Auburn fields a strong team as usual, but will never make a real splash in a national sense other than as a possible spoiler. They should finish out the year ranked in the High teens or low 20's with a 9-3 record. Losses to UGA, WVU and someone else along the way.
TN will have a significant drop-off from last year as well and is playing for the Capital One Bowl.
UGA has a very potent team coming abck, but their O-line is getting thin. 1 or 2 season ending injuries already and 2 more suspensions will make each lineman singularly important as the season wears on. Any more injuries and we will start to see a significant drop off in performance.
FL is a question mark. Will Moody be good enough to take pressure off Tebow? Can Tebow stay healthy? Can Harvin stay healthy? Will the embarassingly bad pass and 4th quarter defenses allow FL to win a close game against someone better than Ole Miss?
In the end:
UGA wins the SEC easily with 1 IC loss when no one else has less than 2 or possibly 3. Whether or they goto the NC depends more on the OSU vs USC game than any other game in the country.
