SEC Network analyst Chris Doering names his dark horse candidate to win SEC East
As the 2020 SEC season kicks off, many think the SEC East is a 2-team race between the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs.
However, teams like Kentucky and Tennessee are also ranked in the top 25. Could either of them make some noise and pull off some upsets?
On Friday, SEC Network analyst Chris Doering explained why he thinks Kentucky is a dark horse candidate to win the East:
“I have [@UKFootball] as my dark horse team in the East.”

“I have them as my dark horse team in the East,” Doering says. “I don’t necessarily know if they’ll be able to do it this year, but they’ll have the opportunities, right? They get to play Florida and Georgia in the East every year and they get a chance with the big boys in the West with Auburn and Alabama. If there’s one thing coach (Mark) Stoops talked about, it’s expanded capacity. If you want to be talked about as the best and in the upper echelon of the SEC, then you’d better go out and win a couple of games like you have the chance to do on Saturday.”
Can the Wildcats pull off the upset against Auburn on Saturday afternoon? They’re a popular pick to win. Tune in to the SEC Network at noon Eastern time to find out.
No, this I can’t see. Auburn to win outright
-14 Auburn +40
Chris Doering is not a credible source for sh!t.
Great Pick Chris. Come on, you have been all in on the Stoops train for last 2 years. Had Gus Malzahn have been calling the plays and not Chad Morris, Auburn would have definitely put up more points on the Cats.
Well Chris…Auburn won.
I think it was still good pick even know auburn won.hope auburn players thanked Terry Wilson after game and the refs for the no call on touchdown at half.game changer for sure.if they can some how get Terry stop turning ball over they could still win east.the only team in east that looked ok was flordia but they still gave up 600 yards and 35 points.cats controlled the time of game all day couple bad play calls by coaches turnovers by terry and blind refs.first game of year some of these things expected.
Right now, the voting news media says, any and all of those four teams would need to come closer than 19 points to Alabama to have a better relative chance of beating the top “ranked” team in an imagined SEC Championship game. It’s Show-me season. So all these relative scores count now.
If it’s show me season then you should shut up because Missouri got shown to be hot garbage again..
This changes nothing. Mizzou wont get a single vote for any poll.
