The pre-spring version of the CFN 2021 rankings with a first look at all the SEC teams.
2021 SEC Rankings: Pre-Spring.
SEC East.
1. Georgia Bulldogs.
Why To Be Happy: There’s a nice group of players returning to set the foundation for what should be a stronger year. Start with JT Daniels settling the quarterback situation, continue with RB James Cook and OT Jamaree Salyer to go along with all the high-end receivers and defensive talents returning, and most the players are there to get to the College Football Playoff.
What To Work On: The offense has to be better in the bigger games. The defense was strong all season and will be again, but the O wasn’t consistent enough, especially against Alabama, Florida, and at least on the ground, against Cincinnati.
Bottom Line: Win the SEC East, Georgia. Considering all of the big replacements being made at Alabama, there’s no reason to shoot for anything less than a conference championship. – 2021 Georgia Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
2. Florida Gators.
Why To Be Happy: The Gators might be losing a ton of the key 2020 parts, but several very, very nice prospects are coming in to ease the pain. Clemson RB Demarkcus Bowman was a huge recruit, as were Auburn DT Daquan Newkirk and LSU TE Arik Gilbert. Emory Jones adds more mobility to the quarterback position, and enough starters return on defense to be okay. However …
What To Work On: No, really, Kyle Pitts was Heisman-caliber good numbers-wise. Yes, part of the reason the Gators flopped against Oklahoma was the lack of the star receiver talent, and now TE Kyle Pitts and WRs Kadarius Toney and Trevon Grimes are gone.
Bottom Line: The Gators are going to reload in a hurry and could be even more dangerous if the receivers rise up right away. However, going into spring football they look like they might be a step or two behind Georgia. – 2021 Florida Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
3. Missouri Tigers.
Why To Be Happy: There were losses in the transfer portal, but the Tigers got plenty of wins. They might have lost star LB Nick Bolton to the NFL, but they picked up a very, very good safety-sized playmaker in Blaze Allredge from Rice. Plug him into the lineup, and with the return of tackles Kobie Whiteside and Markell Utsey for their senior-plus seasons, and now …
What To Work On: The defense has to be a whole lot stronger than it was at the end of the season. Solid at times, it couldn’t handle the bigger boys on the slate and then it all melted down over the last three games.
Bottom Line: RB Larry Rountree is gone, but almost everyone else is back on O, almost everyone is back on D, and head coach Eliah Drinkwitz had a year to get things in place. Mizzou is about to make a jump. – 2021 Missouri Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
4. Kentucky Wildcats.
Why To Be Happy: QB Terry Wilson might be transferring out, but the offense might be more dynamic with either Joey Gatewood or Beau Allen under center. With leading receiver Josh Ali coming back the passing game should be solid, and …
What To Work On: Kentucky loses enough good players to matter. P Max Duffy, LB Jamin Davis and CB Kelvin Joseph are just a few who’ll be missed, the O and D lines need a slew of replacements, and …
Bottom Line: Kentucky will still be Kentucky. It’ll have its style on both sides that will work just enough to be a bother. There will be just enough missing to be a contender, but no one will grind harder or better. – 2021 Kentucky Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
5. Tennessee Volunteers.
Why To Be Happy: Not everyone entered the transfer portal. The Vols were able to bring in Virginia Tech’s talented QB Hendon Hooker and … uhhhhh … Hooker is good. Getting Cade Mays back for the offensive line is terrific, and the defensive front returns enough veterans to be a potential plus.
What To Work On: The offense has got to start moving the ball better. It was a disaster on third downs and everything fell flat except against the weak and the sad. Also, the defense has got to start coming up with third down stops.
Bottom Line: Okay … so almost everyone is apparently entering the transfer portal, but that should change and possibly reverse now that things have settled a bit after hiring Josh Heupel. If nothing else, the offense is about to be a whole lot more fun. No matter what you think about the hire, Tennessee has a direction. – 2021 Tennessee Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
6. South Carolina Gamecocks.
Why To Be Happy: The program is going to get time to grow and get the young parts working, starting with RB Kevin Harris and – most likely – QB Luke Doty behind an O line that might not be all that bad. The new coaching staff has been active on the transfer portal with a whole slew of reinforcements coming in.
What To Work On: Find a passing game right away. Harris is going to be options 1, 2 and 3, but being more dangerous down the field is a must for an offense that sputtered and coughed throughout the second half of the season. The offense needs a higher-octane identity.
Bottom Line: You wanted Will Muschamp gone. Done, now the rebuild begins under Shane Beamer. There’s going to be a “no one believes in us” factor with the Gamecocks for 2021 – the pressure is off. The starting 22 should be okay with a little more help. – 2021 South Carolina Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.
7. Vanderbilt Commodores.
Why To Be Happy: Yeah, a slew of Commodores are in the transfer portal, but most of the key ones didn’t play big roles in 2020 after being a bigger part of the 2019 team. Vandy went young, suffered through the problems, and now returns experienced in a few areas to hope for a quick improvement.
