SEC sends eight to bowls. I might be (am, no doubt) underrating the bottom four and it wouldn't surprise me to see one or even two become bowl-eligible since two of them -- Arkansas and Kentucky -- were last year and one of them -- Vanderbilt -- lost two games by a field goal (Georgia and Tennessee) and ended 5-7.

Won't happen.

why not..

They go through LSU, South Carolina, and Florida, and host Tennessee.

LSU -- 12-1 (8-1 SEC, 5-0 West, SEC champion

I just don't see how LSU can come off of a two-loss season and lose their QB, lose their top running back and emotional leader, lose key players on defense (including the #5 pick in the draft), and have big time question marks at linebacker and cornerback and improve to a one-loss or unbeaten team.

Most of this is biased hopeful thinking. Most LSU fans are hoping for the best and preparing for a possible 2-4 loss season as we are questionable at key positions. It's the SEC. Every team is going to have earn it, and I'm sure it will be a very interesting and exciting season to see SEC football this year.

Going back to UGA going undefeated. I just look at their tough schedule and you have to think that they will slip up at least once next year. I'll be pulling for an SEC team to end up in Miami next year in the ship. If UGA makes it, I'll be rooting for them. I just don't see how any team will go undeated in the SEC this year.

LSU finishes 10-2....losses to 2 out of the group: Florida, Auburn, Georgia, Alabama

I don't see how LSU could come off a 2 loss season where we lose the #1 overall draft pick QB and TWO first round recievers AND a #6 overall DB on the defense and improve! Just couldn't happen.... wait a minute...
