    Florida is ranked too high with that defense but, they deserve it for now as defending champs. Tenn will fix that this weekend.

  2. GonzoHog says:

    There are definately some weaknesses, as there should be, aftere replacing all but 2 players on the defensive side this year, but they will improve. How much? Who knows, but probably not enough to win another SEC tital. Watch out for South Carolina, thier ready. Right now, if I had to make a prediction, SC-LSU looks possible for the tital game. The Hogs are still a big ?. Georgia is still a big ? too. Bama will have to wait at least 1 more year to make a major move. Kentucky won't cut it this year either. What happened to Auburn? Weren't they supposed to be better than the Hogs? Tuberville had better get them going, or he'll be on the hot seat before the season is half over.

  3. GonzoHog says:

    Forgot to mention the Vols. I don't see them coming on this year as some would exspect. I think next year will be the year Fulmer will redeem himself, if Ainge stay's healthy, and returns for his Sr. year.
