2022 SEC Off Season Thread

[FearlessF]

Soooie!

[Cincydawg]

I like what Pittman is doing at Arkansas, a lot.  I've seen it before.

We could have a UGA-Bama rematch, twice, next year, again.  UGA's schedule:

Oregon (Atlanta) - A testy game to be sure.
Samford - Duh
At South Carolina - Can be tougher than is should be, but nope
Kent State - meh
At Mizzou - probably not
Auburn - I don't think so
Vandy - geesh
Florida - always a question mark of sorts
Tennessee - could be a stumble, but at home
At Miss State - more cowbell, probably not.
At Kentucky - They play tough usually.
Tech - Yech

Only six true home games, two of them pastries, really three with Vandy.

The only team close to them is A&M and they get them at home, Arkansas on the road is a possible stumble.  LSU?  Nah.  I set O/U at 11.5.

I don't see an L other than at Bama likely.

[Cincydawg]

ESPN excited to see Georgia signee duo, sees dominant season from Jalen Carter (247sports.com)


I'm going to be interested in what Arkansas can do after a very nice year.  They get Bama at home this year.  I think they are well coached, the talent level isn't yet near the top though.

[OrangeAfroMan]

Florida doesn't have a fun schedule.

We have Utah and will probably be underdogs for that one.  We get A&M from the West.  

All we can hope for is that Anthony Richardson is actually the video game QB he appeared to be early last year.

[Cincydawg]

Florida will be a mystery out of the gate, definitely some talent on the field as usual, but in the right places and coached up?  Dunno, will improve from last year, duh.  I expect to see more discipline, no thrown shoes etc.  The Vols appear to be on the ups and could beat them.  A&M and Utah very plausible Ls.

LSU who knows about them either?  An 8-4 or 9-3 season seems plausible.  Kentucky?  The rest of the East seems quite weak, meaning Mizzou/USCe/Vandy, FSU seems not back.  

[Cincydawg]

Early opening lines:

Alabama (-31) vs. Utah State
Arkansas (-8) vs. Cincinnati
Florida vs. Utah PICK ‘EM
Georgia (-15) vs. Oregon *in Atlanta
Mississippi State (-11) vs. Memphis
LSU (-3.5) vs. Florida State *in New Orleans

We could have a UGA-Bama rematch, twice, next year, again.  UGA's schedule:

Probably.  The race to and culmination of the CFP has become exceedingly uninteresting

[OrangeAfroMan]

Early opening lines:

Alabama (-31) vs. Utah State
Arkansas (-8) vs. Cincinnati
Florida vs. Utah PICK ‘EM

This tells us all we need to know about the PAC-12.
A top 10, possibly top 5 Utah team goes into the Swamp against an unranked/barely-ranked Florida and it's a toss up game. 

.
That's sad for them.

[Cincydawg]

To be fair, none of the Utes likely have played in a place like The Swamp.

It's probably worth a few points of course.

[OrangeAfroMan]

One has.

LB Mohamoud Diabate transferred from Florida to the Utes.  He's a skinny LB trying to replace Lloyd.
