Great little right up on Yahoo some pretty good un-bias views in here. Don't agree with it all but still better than Clay Travis's crazy off the wall predictions!
Quote: The order of finish
East Division: 1. South Carolina; 2. Georgia; 3. Florida; 4. Missouri; 5. Tennessee; 6. Vanderbilt; 7. Kentucky
West Division: 1. LSU; 2. Alabama; 3. Arkansas; 4. Texas A&M; 5. Auburn; 6. Mississippi State; 7. Ole Miss
Quote: Best offensive player: South Carolina RB Marcus Lattimore. Lattimore's health is the key to the East division race. He will be the focal point of the Gamecocks' offense. Lattimore played in seven games last season before suffering a torn ACL; he still rushed for 818 yards and 10 TDs. That gives Lattimore 2,015 yards and 27 TDs in his first two seasons. He has been a workhorse when healthy, with five games of 25-plus carries and 10 games of 20-plus carries in his 20-game college career. He also has scored 30 total touchdowns in those 30 games. Lattimore especially loves playing against Georgia: 358 yards and three TDs in two games
Quote: Offensive player on the spot: South Carolina QB Connor Shaw. While the Gamecocks' offense is going to focus on Lattimore, Shaw has to play solid football. He should be able to do so. For the first time since he was at Florida, Steve Spurrier has a quarterback he can feel comfortable with. Shaw completed 65.4 percent of his passes and tossed 14 TDs last season. He certainly won't wow any opponent with his arm, but he's a heady guy who understands the offense and has some running ability. If he falters, the Gamecocks are going to struggle offensively and too much pressure will be placed on their defense.
