling against MSU, that would have been a loss. I see them getting fucked up by UF, a tossup against AU (only because they always play AU so tough), a loss to Alabama, a win over Ole Miss, a loss by at least two scores to Arkansas.
Ole Miss - Good defense, just not sold on the offense though. I don't know how there was so much hype about Snead, and he is proving me right for questioning it. Running game is halfass decent, and thats against inferior opponents. The first time they went up against a decent defense in South Carolina, they lost the game.
Arkansas - They would be very dangerous if they actually had a defense, and a halfass running game. One of the worst defense in the SEC. With no running game, it makes it easy to gameplan to stop the offense. But you're gonna need some horses on your defense to do it. If Mallett can get in any sort of groove, you are fucked. Pressure, pressure, and more pressure is the key to slowing this fucker down.
Georgia - Total rebuilding year on both sides of the ball. Outside of AJ Green, UGA doesn't have shit. Problem is, they need somebody who can get the ball to Green too. I would be shocked if they finished the season above .500, as I predict a loss against UT, UF, AU, and GT. I think the UK game will be a tossup, depending if UK brings their game like they did against Florida or if they bring their game like they did against Alabama.
South Carlolina - No offense, but a good defense. No real weapons.
Kentucky - Same as UGA. They have Randall Cobb, who is better than I originally gave him credit for. Other than that, nothing.
UT - If not for their defense, they would be 1-4. If they had anything resembling a passing game, I think they would have a totally different season. Crompton is a 5th year SR, and is just terrible. The scary thing is? There isn't anybody behind him for next season. Receivers are horrible as well. The rushing game isn't that bad at all. They have a 5th year SR, Hardesty, that is pretty good. Then behind him are a few studs in Oku and Richardson. Last night, watching Kiffin, I saw shades of Shula. He will last probably 3 seasons, and will be gone.
MSU and Vandy - Not even going to waste my time.
