My hot take for this season: Kentucky finishes #2 in the SEC East behind Georgia.
They have a returning OC Liam Coen that spent a year with the Rams, but was behind a pretty high powered offense 2 seasons ago at Kentucky when they won 10 games. They have a transfer QB Devin Leary that is considered one of the top transfers in the country, that put up big numbers at NC State. Their defense is going to be one of the best defenses in the SEC. They have some weapons on the offensive side that were missing last year, and a good O-line. I'm not expecting them to win the SEC or even make the SEC championship game, but don't sleep on them. They might win a few surprising games.
