A few things before I begin...

Like to thank Phil Steele for putting out a great college football preview, he's the source I used for the returning leaders section...

This took a ton of time, and I hope you enjoy all my previews...

Tommorrow night I'll give ya my all-SEC East team, and the SEC West preview will be available Wednesday Night...

11-1 overall (8-0 conference)
6 “swing” games

Analysis
Urban Meyer is amazing in his second year at programs. In 2002 he went 9-3 at Bowling Green, and in 2004 he went 12-0 at Utah.

Florida plays the toughest conference schedule in the country year in and year out. They have annual battles with LSU and Bama, and this year they draw Auburn out of the west.

Chris Leak’s future is this year. He is either going to be a first round pick next year or be a complete dud. I bet on him being a star this year.

Florida’s season will be determined in the month of September 30-October 28, 4 swing games in a row….

Florida is my pick to win the SEC and go to a BCS bowl game.

9-3 overall (6-2 conference)
5 “swing” games

Analysis
For my money, Mark Richt is the best coach in the country….

Georgia draws Ole Miss and Mississippi St in the west, a clear advantage over Florida…

Georgia will struggle offensively, I don’t see them passing the ball very well all year….

9 wins and a Outback Bowl showing wouldn’t be bad for this team….

Tennessee

9-3 overall (5-3 conference)
6 “swing” games

Analysis
We’ll know a lot about Tennessee in their first game of the year. Cal is a very very good team, especially on the ground. If Fulmer losses that game, his ass will be hotter than a set of matches…

I’m not a huge Erik Ainge fan. He only completed 45 percent of his passes last year….

Arian Foster will be the reason why this team is successful….

I was halfway tempted to put Tennessee in the 6-7 win range, but I think new OC David Cutcliffe makes enough difference to the offense to win them a few more close games this year….

South Carolina
Head Coach: Steve Spurrier (149-45-2 overall)

Last season: 7-5 (lost to Missouri 38-31 in Independence Bowl)

# of returning starters: 12 (7 offense, 5 defense)

Returning Leaders
Passing: Blake Mitchell (186-315, 2370 yards, 17 TD, 12 INT)

Nov. 18 Middle Tennessee W

Nov. 25 at Clemson L

7-5 overall (4-4 conference)
4 “swing” games

Analysis
WR Sidney Rice will be a first round pick next year. This cat will be a star…..

Steve Spurrier’s team usually get better in the second year, but I don’t see much improvement, I’d give them an outside chance of beating Auburn if the game wasn’t a quick turnaround, they’ll only have four days to prepare….

The fact that they return seven offensive starters is dangerous…..

Spurrier did a nice job in his first year, but thinking he’s going to turn South Carolina into a threat year in and year out is something I highly doubt….

Kentucky

Head Coach: Rich Brooks (100-134-4 overall)

Last season: 3-8 (no bowl)

# of returning starters: 16 (9 offense, 7 defense)

Returning Leaders
Passing: Andre Woodson (146-253, 1644 yards, 6 TD, 6 INT)

Rushing: Rafael Little (197 att, 1103 yards)

Receiving: Rafael Little (46 rec, 449 yards)

Nov. 18 ULM W

Nov. 25 at Tennessee L

5-7 overall (2-6 conference)
4 “swing” games

Analysis
The most important game of the year for Kentucky will be September 16 against Ole Miss. If they can win that game, they could set themselves up well for the rest of the year….

The SEC East is so difficult, it’s hard to fathom Kentucky ever becoming a consistent bowl team….

Last year, the offense was a flat joke. Little led the offense in rushing and receiving. Unless your Marshall Faulk or Reggie Bush, that’s not good. And Little could lick either of their jock straps with a leather tongue….

If UK doesn’t go to a bowl game this year, Rich Brooks is out of town…. I think Rich Brooks will be out of town…..

Vanderbilt
Head Coach: Bobby Johnson (11-35 overall)

Last season: 5-6 (no bowl)

# of returning starters: 12 (6 offense, 6 defense)

Returning Leaders
Passing: Chris Nickson (1-3, 13 yards, 0 TD, 0 INT)

Rushing: Cassen Jackson-Garrison (97 att, 579 yards)

Receiving: Earl Bennett (79 rec, 876 yards)

3-9 Overall (0-8 conference)
3 “swing” games

Analysis
This Vandy team will be bad. Last year was one of the best in ages (probably since 82, the last time they made a bowl)…

Jay Cutler will be missed badly. The backup threw 3 passes… all year….

I really think if you can score 17 points on Vandy this year, you’ll win every time. They’ll be dead last in the league in offense….

Back to the cellar for the Dores…..
Awesome FN.. just plain awesome.. good work
Great work........
Nasty u r awesome man! Florida is my favorite team in College Football and Chris Leak has the talent to be a top QB in the Nation along with Troy Smith and Brady Quinn and so on... but Florida does have the toughest schedule out of all the SEC teams but I think they have the ability to win it all... wtg Nasty!
Great preview man!!!!!
