SEC Prediction Thread

[RetroVK]

5-7 or 6-6 with a surprise both directions

 

[M.W.]

4-8 or 5-7 for Mizzou.

 

[ProV1Colt]

I'm going 3-9 for Mizzu

 

[Jimmydafreak]

10-2

10 & 2 would not shock me at all. Assuming Alabama gets past USC, and I think that's exactly what most people expect - me included - Alabama's season boils down to their four conference road games.

09/17 @ Ole Miss
10/08 @ Arkansas
10/15 @ Tennessee
11/05 @ LSU

Alabama's home conference schedule is pretty much a cake-walk

10/01 Kentucky
10/22 Texas A&M
11/12 Mississippi State
11/26 Auburn

So again, assuming that Alabama gets past USC in their opening game, I think it's safe to pencil Alabama in for four easy conference home wins. The road schedule is brutal, however. It would not be a shock to see them go 2 & 2 in those games, although I think 3 & 1 is more likely with LSU being the biggest threat to put a blemish on the Crimson Tide's record. I like Alabama to beat Tennessee for the simple reason that the Vols will not have a bye week going into this season's matchup, and play Florida, @Georgia & @TAMU leading-up to their home game against Alabama. Alabama's schedule is much softer heading into that matchup.

 

[Jimmydafreak]

As I have already said, I expect Auburn to be a very bad football team this season. They will get obliterated by Clemson on opening day, and I think their only two shots to win conference games is when they host TAMU & Vandy. My official prediction is 5 & 7 with 6 & 6 being the high water mark.

[cubsker]

what a brutal schedule. 9-3 would be a good year, I think.

 

[Grovehard]

Ole Miss 9-3

Ws - Wofford, Bama, UGA ,Memphis, Arkansas, Auburn, GSU, Vandy, State
Ls - FSU, LSU, A&M

If injuries pile up or the new OTs get abused could be 7-5.

 

[gps_3]

9-3 for Ole Miss

Ls : FSU, Alabama, LSU

 

[twinkie13]

grove yall think yall got another one for Bama?

 

[Grovehard]

grove yall think yall got another one for Bama?

Yep, but ask me again after FSU.

 

[RetroVK]

I think the tough part for ole miss is they are replacing really good players and their schedule is front loaded with competition. If you flipped their schedule upside down they would win at least one extra game. But I don't see how they can be gelled enough to beat teams like fsu and bama early. The thing is, the qb position sucks in that conference but not with ole miss. He is good. And that can make up for a lot in the fourth qtr of games.


Tough to predict. I will go 7-5 with 8-4 more likely than 6-6

Listening to Spencer Hall the other day and basically said the same thing, adding that at the end of the season they are going to be a fucking awesome 8-4 team, and some poor 10-2 team is gong to get beaten to a pulp in a Bowl game

 

[Alan Tongue]

How good can a team be playing an SEC schedule, plus FSU, after losing 2 offensive players in the 1st round of the Draft?

They could be 2-5 heading into the Auburn game, but may not lose another game

I can never figure out how much they actually know. I almost enjoy listening to it more during the offseason for this reason

 

[gps_3]

3-9 for South Carolina

 

[cubsker]

I'll say the cocks get to 5-7, maybe 4-8. two autos and they can get a few others vs UK, Vandy, Piss St, Misery, and ECU.

 

[NYGiants25]

ole miss - 9-3 ... we'll beat someone as a dog .. and lose to someone we're favored by DDs ... like our chances against jorja at home (they have Tenny the following week)

south carolina - ill give them 4-8 ... there's enough there for them to stumble into an extra win or two

 

[Grovehard]

USC 5-7

This was my largest future wager so I will give reasoning. I think Mullen will find a good QB, its something he's great at doing and they have a couple very talented guys. I think Nick Fitgerald has a good year. Obv, Jefferson and Brown coming back on defense is huge and Sirmon should do a good well. Interesting that they just added Wyatt Roberts.

