• Tennessee will finish fifth in its division. Welcome to the SEC, L’il Kiffy. Go recruit some more.

• Auburn will finish fifth in its division. Welcome back to the SEC, Gene Chizik. Your limo awaits.

OK, so I’m a big fat homer, but I’m an equal-opportunity homer. In last year’s long-range college football predictions, I picked Georgia to win the BCS title. This time I’m picking Georgia Tech …

...

• I see Georgia losing four games. If that sounds like a lot, recall that the star-studded 2008 team lost three, and — stop me if you’ve heard this already — Matthew Stafford and Knowshon Moreno are gone. Joe Cox won’t be as good as D.J. Shockley was in 2005, but he’ll be OK. Replacing Moreno will be more problematic. And there’s still the Willie Martinez factor. The losses: At Oklahoma State and Tech, to LSU at home and (duh) in Jacksonville.

That mirrors what we've been talking about...in both regards.

To say the least, I'm about 50/50 with the rest of the stuff in his little write-up.

(It is the first time I've ever seen the word deft and Les Miles used in the same sentence.)
