Outlook: The SEC will likely put 7 teams in the Top 25 this season making it the toughest conference in America. Alabama may look more flashy but I like LSU to win the SEC. Jordan Jefferson will continue to improve in his senior season making a dangerous passing game. With a loaded defense Alabama will shut down opponents. Linebacker Dont'a Hightower and defensive backs Mark Barron, Dre Kirkpatrick, Robert Lester and Courtney Upshaw making the secondary scary. Auburn losses a lot of talent but is hoping new Barrett Trotter and returning sophomore Michael Dyer. Mississippi State may end up being a dangerous team down south. Back Vick Ballard and cornerback Corey Broomfield will keep the Bulldogs strong. Steve Spurrier believes he has one of his top teams at South Carolina. Stephen Garcia is improving and wide out Alshon Jeffrey has fantastic hands. Ryan Mallet is gone but Arkansas isn't dead. They have great receivers for new quarterback Tyler Wilson to throw too. Florida has pyschical new coach Will Muschamp who will make the team a Top 25 contender. Georgia returns sophomore Aaron Murray, tight end Orson Charles and they have a solid special teams.Tennessee has another strong team this season but it will be tough to contend. With ten starters back on defense Kentucky should have another strong season. Ole Miss returns running back Brandon Bolden and has a fantastic offensive line. Vanderbilt has a solid defense and will try to salvage this season.
