Predicting every SEC team’s record after Week 11

The league’s true heavyweights slugged it out in Week 11, but there were plenty of games with postseason significance in the SEC. As for regular-season significance, well, here is how we project each SEC team to finish the regular season, after Week 11.

West

Alabama: 11-1

It’s hard to imagine Auburn getting the best of an angry Alabama team. Unless we see something crazy, we’ll expect a slate of wins from here out for the Tide.

Arkansas: 2-10

Who knew we were overshooting at 3-9? Western Kentucky apparently did. Sheesh.

Auburn: 8-4

We’re sitting pat here. Not outside the realm of possibility to see an upset of Georgia or Auburn, but as frustrating as this offense has been, can’t call for it right now.

LSU: 12-0

Given how good LSU has been in close games, it’s hard to expect even a lack of focus to result in a regular-season loss. Meet the new boss.

Mississippi State: 6-6

If the Bulldogs win the Egg Bowl at home, they’ll go bowling. Will that save Joe Moorhead’s job?

Ole Miss: 4-8

The schedule unfortunately renders the Rebels as spoilers in the Egg Bowl. How motivated will they be in a road game with no bowl potential? If the answer is “pretty darn motivated,” they could still grab a 5th win there.

Texas A&M: 7-5

The Aggies don’t seem likely to take down Georgia or LSU, but in a fairly topsy-turvy SEC season, 7 wins will leave A&M in the middle of the West standings and in a surprisingly nice bowl matchup.

East

Florida: 10-2

Given the back end of Florida’s schedule, 10 wins seems to be almost a certainty, as does a top 10 ranking and a New Year’s Day bowl game. If you thought Dan Mullen could do that either without a consistent running game or his starting QB, well, we’ve got some Florida property to sell you.

Georgia: 11-1

While the Bulldogs certainly can’t overlook Auburn, they feel like a solid favorite, even on the road. They’ve got the tie-breaker over UF anyway, so UGA is all but guaranteed the East title, which is where things could get really interesting.

Kentucky: 7-5

The back end of Kentucky’s schedule looks incredibly soft. They’d be much happier to beat Vanderbilt and UT-Martin and not have bowl eligibility on the line against Louisville.

Missouri: 7-5

Arkansas certainly looks like a win, but UT could certainly give the Tigers some trouble. Still, the game is at home, so for now, we’ll stay here.

South Carolina: 4-8

Granted, this was a good Appalachian State team, but Carolina’s last shot at a salvageable season fell by the wayside around the time of that late first-half pick-6. Looks like we find out how patient Gamecocks fans are with Muschamp now.

Tennessee: 6-6

By winning in Lexington, the Vols all but wrapped up a bowl bid. Even if they lose at Mizzou, they should have no real trouble with Vandy.

Vanderbilt: 3-9

In the same way that it looked like Arkansas might not get by WKU, there’s a temptation to think this morbid Vandy team could lose to ETSU. Surely not.
