The other thread is about A&M/KU specifically, but let's get some thoughts on if we can actually win this thing for the first time.

2018 Big 12/SEC Challenge (January 27, 2018):

SEC probably significantly favored:
Oklahoma at Alabama
Oklahoma State at Arkansas

Big 12 probably significantly favored:
Georgia at Kansas State
Tennessee at Iowa State
Texas A&M at Kansas

The rest:
Kentucky at West Virginia - Kentucky will probably be significantly better, but road favorite in Morgantown?
Ole Miss at Texas - who knows
Texas Tech at South Carolina - Probably SC favored by a bit?
TCU at Vanderbilt - Probably Vandy since they're at home? This and UF/Baylor seem like the best matchup of the bunch based on how both teams might look next year
Baylor at Florida - Florida will likely be favored here at home, but Baylor is kind of a wildcard for next season

I doubt texas will be as bad as they were last year, ole miss will be an average team again. tu should win.
the rest of the observations look good.

SEC could/should have won last year, there were some good games. Looks like more of the same this year.

Kinda surprised they couldn't get Mizzou in on this thing. There's gonna be a ton of hype surrounding their freshman class.

Can we beat Kansas?

NO

KU is spotted a lot of pts by their officiating at their gym

I think the participating teams are set ahead of time, so that might have happened too late.

It will be interesting to see how that freshman class handles what could be the best SEC in a long time though.
