For each of the conference Predictions I will put in both the Predicted Finish according to Win-Shares, as well as my own personal predictions (which are largely very similar).
SEC Win-Shares
West
Alabama – 9.41 (5.8)
LSU – 8.94 (5.27)
TAMU – 7.35 (4.75)
Auburn – 7.19 (3.74)
Ole Miss – 6.76 (3.61)
Arkansas – 6.19 (2.97)
Mississippi St – 6.14 (2.79)
East
Georgia 8.01 (4.67)
Tennessee 7.9 (4.31)
Florida 7.13 (4.0)

Kentucky 6.33 (3.24)
Missouri 6.24 (3.23)
Vanderbilt 6.01 (3.19)
Alabama over Georgia in the SEC championship.
Essentially the West will come down to Alabama and LSU winner with the East coming down to the Georgia and Tennessee winner. SEC would have an astonishing 14 teams qualify for bowl games. I can pretty much guarantee you that won’t happen. This is a very strong year for the SEC. With Elite teams and a lot of depth (especially with Vanderbilt catching back up the pack). Most notable things is Missouri and South Carolina falling back to where they traditionally have been in the SEC pecking order.
