Richard and Alex preview the SEC for the 2025 season:
Texas has everything it needs to make a deep playoff run
Georgia has a few more questions, especially at QB, but (this will shock you) looks like a frontline contender once again
Alabama is back, per Richard
LSU has championship upside, but will the defense be good or great?
South Carolina has a huge star at QB and another at EDGE. The rest of the roster is more open to interpretation, but one of us is optimistic
Florida has DJ Lagway, and that counts for a lot
Ole Miss faces a QB transition, but there’s reason to be optimistic. Will the defense keep chugging after a bunch of losses?
Texas A&M will run over you and play solid defense. How serious will Marcel Reed and the wide receivers be?
Tennessee’s best side of the ball probably isn’t offense
Oklahoma has some elite talent and some splashy portal additions, and Richard thinks this might work out
Auburn might have the best receivers in the conference and has a bunch of young players that flashed last year. What about the weird QB situation?
Mizzou is building its roster effectively but has some substantial losses to contend with, and it doesn’t sound like a great QB room
Vanderbilt will probably move backward, but the ‘Dores have made progress
Arkansas faces another year of coaching carousel questions
Kentucky appears to be a bad situation
Mississippi State is a bit more interesting but faces a long slog
After going through each team, the group awards preseason honors: The Split Zone Duo Dude of the Year, the Low-Key Cool Game of the Year, and the Coach Who’s Not Gonna Be Here Next Year Award. Producer: Anthony Vito.
That wraps up our conference previews
