SEC standing predictions?

[Dddjdd]

Anyone got their predictions for SEC standings this year? I think UGA/Bama/Tx in some order at the top but don’t feel strong about who is right after them. I guess Vandy will be last again.

I think Ole Miss and Mizzou are the favorites to challenge the Bigs, I would put Tennessee in there too except they think they already are a Big.😄 A&M will be over-rated and underperform as usual. The CATS have enough talent, experience and depth to make some serious noise. Other then that I look for more business as usual..

Ya I think I like OM and Mizzou over Tenn too. Kind of sucks the way Mizzou’s nerd coach has them rolling. Tennessee I’ll believe the QB hype when I see it. There are way more hyped up young QBs than actual good ones.

That’s what happens when you have NIL cash. Their state legislature enacted a law that puts their NIL on advantage over schools from other states for Missouri HS players and their fans have ponied up.

6. LSU
7. Tenn
8. A&M
9. UK
10. OU
11. AU
12. UF
13. USCjr.

Heck I know I am crazy. I will go UK in first place and the rest does not matter. lol

No I figured out with UK football to not predict anything, not to expect anything. Now I just enjoy the season and watch it unfold. I think we are top 8 in the SEC though.

 

[Bereacat420]

1) UGA
2)LSU
3)Texas
4)OM
5)Bama
6)OK
7)UK
8)Tenn
9)aTm
10)AU
11)Florida
12)Mizz
13) SC
14) Ark
15)Miss St
16)Vandy

I would bet one of those will be correct

You’re right and it’s helped them get some good in-state guys. But they’ve also got some good out of state guys so maybe just generally deep pockets.

From reports, their fans/boosters have really stepped up and are speculated to be top third in SEC in NIL bag size.

No idea, but Texas seems to have gotten a very manageable schedule for 2024 and 2025. Oklahoma seems to have gotten a very difficult one though.

I'd say uga or Texas win it with my random guess of the day.

Depending on what ranking you look at mizz as the easiest schedule, then it is Tex, Tenn, and Ole Miss. 3 of top teams have the easiest schedules

With 16 teams and an 8 game schedule there won't be clear separation -- a lot of teams with tied records.

As far as I know the SEC still hasn't announced how it will break ties for the championship game if it is necessary. With no divisions and a 12 team CFP what is the point of a championship game anyway? Why not rest your starters if you are about to begin a 12 team playoff?

I agree I see some serous food fights on the horizon with picking two teams with say 11-1 records where A beat B, B beat C and C beat A.
or there were no head to heads, or team A finished 10-2 but beat team B that finished 11-1 but had an easier schedule. A championship game is a really stupid idea and just made for money. And if you have a team like Georgia with a 12-0 record, what do they have to gain by playing in a game like that?
