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).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SEC\u00a0Win-Shares<\/strong><\/p>\n

West<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alabama – 9.41 (5.8)<\/p>\n

LSU – 8.94 (5.27)<\/p>\n

TAMU – 7.35 (4.75)<\/p>\n

Auburn – 7.19 (3.74)<\/p>\n

Ole Miss – 6.76 (3.61)<\/p>\n

Arkansas – 6.19 (2.97)<\/p>\n

Mississippi St – 6.14 (2.79)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

East<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Georgia 8.01 (4.67)<\/p>\n

Tennessee 7.9 (4.31)<\/p>\n

Florida 7.13 (4.0)<\/p>\n

South Carolina 6.6 (3.24)<\/p>\n

Kentucky 6.33 (3.24)<\/p>\n

Missouri 6.24 (3.23)<\/p>\n

Vanderbilt 6.01 (3.19)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Alabama\u00a0over Georgia in the SEC\u00a0championship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Alabama\u00a0over UGA\u00a0in the SEC\u00a0Champ<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SF has the same SEC Champ game match up and outcome. A few notable differences is Ole Miss performing better than Win-Shares indicate as well as a few slight differences in the standings with teams like Auburn, Miss St, and Arkansas.<\/p>\n
