The best of the worst.

Think I'd put us at 7 or 8, but doesn't seem too far off.

'bout right

LSU

Well, they have the best QB in the conference, huge transfer portal class, and had some pretty significant injuries in 2024. I'd expect them to be much better and compete for the conference next year.

And he's an lsu homer that wants BK gone

He's not an LSU homer.

He's a Vol or Georgia fan. Cannot remember the exact one. Maybe Vol.

He does like stirring the pot and setting up certain scenarios to troll fan bases.

His predicted records next year have LSU at 8-4. A&M 9-3. Like I said he throws things out to mess with fan bases. Gators 8-4.

He also has USC and Auburn at 10-2 so our home schedule next year is turning out better than any of us first thought.

No idea why this guy and his 'cousin' are internet mouthpieces. He gets airtime w BL and sort of unbelievable hot air from all. He was burnt on being pro-A&M winning for latter part of the year as he kept prognositicating we'd do better than we did and thought tu would be a house of cards.

Like Desmond who took a chance on maroon koolaide a couple years ago, he learned not to drink it now and that we are losing more than gaining (esp on DL). Regardless of what folks state, sched is harder next year and on paper, SEC teams have improved their rosters (HS recruits and Txfr) better than we have at the moment (esp. Aub).

Vandy of the West. Oof.

got them, right where we want them, we perform better when expectations are low

That's the opposite of a goal. Practically self-loathing like BAS.

Well, this guy is a self-admitted idiot. So there's that

He's just butt hurt that he rode the A&M bandwagon to the grave this year.

He'll be back once we start winning.

I don't think Nuss will be the best QB in the SEC in '25.

Is the guy that slams his fist on desks still their coach?

Lagway beat Nuss this year. Pavia is better than Nuss as well.

I discounted this as soon as I saw a playoff team at 8. And a 4 loss Alabama at 4. And a crap LSU team at 3. This guy is a buffoon.

Complete guesswork for next year and like most lists, will have multiple teams way off from where they end up. A nothing burger. And I'd be saying this if he ranked us #3.

Does he have a list from last year? Interested to see how it compares to what actually happened.

Found his 2024 SEC media days prediction. Pretty much got us correct - had us at 8, we finished 7. He got Georgia at 1, had tu at 4.

Big misses: Ole Miss (+6), Missouri (+6), Oklahoma (+6), S. Carolina (-8)

Maybe he saw our bowl game.

Can't argue with that.

We'd be #3-5 if we just had a legit QB.

A guess is a guess. It's both right and wrong, or neither.

LSU is high because of returners.

We are in the correct spot. I would move FL one spot below A&M. Everything else looks right.

LSU returns less than we do, which is why they are taking a bigger portal class.

Exactly

Are they losing their entire O line?

That would be Auburn. 2nd place aint all that bad, though.

Well, ..... actually would be a bit underperforming since many on this forum swear we have four All-SEC type receivers from the portal, plus the next Mike Evans.

WOW
Kentucky is 15
They must have a really ****ty coach!

I am not surprised that Michael Bratton put us at No. 10. He must have noticed how we lost our last 3 SEC games and last 4 Power 4 games. I would put us at No. 7 or 8 because we beat Florida on the road, something LSU and Ole Miss couldn't do.

Next year, we will have a tougher home/away split because our toughest games against Notre Dame, LSU, Missouri, and Texas will all be on the road instead of at home. We will play a true road game at Arkansas for the first time since 2013 and at LSU the very next week. Also, our schedule is very unbalanced with 3 straight SEC home games (Auburn on 9/27, Mississippi State on 10/4, and Florida on 10/11) before a stretch of 3 SEC road games in 4 weeks (Arkansas on 10/18, LSU on 10/25, 2nd bye week, and Missouri on 11/8). With that schedule, I think we will have a floor of 7-5 (4-4 SEC) and a ceiling of 9-3 (6-2 SEC) with likely road losses at Notre Dame, LSU, and Texas.

I am not surprised that Kentucky is ranked 15th because they finished 4-8, 1-7 SEC and 1-8 against Power 4 teams. Only Mississippi State finished with a worse record 2-10 (0-8 SEC), including an embarrassing 41-17 home loss to Toledo.
