IMHO having Auburn and Stidham at four is way too low. I believe he is the best qb in the league. Tua has a chance but one half isn't enough to over vote Stidham.

Also Alabama at seven for wrs is way too low. The three freshman from last year are back and all are excellent. They couldn't help it that Hurts could not get the ball to them. They are as good as anybody in the league sans maybe Ole Miss.

Thirdly, Alabama has already lost two lbs for the season. Ergo they are overrated considerably. The starters are very good but the depth is not there.
i agree on all counts.
on qb's, i won't argue lock over stidham, but those should be 1/2, imo. with uga/msu/bama in 3-5 in some order. i believe tua can be tops this season, but i also think we're WAAAYYYYYY over hyping him. i doubt he'll completely bust like au's johnson, but i doubt he will win secpoy either, much less heisman. i could also see any of the other qb's listed going off and running away with it. good year for sec qbs.
like you said, bama wr's at 7 is way off. top 3, imo. espcially if tua is half as good as projected, they'll put up some numbers.
lb are thin, but our starters are as talented as anyone. sans anymore injuries, i think this will be a strength for bama d.
one area you didn't touch on and where i think we're overranked is secondary. i don't think we're gonna be bad relative to the rest of cfb, but it will be worst secondary since maybe saban first season here. still likely top 25-30 in pass d, but not lights out like most years.
good list, mdt.

man, y'all hatin' on Tennessee....

they're gonna win it ALL. Book it.  

Sometimes I miss crunch for the optimism (or.. maybe more accurately: insanity). 

now in all honesty- it pains me that the remaining SEC folks are reasonable and rational- as there isn't a lot to argue about here.  there was a time not long ago even the reasonable and rational could argue- as the components of teams was relatively close - but that isn't anymore, huh?

Why don't you go get Crunch? I sure would like to hear some positive info on Tennessee. Drew, you need him for positive reinforcement.

i'm not sure it's positive reinforcement as much as it is blindly running into mine-laden, barbed wire fenced, ww1 no-man's-land being battered by shells, only a orange crayons in hand (cause those taste the best), in pitch dark with a 8k lumen torch strapped to a selfie pole and pointing back at himself while singing rocky top at the top of his lungs.

1.  They have a new coach.
2.  They are apt to win a conference game this year, at least one.
3.

The great thing about the weeks leading up to the season is that everyone’s still undefeated and even national championship contenders in the minds of the delusional. There are so many unknowns right now that such a list above is beyond a waste of time to generate.

However, that is a large part of what we do around here, speculate on who is going to do what.  

Most of us understand we are speculating, on the basis of things like recruiting, who played last year to some degree, who left, coaching, etc.

I think it is not without merit to note that Vanderbilt is unlikely to win the conference.

The Auburn Tigers were 5-5-1 in 1992.

In 1993 they were 11-0.

UT’s record in 2017 was 4-8.
Their 2018 record will be 13-0.

Why? According to Lanny Davis they have the nations best coaching staff, top 3 QB in the nation, 5th best running back tandem in the nation, top 4 best OL in the nation, top 8 best WR corp in the nation, top 10 DL in the nation, top 2 LB corp in the nation, and top 5 DB’s in the nation. All they have to do now is get on the field and prove it. Y’all will see soon enough.  :72:

Are they not going to show up to the playoffs and just anoint themselves National champions after the SEC Championship game?

Why not. Georgia fans think they’ve already won the NC. Bama thinks they’ve already won the NC. I guess everyone else should just cancel their season so that the inbred toothless ones and the anointed butt sniffers can play for the championship tomorrow.

I guess they won't be 13-0 anyway.

It's fine to be an optimist.
