One week out from start of season - predict final standings of the SEC...

[Gator Fever]

Let's see how good your early predictions are without seeing these teams in action. What their SEC standings in the division will be.

My prediction:

SEC East

1. Georgia ( I hate this one but have a feeling we will win the head to head but end up 6-2 in the SEC while Georgia goes 7-1 with that favorable schedule they have).
2. Florida
3. Kentucky
4. Missouri
5. Tennessee
6. South Carolina
7. Vanderbilt

SEC West:

1. Texas A&M (Bama has to lose every few years - I think it might happen here).
2. Bama ( Might still get a playoff spot if other contenders aren't all undefeated or 1 loss conference champions).
3. LSU
4. Ole Miss
5. Auburn
6. Miss State
7. Arkansas

A&M beats Georgia in SECCG.

 

[Gator Fever]

Just to add I think we lose to Bama and one of these 3 teams - LSU, KY or Missouri. We end up 10-2 overall pre-bowl.

 

[PacoGator19]

I think we beat UGA but not sure we win the East. UGAs SEC schedule is very favorable. I’d swap Missouri and UK in the East and I’d swap Bama and A&M in the West. Bama still too much talent. I’m not sure what A&M has at QB.

Yep for A&M to pull it off that young QB will have to be good by the time that game comes around.

A&M beats Georgia in SECCG.

My head says one thing and my heart another.

My head says we have an untested QB and unproven WR's, with a line that has been consistently mediocre, and that we have a defense that was absolutely horrific last year, and is fundamentally unsound in concept. My heart says GO GATORS! (OK, my head says that too, but along with the other stuff).

Head says we lose to Bama, LSU and Georgia, and either UK or Missou, to go 4-4 in conference and finish 3rd behind UGa and either UK or Mizzou, depending on who beats us. Non conference I am not 100% convinced we beat FSU.

My heart says 15-0 National Champs. My heart isn't very bright, but it's in the right place, and I really want it to be right, but sadly, it never is.

So I'm going the ol' brainpan and saying 4-4 in the SEC and 3rd in the East. The offense simply won't be able to overcome the defense.

If we can't beat FSU there will be a total meltdown even if we still went 9-3.

 

[PacoGator19]

I think we go 10-2 or 9-3. We lose 2-3 of these games (Bama, UGA, LSU, Missouri). We will beat FSU pretty bad again.

 

[Nicktheslick]

Sorry fsunumbers and other Nole fans on here but there ain’t no way we’re losing to FSU in the swamp this year.

 

[Dannygator1989]

TAMU isn't beating Bama after that idiot toddler there said (in confidence) that they were going to beat Saban.

Sure. Give them any reason to get up and beat you like the moron you are, baby Jimbo.

also. If we go 4-4, I will find that liberal douche and have strong words with him after many drinks.

Douchebag.

I wasn't the one who chose to bring back Grantham, that was Mullen, and

As I've said repeatedly, I want to be wrong on this. I just don't think I am.

If u lose to us, i feel bad for you. We cant block UF. UF can easily block us, we dont an equalizer (playmaker), and we have no depth. Literally everything would have to go wrong for u to lose to us. Unless your QB just cant complete a pass (i know hes struggled some) i just dont believe it will be close.

I can see a scenario where high expectations end in bitter disappointment and we are just playing out the string. See Gator baseball for an example. I don't think this happens, in fact I find it highly unlikely, but I think it is possible.

If I had to predict things now:

SEC East

As of right now

1. Georgia (7-1) It sucks catching Bama screwed us as far as winning the SEC East but maybe we can help keep Georgia out of the playoff.

2. Kentucky (6-2) I think they might lose to either Miss State or Tennessee after Georgia.

3. Florida (6-2) Hopeful we can win the next 2 games.

4. Tennessee (4-4) Is this team's offense since our game for real? I guess the Ole Miss game this week will answer that. They also get Bama and KY right after that and technically control their SEC destiny. If they keep the offense going some I am thinking that coach may be a decent hire after all.

5. Missouri (2-6) Look pretty bad right now. Might not make a bowl game.

6. South Carolina (1-7) Better beat Vandy this week if they want an SEC win. No bowl game.

7. Vanderbilt (0-8) Can they hang with SC this week and get an SEC win?

SEC West:

1. Bama (7-1) Could someone else beat them?

2. Ole Miss (5-3) Still a possibility for the SECCG but thinking they will lose a couple more.

3. A&M (5-3) Probably will lose @Ole Miss.

4. Arkansas (4-4) Play Auburn this week.

5. Auburn (4-4) Bo Nix....

6. Miss State (3-5) Gets them to 6 wins for a bowl game

7. LSU (2-6) Would have to upset us to have a chance for a bowl game probably.

This last game was the first time I've been impressed with our team in 2 years. We didn't turn the ball over, we created turnovers, we had low number of penalties, and we ran the ball. Jordan Travis only had to throw about 15 times and he did well because they were so scared of the run. We played a perfect game......and only won by 10 lol to a team that made a ton of mistakes. We are terrible.

But how do they finish in the SEC. 🤣

Just kidding FSU numbers. I can understand your enthusiasm after a good weekend.

Hasn't been much winning lately in tally... gotta live it up while I can

Just for fun, I have to highlight this post. Blind squirrel found nut.

This didn't age well.

 

[PacoGator19]

I have to admit I was shocked A&M beat Bama. A&M hadn’t played good at all up to that game, especially on offense. They lost their starting QB in Game 1 and the backup had been anemic all year. So that was a shocking result to me based on prior games.

I certainly don’t feel bad for Bama but they get everyone’s best game.

how was I suppose to know that the million dollar quarterback would throw a dozen passes into the dirt?

Its like the Spanish Inquisition. You don't expect it.

I don’t think the Bama QB was the problem. It was the Bama D that couldn’t stop what had been an anemic A&M offense with a backup QB.

He was suddenly being touted as the Heisman favorite. That’s probably over now. He’s not quite what they’ve had the last few years.

 

[PacoGator19]

He’s pretty good. What they have had the last few years are guys that are currently starting in the NFL so that is hard to replace. He’s just a sophomore and already has 20 TD passes with a 174 QB rating.

Didn't Mac Jones have a few struggles when he stepped in for Tua? Then last year happened.
