2024 #SEC Predictions
Championship Game 🏆
• Georgia over Ole Miss
Playoff Teams
• Georgia
• Ole Miss
• Texas
• Missouri
• Alabama
● Georgia loses tons of production like always but they return QB Carson Beck who’s arguably the best in CFB. The OL, DL, LB, DB, WR, TE, RB rooms are all loaded with talent and production and it’s almost impossible for me to see this team miss the playoff this season. The schedule isn’t the easiest with games vs Clemson, Kentucky, Alabama, Auburn, Texas, Ole Miss, Tennessee and GT.
● I really like Ole Miss this season, I love what the Rebels did in the portal strengthening the D-Line and adding WR Antwane Wells Jr. QB Jaxson Dart is my #2 ranked quarterback in CFB and Lane Kiffin is thirsty for a #CFP appearance. The schedule isn’t the hardest with the Non Conference being very weak and in SEC play the Rebels avoid Alabama, Missouri, Tennessee and Texas A&M.
● Texas is basically a lock to make the CFP in my opinion. Quinn Ewers returns as a top 10 QB in #CFB. The O-Line is going to be ELITE, The WRs are solid and the D-Line has potential. The Longhorns just lost RB CJ Baxter for the season but they do have some depth at the position. I have Texas making the CFP and winning in Round 1 and the Longhorns have the talent to make it to the Final 4.
● I know Missouri has some question marks on Defense BUT the Offense should be good enough to carry them. QB Brady Cook and ELITE WR Luther Burden III are back as well as WRs Theo Wease Jr and Mookie Cooper. Sophomore TE Brett Norfleet has the makings of a superstar and the OL is a Top 12 Unit in the nation at the position. Transfer RBs Marcus Carroll and Nate Noel will be very good also. The schedule is quite easy for the Tigers, they’ll go 4-0 in Non Conference and they get Arkansas, Vandy & Miss St in SEC play. The toughest game on the schedule is @ Alabama on October 26th.
● I have Kalen DeBoer and Alabama getting back to the CFP in 2024. A lot of people expect this program to fall off without Nick Saban but this team has the talent to get back to the postseason. I don’t think this team is elite or anything like some years but Alabama will sneak in at 10-2.
● I really do think this LSU team is going to be scary. I absolutely love the O-Line and WRs and believe Garrett Nussmeier will be really good. Harold Perkins Jr is one of the top Linebackers in CFB and future 1st round pick. I have LSU going 9-3 (5-3) but I wouldn’t be surprised if this team went 10-2.
● Tennessee is a big wildcard for me because I have Nico Iamaleava as the biggest breakout candidate at QB for 2024 and tbh their success depends heavily on his play. If Nico plays to his potential I could see the Vols going 10-2.
● The Aggies avoid Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Ole Miss in SEC play so I could see this team with a ceiling of 9-3 and floor of 7-5. A&M lost RB Reuben Owens for the season and I was expecting a big year from him.
● Auburn has phenomenal Freshman WRs and they add KeAndre Lambert Smith from PSU, TE Rivaldo Fairweather is a Top 15 Tight End in CFB but the biggest question mark is at QB, can Payton Thorne be more than an average QB? If he can this team could possibly go 8-4 but 7-5 is a fair prediction IMO.
● I have Kentucky and Oklahoma both going 7-5 (3-5). Both teams I’d say have a ceiling of 9-3 and floor of 6-6.
● South Carolina is a hard team to predict. I think QB LaNorris Sellers has a breakout season and does very well and the same goes for WR Nyck Harbor. My biggest question marks are at OL & LB. The schedule also has tons of challenges as the Gamecocks face off vs UK, LSU, Ole Miss, Alabama, OU, A&M, Missouri and Clemson.
● UF could be the best team in CFB that goes 5-7 or 6-6 this season just because the SCHEDULE IS BRUTAL, the Gators have the toughest schedule in all of CFB. If the Gators were in the ACC this team would win 8+ games.
● I really love Coach Pittman & Coach Lea & hope they do better than my prediction.