Running game wasn't good, but they return everyone. Fred Ross is back to help the QB. I also like Gray and think he has a big year at WR. Experienced OL that added a 4 star JUCO. Front 7 should be pretty good and safety play is very good. Questions at corner for sure. (added 4 star JUCO corner)

Locked up wins vs. South Alabama, UMASS, Samford so they need to find 4 more wins out of:

@LSU
Auburn
@BYU
@Kentucky
Texas A&M
@Bama
Arkansas
@Ole Miss

I will say losses LSU, Bama, Ole Miss.

So need to go 4-2 vs. South Carolina (over a td favorite for me), Auburn (favorite), @BYU (pick em), @Kentucky (favorite), Texas A&M (pick em/slight dog), Arkansas (Pick em)

If they beat South Carolina and Kentucky and split the rest, its 7-5. But, I predict 8-4 with the 3 losses and a loss to BYU, Ark, or A&M.


They also go go 7-1 to start and lose the last 4 to hit the number.

 

[pressitup]

I took Ags O7 @ +105

Knight has looked good in the spring game. Sounds the same so far in fall camp. Who was the last senior QB? McGee? Johnson? so long ago.
Obv Oline questions, but lord the targets on the outside. Another year older and they stayed. WHich is better than prima donna QB's.
Main reason , DEFENSE. Gonna be nasty.

something aint right tho....low number

maybe the best DE(s) and certainly good WRs

are the RBs shitty snd the CBs as well as O line?

 

[pressitup]

The CB's cover , arguably, the best rcvr corps in foots.
The Rb's are good and will be used just slightly more than the TE.

I'm sure it's low because we play in a horrible conference.

Twink, did you see what Von Miller said about his recruitment?

“A&M really wanted me,” Miller says. “You know that girlfriend that’s really not that attractive but she’s going to do everything she can to keep you? That was A&M. . . . That hot chick that just talks to you on Mondays? That was LSU.

It will be the night game of the CBS doubleheader

Ha, I'm off on the 5th. Of course, I do the schedule so...

People can say what they want about the schedule but the three of us have quality opening opponents.
Ole Miss pulls FSU, Aubbie gets Clemson, .

Not a bad opening weekend other than me working on the 9/3

Ags are great at self deprecation.

When you live under "wait until next year" or "we've never lost a game, the time just ran out" you can bring some zingers.

 

[UGA03]

UGA

QB - Kirby is doing what he can to get Eason ready to be the starter. At the closed scrimmage this past Saturday they threw the kitchen sink at Eason to prepare him. They are doing everything they can to get him as close to ready as a true freshman can be to play day 1. Lambert is a statue and scared to death to make a mistake. He was sacked 6-7 times in the scrimmage. Ramsey just doesn't have it between the ears. He is too mistake prone.

RB - Chubb is a just an incredible specimen. He'll play vs UNC. How much like old Chubb is yet to be seen. Sony is closer to being able to play vs UNC as well after forearm surgery. He is ahead of schedule. If both can stay healthy there is no better 1-2 punch. Holyfield will get more carries than people expect and will be a productive back in the mix with them. Douglas or Herrien will get a few carries thrown their way from time-to-time to give those 3 a rest.

WR - Depth issues (reoccurring theme for UGA). Godwin is the #1 and will be a playmaker. There is talent there but inexperienced and young. I'd expect to see a lot of short passes to Isaiah McKenzie to get him in space with the ball in his hand. Reggie Davis is inconsistent and we are all waiting for it to click with him (he's a senior). Chigbu should be the breakout star at WR this year. Lots of young guys need to step up and produce.

OL - Sam Pittman will do great things moving forward for the OL. With that said, lots of shuffling still going on. No consistent 5 right now. Kublanow and Pyke have locked down the C and one OG spots but moving pieces at the other spots. It is not that there isn't talent it's just more of who will be the tackles and who will fall into the other OG spot. Once that is settled this should be a good to above average line. LT will be scary at first especially with the possibility of a true freshman QB behind center. Catalina is a graduate transfer from Rhode Island who could end being a real big surprise for us this year at LT. Wynn will most likely start there but may get bumped to OG once Catalina gets going.

TE - UGA's best position group. Several weapons here and expect to see 3 TEs at times on the field. They will be a mismatch nightmare and will be used to mask the lack of depth/talent at the WR position. Both freshman Nauta and Woerner will get playing time and be effective from day one.

