    Tebow's got that Heisman curse to deal with.

    And frankly, I don't understand all the Auburn love. The new offense may work great eventually, but there WILL be growing pains. Same thing goes for the new defense. I'd take our uncertainty at QB over their uncertainties any day.

    Tebow also owns an unimpressive 9-4 record as a starter.

    To be fair, it should be noted that that was through no fault of his own. His supporting cast was lacking and should be improved this year.

    It's like casting...oh, I dunno...Morgan Freeman and Angelina Jolie into a shootout movie with a bunch of no-named actors and expecting it to be good.

    Oh, wait...they did that. Didn't work.

    depending on what one thinks expectations for LSU are, i think it's us.

    for realistic people though, it's probably UGA.

    basically if we go 9-3 or 8-4, that would rock some people's worlds.

    i don't think it's that crazy with this schedule this year.

    but UGA's schedule is far worse.

    Yeah Georgia' schedule will hurt them. I don't think they'll win the east, though they will still be a very good team. All the talk of NC hopes are a bit much I think...
    I think LSU will be first or second in the west, but no one is expecting NC this year...
    So to answer your question- UGA.

    LSU wins it all again and plays Tennessee in SECCG.

    Georgia will not live up to it's headlines nor will Flordia. Auburn's D will be fine; however, same can't be said of their O.

    Dude, Auburn's offense ranked 109th out of 119 D-1 teams last season ...... how can it possibly be worse than than last year? :wink:

    LSu and Auburn are ranked around #8 to #12 and both will probably meeet those expectations.

    Florida and Georgia are ranked #1 to #4 and at least one will not finish that high.

    Georgia has the pre-season #1 ranking and Richt badly needs to punch his ticket with an NC. This is their year. If they run their schedule, they should be the champs. Anything less will NOT meet expectations,

    Georgia.

    I'm going to have to agree with you. It depends on what people's expectations are of us. I honestly believe we go 9-3 or 8-4 this year but some are saying back-to-back NC. Last year was our destiney year, it was meant to be, with all the close games, and now we have an inexperienced QB and basically have a tought schedule @Florida, @Auburn, Georgia.

    I would love for us to run the table but I'm thinking this will be an off year for our beloved Tigers.
