I'm not sure if Arkansas is better than Georgia and Auburn. Seems they're ranked a little high.

Florida the 3rd team in the country? They replace Tebow and an entire Defense.

Arkansas is about right IMO

Auburn, Georgia, and LSU all have serious questions marks. I think Auburn could make a run at the top 10, but if we beat them at home they're a wash for the year.

I just don't see them being a top 30 team this year, even with the weed smoking thief at QB.</p>

I think there's a lot of carryover goodwill from the last 2 seasons, plus an SEC boost going on there. No way they're anywhere near a top 30 team on the field, but with their schedule they could possibly squeeze out enough wins to stay ranked that high all season.