DL - Back to the depth issues. Scariest part of the team. We lack talent and depth. Starting DL is solid but after that it is up to freshman and average players. You don't win games in the SEC without talent here. Some folk are really going to have to step up. This is my biggest concern with this team. Atkins (starting DT) is injured with a hyper-extended knee and I'm concerned he will not play vs UNC. Trent Thompson will become an All-SEC player this year.

ILB - ILBs are young but talented and again will struggle with depth. Roquan Smith and Natrez Patrick are extremely talented but young and need to grow up quickly. It hurts losing Kimbrough last week as he was 1st man off the bench. Reggie Carter will be the breakout star at ILB for UGA. He'll be one of those solid contributors that racks up tackles.

OLB - Bellamy and Carter will be a great 1-2 punch rushing the QB. D'Andre Walker will be the breakout star. He will impress people with his talent and ability to get to the QB. There is depth here but very inexperienced. UGA will need to rely on the OLBs to make up for the lack of pass rush generated by the DL.

DB - Strongest part of the D. UGA had one of the top passing D's in the country last year statistically. The addition of Maurice Smith from Bama sures up the Nickel spot. Mecole Hardman will be the breakout star (true freshman) and will play early and often. The hope is the coverage of the DBs can help the DL out in getting to the QB.

Kicker - I stand corrected. This is the scariest part of the team. FGs are going to be an adventure this year. No sure fire #1. And not because there is competition but because there really isn't anyone. We will most likely rely on a true freshman (Blakenship) which scares the crap out of me.

Punter - Will most likely be Brice Ramsey (back-up QB) again. He was solid last year and has a possible career at the next level as a punter.

Overall this is a 1st year head coach with depth issues on the team. Richt really struggled at creating depth and filling up scholarships. He just would not over sign and we continue to pay for it. Don't expect that to happen with Kirby. There is a lot of positive momentum with UGA right now and recruiting is going great. I like the coaches Kirby brought on as well.

The question mark at QB and the most likely outcome of a true freshman QB will cost us a game or two. The DL will create problems for us on defense and any injuries we suffer on either side of the ball can create a huge issue due to depth. This is an 8-4, 9-3 team with the a 7-5 or 10-2 season possible if certain things happen. Gun to my head 9-3 and I pick that over 8-4 solely because I am a fan.

DB - Strongest part of the D. UGA had one of the top passing D's in the country last year statistically. The addition of Maurice Smith from Bama sures up the Nickel spot. Mecole Hardman will be the breakout star (true freshman) and will play early and often. The hope is the coverage of the DBs can help the DL out in getting to the QB.

Kicker - I stand corrected. This is the scariest part of the team. FGs are going to be an adventure this year. No sure fire #1. And not because there is competition but because there really isn't anyone. We will most likely rely on a true freshman (Blakenship) which scares the crap out of me.

Punter - Will most likely be Brice Ramsey (back-up QB) again. He was solid last year and has a possible career at the next level as a punter.

Overall this is a 1st year head coach with depth issues on the team. Richt really struggled at creating depth and filling up scholarships. He just would not over sign and we continue to pay for it. Don't expect that to happen with Kirby. There is a lot of positive momentum with UGA right now and recruiting is going great. I like the coaches Kirby brought on as well.

The question mark at QB and the most likely outcome of a true freshman QB will cost us a game or two. The DL will create problems for us on defense and any injuries we suffer on either side of the ball can create a huge issue due to depth. This is an 8-4, 9-3 team with the a 7-5 or 10-2 season possible if certain things happen. Gun to my head 9-3 and I pick that over 8-4 solely because I am a fan.

Nice thoughts. If all goes to plan. Who are the 2 losses to?

UGA

QB - Kirby is doing what he can to get Eason ready to be the starter. At the closed scrimmage this past Saturday they threw the kitchen sink at Eason to prepare him. They are doing everything they can to get him as close to ready as a true freshman can be to play day 1. Lambert is a statue and scared to death to make a mistake. He was sacked 6-7 times in the scrimmage. Ramsey just doesn't have it between the ears. He is too mistake prone.

