2010 SEC East in Review

Not too shabby. USC lost a game they shouldn't (UK) and Arkansas was a bit better than I expected. Overall i overshot on them by a game, and they still won the East (which was one of the worst divisions in College Football this year).

Florida lost two more game than I expected but they could have easily won both. A last second loss to LSU and having to use our punter for a kicker against MSU cost us those two. But they were miserable all year on offense.

I overshot UGA by a game in my prediction. But they did win one against Tech which I thought they might lose. (Nesbitt plays and I think they do). But the fighting Dan Mullens jumped up and bit the Dogs as well as the Gators. And then the inexplicable loss to Colorado... WITH AJ Green i might add. Although UGA did get great play out of Murray. He might be the best QB in the SEC this year with Newton and Mallet both leaving. But Murray got little help from the line and running game. And the defense struggled mightily against the run. Will things turn around for the dogs?

I predicted Tennessee perfectly. They lost every game I guessed and finished 6-6. They competed in the first half against Oregon and thought they had beaten LSU, but ultimately they were as expected.

I didn't actually lay out the UK and Vandy schedules and predictions, but they performed to expectations and were placed correctly.


I may wait another week or so to see where a few commitments fall to make my predictions for next year. I will tell you right now that I fully expect USC to win the east again. They return too much. And they may be adding the best defensive line prospect in recent memory. So be on the lookout for the 2011 predictions.
