It's a Bye Week, there is no Texas Longhorns game to prepare for or Players to Watch, next Wednesday we will chat about the Florida Gators and Freshman Quarterback D.J. Lagway out of Willis, TX. Until then, let's talk about the home stretch of the SEC, otherwise known as #OurConference.
Below I have my Pre-Season Predicted Order of Finish Ballot from SEC Media Days, as well as updated Week 10-14 Week-by-Week Game Predicted Results and Conference-by-Conference Predicted Finishes.
My Pre-Season Top 10 Teams in the SEC Ballot (Predicted Order of Finish) - (7/20/24)
- Ole Miss (11-1, Loss at LSU)
- Texas (11-1, Loss A&M)
- Alabama (10-2, Loss at Tennessee, Loss at Oklahoma)
- Georgia (9-3, Loss at Alabama, at Texas and at Ole Miss)
- Missouri (9-3, Loss at Alabama, Oklahoma, at South Carolina)
- Tennessee (9-3, Loss at NC State, Florida, at Georgia)
- Oklahoma (9-3, Loss Texas, at Ole Miss, at LSU)
- LSU (9-3, Loss at USC, Alabama, at Florida)
- South Carolina (8-4, Loss LSU, at Alabama, Ole Miss, at Oklahoma)
- Kentucky (7-5, Loss at Texas, at Tennessee, at Ole Miss, Georgia, South Carolina)
THOUGHTS: Boy did I mess up on Oklahoma and A&M, A&M I didn't have in my Top 10 entering the season, I didn't believe in Weigman, nor did I believe this defense was going to be nearly as dominant as they are. Apologies to all for projecting an A&M loss this summer, lol.
