Man I Luv SEC football, just all out raw, smash mouth action! It's really hard to say who will end up in the SEC CG, lol,! Very excited about our new family members, Missouri and Texas A&M but some quick advice to their fan bases, PLEASE do not overlook Ole Miss, and Kentucky, and especially Tenn, Vandy, Miss State! Y'all will see what I mean, but WELCOME TO THE SEC!

Go Gamecocks. I'd really like to see Tennessee rebound and have a decent season. SEC is far and away the best college football, I look forward to another National Championship.

Yes man the SEC is stacked top to bottom! JMO, SC the best in the east, I said it last year and ill stick with it and I'm a Gator fan! Tenn will be tough! LOL, last yr I predicted LSU to be there and the same with Auburn but after I saw the classes that's coming in man I'm just going to watch, you never know what teams will be in the SEC CG, it's tough man!

This is going to be a tough year for any SEC, but my money's on Alabama. They lost players, but it doesn't matter; they just reload. They lost players in 2010, too, and they could have competed for the national title if they hadn't had mental lapses in two of their games. They just didn't seem to have the same fire that they had that previous year or the year after, but this could easily be a 3-peat national title winner. I think whatever they lost, they'll quickly regain.

LSU looks to be competitive, too. It's going to be interesting to see if they can mentally recover from that beat-down they took in front of a national audience, though. I have to wonder. Moreover, it's rare that a rookie QB can come in and just throw the ball down the field and fit into a system in his first season. It usually takes a year, and maybe even two before the QB has full command of the offense. I think they'll be competitive, as they usually have been, but Alabama's just bigger and better at whatever LSU tries to do. Not by much, but by just enough.

Not sure about Auburn or Arkansas. I'm curious to see Georgia, though. I think they were a team that was starting to put some of the pieces together toward the end of the season but were too young and maybe needed another recruiting season to get it right.

You right man, Bama just reloaded, they running game will be tough! I think that defense will be just as nasty! I think Auburn will be good and Arkansas defense will be on point! Man you never know Arky can win the west, it's crazy lol, its a tough call, cause all these teams stacked! LSU is raw, that defense will be real mean!

SEC should pick up VT from the ACC, who are ripe for a raid.

I have to agree with you, Tech will be a great addition, also bring in a huge market!

The acc is a joke so it should not be hard. Vt is a good fit but they may demand to bring a partner.

That would be ideal. You'd send Missouri to the west and have an even 8 team split with VA Tech and whomever, likely NC State or slim chance of UNC, completing the east.

I think Auburn will have a strong showing despite a brutal schedule, but this is still a young team after the almost total loss of the 2010 championship squad to graduation and early draft into the pros. The fact that the 2011 team actually won 8 games is somewhat of a miracle given the youth of the personnel. What's more, the new DC of Auburn is a completely different animal from Ted Roof, who apparently didn't believe in a pass rush. In that sense, 2013 is likely Auburn's year once again.

Arkansas is a harder question. How will the loss of Petrino affect matters?
