The public and media rarely agree, but isn’t that what’s beautiful about college football?

We have combed the SEC to look for five players the two can’t agree upon for 2015:

1. Jeremy Johnson, QB, Auburn (JR): Johnson enters the season as the biggest boom or bust prospect. He could boom in Gus Malzahn’s offense and become the second coming of Cam Newton, or he could fall short of the hype. The media thinks he’ll boom this year; I think he’ll boom this year. The preseason expectations continue to soar for Johnson based off of, really, one SEC start, while the naysayers continue to point to his inexperience. Still, the offense is very conducive for quarterbacks to put up big numbers, and the Heisman odds reflect that. Johnson enters as the most polarizing player in the conference.

2. Demarcus Robinson, WR, Florida (JR): Crazily, Demarcus Robinson was left entirely off the media’s preseason teams, all three of them. How does that happen? The media must be betting on the Gators’ passing game being weak and not getting Robinson the football. Robinson looks to be as talented as any receiver in the conference, but inconsistency has plagued him. Still, in Florida’s weak passing game, Robinson caught 53 passes for 810 yards and seven touchdowns last season. It’s easy to see that Robinson will be a major factor, but the media just can’t see him being a top six receiver. I see him being a top three or four receiver. Robinson has one of the highest upsides of any pass catcher in the conference.

3. Alex Collins, RB, Arkansas (JR): Jonathan Williams gets the ink he’s deserved. Preseason magazines have tabbed Williams as a top five running back in the conference. Yet, his counterpart, Alex Collins, after back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, rarely gets the hype that Williams does. In fact, Collins is the only SEC running back to put two 1,000-yard seasons together, and Arkansas is the only team in the country to return two 1,000-yard rushers. That’s an amazing accomplishment, and yet, we don’t hear too much about it. The masses remain divided on Collins and what kind of season he’ll deliver in 2015.

4. Maty Mauk, QB, Missouri (JR): Is this the season Maty Mauk takes that step? The numbers reflect a signal caller who isn’t progressing as fast as hoped. However, the win total is encouraging, as Mauk is 14-4 as a starter, and he’s one of the few experienced starters returning who’s a proven winner. He completed just a little over 53 percent of his passes in 2014 while leading his team to a division championship. The talent is certainly there, but Mauk will have to cut down on the INTs (threw 13 in ’14) and become more consistent.

5. Cam Sutton, CB, Tennessee (JR): Cam Sutton is one of the best cover corners in college football, and he gets little respect outside of Knoxville and the SEC media. Most would point towards Sutton being the second best cornerback in the SEC behind Florida’s Vernon Hargreaves, but he wasn’t even included on the Jim Thorpe Award Watch List, which honors college football’s best defensive back. Three SEC players appeared on the watch list — Hargreaves, Ole Miss’ Tony Conner and Auburn’s Jonathan Jones, and the one obvious missing player was Sutton.
