New SEC Network analyst Randall Cobb made a bold prediction about the SEC’s 2024 campaign on Wednesday night.
Cobb, a former NFL receiver who joined the network this offseason, is predicting that 2 SEC programs will go undefeated this fall. That by itself may not be a bold prediction, but Cobb’s specific teams may surprise some fans.
“There’s gonna be 2 undefeated teams this year in the SEC, and Georgia’s not going to be one of them,” Cobb said while wincing. “It’s a bold prediction, OK?
“I think it’s going to be Mizzou and Ole Miss. I like the way that their schedules line up and Ole Miss plays Georgia in Oxford. I think they’ve got an opportunity to knock them off. We’ll see.”

The SEC Network’s Alyssa Lang also shared her bold prediction in the video above: Florida will win 7 games in 2024.
Both Ole Miss and Missouri have legitimate College Football Playoff aspirations this season after winning double-digit games a year ago. However, it would be a big surprise to see either run the table in 2024.
ESPN’s Football Power Index gives the Rebels just a 0.4% chance to go undefeated. Missouri’s odds of a perfect regular season are a little higher at 1.4%, per ESPN’s model. For context, FPI gives Georgia the best odds of any SEC program to go undefeated at 11.5%.
