Consensus choices for division winners, overall winner and player of the year. I know…booooring. But would you pick it any differently?
Alabama Florida
Ole Miss South Carolina
Arkansas Tenn
LSU GA
Miss St Vanderbilt
Auburn Kentucky
Florida, Michael Smith, Bobby Petrino
These never work out. That is the most fun to me of the first month of the season, seeing the surprises. I still think Arkansas can be a big surprise. We shall see.
Only Hogballer picked us above Ole Miss. At least there is one fan running this site. The rest of you are Pansy Elitest Punks. Reveal your names like men.
BlowHard…LOL…we can't argue with your logic. However, we remain safely anonymous in our own little witness protection program. Unless, that is, you know how to search on Google.
Tipster, I see you were the only one to rate Ole Miss second. I hope you are wrong. I'd like for HogBaller to be right.
When was the last time Auburn was rated this low going into a season? They have got to be worried. It should be an interesting year as lots of teams are in the middle of change while a few others are rated in places they aren't accustomed too.
West
LSU
Arkansas
Ole Miss
Bama
Auburn
Miss St
East
Florida
South Carolina
Tennessee
Georgia

Champ = LSU
Player = Preacher Man Tebow even though I predict he will be arrested for stealing bibles to give to natives he discovers in the Everglades.
Coach = Steve Spurrier
WEST
LSU…QB is ready. LSU remains loaded.
Arkansas…QB is ready and running game appears to be coming along provided OL shines and provided vast improvement from defense…otherwise flip them down…..Whew! Where is a reliable crystal ball? For sure…Petrino looks VERY confident…so look out! May have a 10-2 coming. Skill to burn on offense!!! Got two quality QBs. Wow!
Ole Miss/Alabama…Ole Miss could surprise but they are short in secondary and possibly O-line and only one quality QB. Defense could be tough if like other teams they remain healthy. ALABAM could surprise but QB is question mark…but if not then flip to the top.
Auburn…who knows? Be careful for they have great talent…Malzahn says he has learned his lesson & will pass and run! WE shall see. Certainly, he has a big up tick in talent to handle which should bode well for AU.
Miss State…Will be interesting and will pull a few surprises.
EAST
Florida…looks invincible but looks can be deceiving. Defense should be over powering and offense excellent if remains healthy. Florida No. 1 overall.
Georgia…I believe QB will do well with all of that talent. Could stumble in Arkansas. I pick an upset in Hogs favor. We owe Georgia a big loss.
South Carolina…May be ready to make some noise but I do not count on it. QB still may be a problem since formerly-Old Ball Coach has had problems getting a good QB since his arrival in SC.
Tennessee…Probably better than this ranking since defense is so good.
Vanderbilt
Kentucky
Note: A listing of how these teams were picked last year would be an interesting topic. And compare where they were at the end would be interesting.
