The SEC Forum at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I don't think Auburn, LSU or Florida have a snowball's chance at a divisional title next fall. Florida pretty much showed that it was a three man team against Oklahoma and those three super players are gone. Auburn looks like it's sinking with the rats abandoning ship. The transfer portal down there needs a traffic cop and recruiting really suffered after they fired Gus. LSU doesn't have a SEC level qb.

Our forecasts obviously can be upset by unexpected developments, but it's fun to consider what appears to us to be likely.

It's not too hard to predict the East will be decided in Jacksonville and the West may be decided when Bama plays A&M, but the West is not as clear cut I think.

For Florida:
QB - Emory Jones is perfect for Mullen's run/pass system.  He has a stronger arm than Trask and should have a great grasp of the offense after playing/backing up for 2 years.
RB - everyone comes back, plus a 5* Clemson transfer
WR - 2 straight years of this position being gutted is rough, but we get back Shorter and Copeland, plus FRs Henderson and Whittemore showed they'll contribute
TE - we go from All-American to merely "very good" here
OL - depends.....may lose 4 guys, but some may come back, thanks to the extra year Covid thing.  This group can't run-block worth a damn, tho.
DL - Good pass-rushers return, but lose two 300 lbers......yet we get two 300 lbers to replaced them from Penn St and Auburn.
LB - a shallow position this past year, but literally EVERYONE comes back
DB - Marco Wilson leaving early is a non-issue, he stunk.  Elam is good, but the top 3 safeties leave and the DB coach.  As the defensive backs couldn't have been worse as a group, only coaching will improve things.  The guys who have played, haven't played well.  
.
We'll be a whole different offense in 2021.  And while not as productive, it'll still be a plus-offense.  We'll run the ball a ton more and there's a chance that in itself will help the defense some.  The front 6 of the defense will be better, but the defensive backfield is a crapshoot.  If it can be merely average, that would be a big step up and allow for a good season.
.
Good punter returns and we got a transfer K from Miss State.

I don't see how you can look at what Georgia has coming back and their schedule and say the East is a coin toss. Tennessee, Vanderbilt and South Carolina are in rebuild as is Auburn whom you play. Florida lost their entire offense and had no defense to start with. I doubt Kentucky and Missouri can challenge. Georgia misses Alabama and A&M, I believe. Georgia should go undefeated at least through the regular season.

No, no, by all means, count us out.  It's not like Mullen is going to actually get to run his offense now, with an athletic QB.  We don't have to play Georgia, they have to play us!

A toss up vs LSU?  Was that a shoe-throwing joke??!?  

Where did I say Florida should be a significant favorite over LSU next year?  Who am I to educate you on shit you're just conjuring from thin air?
