The SEC doesn't look particularly promising this year. Bama returns a stellar offense but not much on D--still enough talent to justify the preseason attention you guys will garner.
Florida has a boatload of talent on campus but experience is lacking and they will still be top five.
After that...everyone has too many unanswered questions. Can we (Auburn) field a respectable D? Can Petrino field a halfway decent D for the first time in his career and keep Mallett on track? Will Les Miles learn how to call a timeout?
Even with the massive personnel losses on D, Bama is the only team in the SEC that has enough to be considered a true top flight team. After that, Florida included, there are a ton of questions to answer.
Just my two cents