What To Work On: Scoring. The Commodores scored 21 points or fewer in eight of their nine games and 17 or fewer in seven of those. Go back to 2019 and the program has scores 17 or fewer in 13 of their last 17 games.
Bottom Line: New head coach Clark Lea has a massive task ahead of him with a total overhaul of a program that went 2-18 against FBS teams over the last two seasons. – 2021 Vanderbilt Schedule Analysis, Best & Worst Case Scenarios.

Dale Zanine-USA TODAY Sports.
It’s the final week of the regular season — and it’s also conference championship weekend. Alabama and Florida will play for the conference title on Saturday night in Atlanta, but we get several appetizers before that, including a partial SEC slate.
Tennessee will close its regular season with a make-up game against Texas A&M in Knoxville, giving the Aggies one final shot to impress the playoff committee. Texas A&M will obviously need some help to get it, but in the meantime, they’ll be trying to put up plenty of points against 3-6 Tennessee in order to make their case. For the Volunteers, Jeremy Pruitt is just looking for a competitive showing in order to cool off his seat entering the 2021 season.
LSU-Ole Miss has all the makings of a fun matchup, while Mississippi State-Missouri could go either way.
Each of our picks for the final week of the season are listed below.
2020 SEC expert picks: Most overrated and underrated teams, order of finish, bold season predictions.
Taking a close, detailed and opinionated look at the SEC as the college football season approaches.
The 2020 college football season is going to be one of the most bizarre the sport has ever seen, but a familiar face is still poised to be at the top of the sport -- the Southeastern Conference. LSU ran through the SEC en route to the national title last season after putting together one of the most magical campaigns in college football history. The new decade brings new questions in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, as coach Ed Orgeron has lost a medium-sized village of players to the NFL Draft and others, including wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase, to the opt-out craze.
The Tigers will have familiar foes champing at the bit to unseat them, including a veteran-laden Alabama squad, a Georgia program that has been on the brink of greatness, a talented Florida team with a quarterback in Kyle Trask who has Heisman Trophy potential, and an Auburn team that has plenty of talent to go around.
As is the case during most seasons, the conference is loaded with superstars who could push for the Heisman. Alabama running back Najee Harris and wide receiver DeVonta Smith returned for their senior seasons in the hopes of avenging Bama's "disappointing" two-loss season last season. Texas A&M quarterback Kellen Mond is in Year 3 of the Jimbo Fisher system, which should keep the Aggies in the mix in the SEC West. Trask returns for the Gators and could go from backup-turned-starter last year to the league's leading passer.
Who could forget the new faces? The State of Mississippi got a face lift when Lane Kiffin took over Ole Miss and Mike Leach got the Mississippi State job in the hopes of righting the ship. Missouri lured Eliah Drinkwitz from Appalachian State after dismissing Barry Odom, and veteran assistant Sam Pittman took over for Chad Morris at Arkansas.
Our CBS Sports college football experts have provided their picks and predictions for the SEC ahead of the 2020 season, which is starting in Week 4 with the ACC and Big 12 already underway while the Big Ten is still a month away from playing.
Most overrated team.
Texas A&M: TAMU faced four legitimate top-10 teams last year: Clemson, Alabama, Georgia and LSU, plus another very good Auburn squad. The result: 0-for. Can Jimbo Fisher's Aggies actually live up to some preseason hype this time and notch some big wins? The schedule, though more condensed, isn't much easier out of the SEC West; plus, getting Florida out of the SEC East as part of the new schedule is a stinger, too. Not to put too much pressure on quarterback Kellen Mond, but he needs to peak in 2020. While there's no denying his raw talent, he was wildly inconsistent last year, especially against better opponents (55.6% completions with a 3/2 TD-INT ratio vs. ranked opponents). It wasn't all his fault -- he was frequently under pressure -- but that leads to another concern: Has Texas A&M's pass protection improved enough? There are some stingy defensive fronts on the Aggies' schedule this year. Texas A&M has four or five marquee games: at Alabama, vs. Florida, at Tennessee, vs. LSU and at Auburn. With a preseason top 15 ranking, it's going to need to beat at least a couple to not get the "overrated" title. -- Ben Kercheval (also Chip Patterson, Jerry Palm)
Georgia: Let me get this straight. We are going to put faith in a Georgia offense that has a revamped offensive line, a No. 1 running back in Zamir White who hasn't held that job in previous years, a transfer quarterback in J.T. Daniels who inherited the job after Jamie Newman's departure and hasn't been medically cleared to play, a wide receiving corps that has one established weapon in George Pickens, and a brand new offensive coordinator in Todd Monken? Nope. In a normal offseason with spring practice season? Maybe. But not in 2020. Georgia's defense is stellar and will keep the Bulldogs in every game. There's no doubt about that. But will that offense be consistent enough to put Georgia in the College Football Playoff? Not a chance. -- Barrett Sallee.
