2009 SEC Conference College Football Predictions - 2009 Odds to Win SEC

2009 SEC Conference College Football Predictions

Florida: The schedule features two gimmes to open with Charleston Southern and Troy at home. Not saying Troy is bad, but they aren’t in the same hemisphere at the Gators. Their first SEC game will be a home contest against Tennessee. Do you think Urban Meyer will run the score up against Lane Kiffin, who accused Meyer of a NCAA recruiting violation? Their toughest games will be a roadie at LSU on Oct. 10, a neutral game vs. Georgia in Jacksonville and a home game against Florida State. If they get past LSU, they should be undefeated going into the SEC Championship game. 2009 Florida College Football Predictions

Georgia: The Bulldogs take on Oklahoma State on the road to start the season, highlighting a very tough schedule. They also face LSU at home and Florida in Jacksonville. Tennessee Tech at home is the only gimme on the schedule. They also take on Arizona State at home and rival Georgia Tech on the road. Richt has a very good team that will go bowling and probably to a major bowl. But their defense and lack of certainty at quarterback keeps them a notch below Florida. 2009 Georgia College Football Predictions

South Carolina: The Gamecocks open with a road game against NC State, then take on Georgia on the road. They also face Florida Atlantic and SC State at home-two gimmes. Getting Florida at home is a benefit and they also end the season with a tough non-conference game against Clemson. If Garcia can stay out of trouble, this should be a very productive and exciting offense. The defense is another story with all the losses, but they should be adequate. Anything less than a 7-6 season (last year’s record) will be extremely disappointing. 2009 South Carolina College Football Predictions

Tennessee: The Vols non-conference schedule opens with Western Kentucky at home and then follows that with UCLA at home. They also have to take on Florida on the road, which could get ugly after Kiffin’s comments concerning Urban Meyer cheating. They also take on Ohio at home, along with Alabama and Ole Miss on the road. They should be improved and with eight home games, they have a shot at a bowl game. 2009 Tennessee College Football Predictions

Kentucky: The Wildcats’ face Miami (OH) in Cincinnati to start the season, and then face Louisville at home. A home game against Florida could be interesting. They also take on UL Monroe and Eastern Kentucky at home. The non-conference schedule is doable, but the conference schedule is brutal, adding tough road games against Auburn, South Carolina, Vandy and Georgia. That makes a bowl game a very difficult task. 2009 Kentucky College Football Predictions

Vanderbilt: This is a pretty good team stuck in a very good division. They just don’t have the offensive firepower to make an impact. What they do have is a schedule that features Western Carolina and Georgia Tech at home, along with Rice and Army on the road. They may need to sweep that slate to make a bowl game this year with such a tough conference schedule. 2009 Vanderbilt College Football Predictions

Ole Miss: The Rebels host LSU and that’s the biggest reason they are picked first. This is a very good team led by an explosive offense and an opportunistic defense. They face Memphis on the road, SE Louisiana at home, along with Northern Arizona and UAB at home. There’s no reason why they can’t be 4-0 in their non-conference schedule and considering they miss Florida and Georgia, this could be a very special season. 2009 Ole Miss College Football Predictions

LSU: The Tigers open at Washington and then host Vandy and Louisiana-Lafayette. They also host Tulane and Louisiana Tech in what should be an easy non-conference schedules. Home games against Florida and Auburn should be tough, along with two huge road games against Georgia, Alabama and Ole Miss. This is an excellent team that does have some concerns at quarterback and on defense. 2009 LSU College Football Predictions

Alabama: The Tide will face Virginia Tech in Atlanta to start the season. It doesn’t get much tougher than that. It gets easier their next two games when they host Florida International and North Texas at home. They also host Chatanooga at home late in the season. Home games against South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas are winnable. The key games will be a home contest against LSU on Nov. 7 and a road game at Ole Miss. This is a good team that you can never doubt because of Saban and that defense. 2009 Alabama College Football Predictions

Arkansas: The Razorbacks open with Missouri State in Little Rock, and also face Texas A&M in Arlington Texas along with Troy and Eastern Michigan at home. It’s a strange non-conference schedule, though the conference slate is very tough with road games at Ole Miss, Florida and LSU, which is absolutely brutal. Arkansas should be a bowl team, but not much more with this tough schedule. 2009 Arkansas College Football Predictions

Auburn: The Tigers face Louisiana Tech at home to start the season and also take on Mississippi State, West Virginia, Furman and Ball State at home. That’s the good news. The bad news is that they face LSU and Georgia on the road, along with Ole Miss at home. With a new coach and system, expect the Tigers to struggle some early on offense. Their defense should be good enough to keep them competitive. 2009 Auburn College Football Predictions

Mississippi State: The Bulldogs face Jackson State at home and then it gets difficult. They go right into the SEC schedule, taking on Auburn and Vandy on the road, before they host LSU. After that, they get back to the non-conference schedule, facing Georgia Tech and Houston at home. They also face Florida and Ole Miss at home. This is a tough schedule for a team that is rebuilding under a new head coach and brand new system. If they find a quarterback, with the new spread system, they’ll obliterate last year’s 15.3ppg average. 2009 Mississippi State College Football Predictions