RB - Chubb is a just an incredible specimen. He'll play vs UNC. How much like old Chubb is yet to be seen. Sony is closer to being able to play vs UNC as well after forearm surgery. He is ahead of schedule. If both can stay healthy there is no better 1-2 punch. Holyfield will get more carries than people expect and will be a productive back in the mix with them. Douglas or Herrien will get a few carries thrown their way from time-to-time to give those 3 a rest.

WR - Depth issues (reoccurring theme for UGA). Godwin is the #1 and will be a playmaker. There is talent there but inexperienced and young. I'd expect to see a lot of short passes to Isaiah McKenzie to get him in space with the ball in his hand. Reggie Davis is inconsistent and we are all waiting for it to click with him (he's a senior). Chigbu should be the breakout star at WR this year. Lots of young guys need to step up and produce.

OL - Sam Pittman will do great things moving forward for the OL. With that said, lots of shuffling still going on. No consistent 5 right now. Kublanow and Pyke have locked down the C and one OG spots but moving pieces at the other spots. It is not that there isn't talent it's just more of who will be the tackles and who will fall into the other OG spot. Once that is settled this should be a good to above average line. LT will be scary at first especially with the possibility of a true freshman QB behind center. Catalina is a graduate transfer from Rhode Island who could end being a real big surprise for us this year at LT. Wynn will most likely start there but may get bumped to OG once Catalina gets going.

TE - UGA's best position group. Several weapons here and expect to see 3 TEs at times on the field. They will be a mismatch nightmare and will be used to mask the lack of depth/talent at the WR position. Both freshman Nauta and Woerner will get playing time and be effective from day one.

DL - Back to the depth issues. Scariest part of the team. We lack talent and depth. Starting DL is solid but after that it is up to freshman and average players. You don't win games in the SEC without talent here. Some folk are really going to have to step up. This is my biggest concern with this team. Atkins (starting DT) is injured with a hyper-extended knee and I'm concerned he will not play vs UNC. Trent Thompson will become an All-SEC player this year.

ILB - ILBs are young but talented and again will struggle with depth. Roquan Smith and Natrez Patrick are extremely talented but young and need to grow up quickly. It hurts losing Kimbrough last week as he was 1st man off the bench. Reggie Carter will be the breakout star at ILB for UGA. He'll be one of those solid contributors that racks up tackles.

OLB - Bellamy and Carter will be a great 1-2 punch rushing the QB. D'Andre Walker will be the breakout star. He will impress people with his talent and ability to get to the QB. There is depth here but very inexperienced. UGA will need to rely on the OLBs to make up for the lack of pass rush generated by the DL.

DB - Strongest part of the D. UGA had one of the top passing D's in the country last year statistically. The addition of Maurice Smith from Bama sures up the Nickel spot. Mecole Hardman will be the breakout star (true freshman) and will play early and often. The hope is the coverage of the DBs can help the DL out in getting to the QB.

Excellent post! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Georgia's upcoming game with UNC.

Ole Miss and Tenn. Ole Miss is Eason's first real road test (no offense to Mizzou) and there just isn't any reason Tenn shouldn't win the East this year.

Excellent post! I'm curious to hear your thoughts on Georgia's upcoming game with UNC.

This game could go either way. No chance I would play this one. UGA fans I know are over confident for 3 reasons:

1. They look at UNC as a basketball program and don't realize what Fedora has done.
2. They keep pointing to Marquise Williams being gone. However, Trubisky will end up being more consistent than Williams. The question is can he do it game one.
3. They seem to only think UNC played 2 games last year. SoCar and Baylor. They seem to forget that this team hung around with the eventually #2 team Clemson in the ACC Title game. Bowl games are bowl games and UNC had every opportunity to win that SoCar game.

That UNC OL and Hood will get yards on our DL. I expect their D to be better too with Chizik in year two.

Eason starting as a true frosh scares me. I don't care how good you will be you will struggle at first. Look at Stafford's first season in 2006. He really struggled early on but came on strong to close out the season (beat #5 AU at the time at AU). If Chubb and Sony are healthy than I think we can outscore them with our run game. Either way we have several question marks and I can't lay 3 points on us (Lost my ass in that early season game vs Boise St a few years back in The Dome).

As did I. We got Mark Richted on that one!