Tennessee: I'm just not there with the Volunteers yet. That was a fine six-game winning streak at the end of last season, but the SEC has proven you need a quarterback to win. I don't know if Jeremy Pruitt has one. When the standard is Shawn Robinson at Missouri -- that's who Jarrett Guarantano is ranked behind by some in the SEC -- then there is a problem. Even with the loss of Joe Burrow, this one of the SEC's best collection of quarterbacks. The Vols aren't going anywhere meaningful without inspired quarterback play. -- Dennis Dodd.
Auburn: The quarterback has always been the most important position in football, but in recent years, it's become even more important. When I look at the teams expected to compete in the SEC West this season, Auburn's quarterback situation is the one I have the most questions about. Elsewhere, there's been a lot of attention on how much LSU has to replace -- and it's a lot -- but Auburn loses a lot of production as well. I think there's just a little too much assuming going on with this Auburn team. Of course, keep in mind that when I call Auburn "overrated," I mean it in the sense that I'm comfortable calling it a top 15 team . just not a top 10 team. -- Tom Fornelli.
LSU: Aside from Ed Orgeron saying "go Tigahs" in his pregame interview, this LSU team will be unrecognizable when it takes the field for its opener against Mississippi State on Sept. 26. The Tigers were already returning fewer starters than any team in the league before players starting opting out of the season. Now, they have lost four more projected starters due to opt outs with star receiver Ja'Marr Chase's departure serving as an especially crushing blow. Sure, LSU has recruited at an elite level, and the program deserves respect as the defending national champion. but this team is losing too many stars -- and too many key assistant coaches -- to compete for a league title this year. -- David Cobb.
Most underrated team.
Auburn: If Chad Morris can assist in opening up the passing game -- and the potential is there with Seth Williams and Anthony Schwartz as one of the top wide receiver duos in the SEC -- then we could see a big step forward for Bo Nix in year two. The losses of Derrick Brown and Marlon Davidson are significant, but the defense still has elite players at all three levels and has recruited well enough to avoid a drop off on that side of the ball. But go ahead and keep underrating Auburn because that's exactly how they like it. It doesn't have to make sense, and it probably won't. Doesn't matter if it's Ole Miss, Georgia, LSU or Alabama, pretty much everything is a one-score game with the Tigers. I think Auburn ends up on the right side of those enough to exceed expectations in 2020. -- Patterson (also Dodd)
Kentucky: Always thought of as the only SEC school that cares more about basketball than football, Kentucky's football team tends to fly under the radar. However, Mark Stoops has taken the Wildcats to four straight bowl games, peaking in 2018 with a 10-3 record. Kentucky took a little step back last year but still finished 8-5, including a blowout of Louisville. It has to replace do-everything quarterback Lynn Bowden, but Terry Wilson is back from injury. If the offense can continue to produce, Kentucky will be a team to watch. -- Palm (also Kercheval)
Texas A&M: It seems like every year is finally going to be the year for Texas A&M, and that's created some Aggies fatigue among pundits. But if you look objectively at the SEC West, it's evident that Fisher's third team is well-positioned to take a significant leap. The Aggies return a bevy of starters on both sides of the ball from a team whose only losses came against top-10 opponents last season. Even this year's 10-game conference slate might seem easy compared to last year's daunting schedule that required TAMU to play three teams that were ranked No. 1 in the nation at the time. The Aggies may not win the conference title, but you can bet they'll finish in the top three of the SEC West for just the second time since Johnny Manziel's freshman season. -- Cobb (also Fornelli)
Ole Miss: First-year coach Lane Kiffin made his mark on the college football world as an offensive genius. That reputation will be further solidified this season when he puts fuel additive in an already-potent Rebel attack. The trio of quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, running back Jerrion Ealy and wide receiver Elijah Moore is the most underrated three-headed monster in the nation. They finished 0-5 last season in games decided by one possession (eight or fewer points). As long as the defense is decent, that kind of bad luck will not continue in 2020. The Rebels won't contend for the division title, but they're going to scare the daylights out of a lot of contenders. -- Sallee.

SECCG: Alabama over Georgia.
1) Alabama over 4) Ohio State 2) Oklahoma over 3) Georgia.
1) Alabama over 2) Oklahoma.
It's far away but we'll have some extensive turnover - especially on offense. QB, 2-3 OL, #1 WR, #1 RB, possibly OC. Going 12-0 will be tough, plus we have Florida in Gainesville for our crossover game and trips to A&M and Auburn.
Georgia will be the SEC favorite, IMHO.
Still have to see who comes back for Georgia end Bama but as of now I actually like Georgia over them.
This coming from someone who picked Georgia to go 8-2 this year.

Offense may be interesting early, but Bama will have an absolutely nasty defense.
That DL and secondary will be flat out disgusting.

(1) We lose both our CBs (probably) (2) We lose Barmore (3) We probably don't lose Golding.
So, bleh. We do have a lot of talented kids who have shown up this year, and we have some more waiting in the wings who are going to be terrors (both current freshmen and incoming ones). We'll dominate bad teams, but we have to prove at some point we can put up some level of resistance against really good offenses. because we will probably take a step back offensively from "Holy shit" to "very good".
