According to preseason prognosticators, Auburn, Alabama and Georgia are the three teams to beat in the SEC and everyone else just chasing them. Right?

Well, if we’re honest, there’s a chance that any single game on the SEC schedule could really mess with those finely-crafted preseason predictions that we’ve all been poring over throughout the summer.

We try to identify 10 that could be particularly harsh on folks that are already counting them as a win for one team or the other:

Sept. 19: Ole Miss at Alabama

We’ll get to put the theory that Alabama is the favorite in the SEC West to the test in Week 3. The Rebels took down an unbeaten Crimson Tide team in Oxford last season, but winning again at Bryant-Denny in 2015 is a completely separate challenge.

Sept. 19: South Carolina at Georgia

All of the preseason noise would indicate that Georgia should make easy work of a South Carolina team that fell off during 2014, but we all know what happened to the Bulldogs when visiting the Gamecocks last season. Both teams will be breaking in new quarterbacks, which should add an extra element of unknown into a usually-entertaining game. A South Carolina win here shakes things up in the East right from the beginning.

Sept. 19: Auburn at LSU

Much like Alabama, Auburn will also have its status as one of the SEC West favorites tested on Sept. 19. An early-season trip to LSU should be exceptionally difficult if the Tigers have solved their quarterback quandary and Auburn’s defense has yet to completely transform into a quality Will Muschamp product out of the gate.

Sept. 26: Mississippi State at Auburn

Beware of the letdown, Auburn fans. Even if the Tigers are able to escape Death Valley with a victory in Week 3, they will have Dak Prescott and the Bulldogs, who beat Auburn last season, coming to town the very next week with something to prove. No team feels more disrespected by this offseason than Mississippi State, which has been projected to finish last in the SEC West after winning 10 games in 2014.

Sept. 26: Tennessee at Florida

It seems like everyone is aboard the Tennessee hype train heading into the season, but there is a hurdle that the Vols have to clear before we should take their chances to win the SEC East seriously. Tennessee has not beaten Florida since 2004. Breaking this 10-game losing streak on the road in The Swamp during Jim McElwain’s first conference game as Gators coach may be easier to predict in August than it is to actually accomplish in September.

Oct. 3: Alabama at Georgia

This is the game that most SEC fans are pointing to as a defining moment in both the SEC East and SEC West races. There is a chance that one team may enter this October match with a conference loss already on its record, which could make this an elimination game of sorts for one of these teams, and as the predicted divisional champions, that means it could derail the preseason prognostication of many.

Oct. 3: Arkansas at Tennessee

Both of these teams have received plenty of credit for their improved performance in 2014, and it has shown in the preseason projections for 2015. A loss in this game for either team could potentially derail plans to improve beyond last season’s 7-win output, scrambling up those optimistic predictions in the process.

Oct. 31: Florida vs. Georgia

We have to look back no further than 2014 to understand why this game should always appear on a list of this nature. The old cliche about throwing the records out the window for rivalries games applies here. Last season, a below-average Florida team took Georgia to the woodshed in a game that shattered the Bulldogs’ SEC East title aspirations.

Nov. 14: Kentucky at Vanderbilt

Nobody think they’re going to lose to Vanderbilt … until they do. This one could really derail what some are projecting to be a bowl-bound season for Kentucky. Mark Stoops was 0-10 away from Commonwealth Stadium during his first two years at Kentucky, and we know that Vanderbilt’s Derek Mason will be hungry for what could be his first SEC win.

Nov. 28: Alabama at Auburn

Although the SEC Media Days voting, which featured Alabama as the SEC West champion and Auburn as the SEC champion, may have given an indication it was possible for both to win, only one of these teams can win the West Division. Maybe neither. There is a very good chance that this game will have something to say about the outcome of the division race, making it probable that some preseason picks get scrambled in the process.
