re: Herbstreit predicts the SEC's biggest sleeper: LSU

Ole Miss went 10-2 and has Lane Kiffin, Arkansas went 8-4 and returns their QB, and Miss State returns 16 starters from a 7-5 team that beat A&M, Auburn, and NC State (9-3).

I think Ole Miss takes a step back this year with having to replace Corral. Their defense wasn't great & even with a talented transfer at QB, their offense may not be as good as it was in 2021.

Arkansas could possibly be the same or better talent & experience wise but their schedule is just daunting. Why on Earth would they schedule a trip to Provo to play BYU right in the meat of the SEC schedule?

With what Miss St is returning in upperclassmen & Will Rogers at QB, they are the team to me out of these 3 with the most potential this season.

Aggie is overrated. Their defense should be good on paper but losing Elko at DC may hurt. They don't have a legit, go to WR that teams fear. QB has the makings of being weakness again in terms of inconsistencies & chunk play making ability.
