2012 was an incredible season for Ole Miss, in the fact that they beat Mississippi State, won their bowl game, and they had a great recruiting class. Basically, that's what you really need for Ole Miss fans, right?
But what about 2013? Well, the 'recruiting class of the ages' - replete with defensive end Robert Nkemdiche (who - if you believe the reviews - is the second coming of Jadeveon Clowney) - has now touched down in Oxford, and will be strapping pads on and hitting people this September. Hugh Freeze's team will be out to beat Dan Mullen's Mississippi State again, and maybe score an upset

It didn't take long Texas A&M to fit in with the SEC-type of scheduling issue.
Why? Because right now, there's an outcry for schools to schedule more difficult non-confernence teams in a quest for a National Championship.
And what did Texas A&M do? They cancelled their home-and-home games with USC in 2015-6 and Oregon from 2018-9.
The Aggies explanation is a good one - blame it on the SEC.
"During a transition like this (from the Big 12 to the SEC), it's just been a little more difficult trying to schedule. Hopefully, in time, it will straighten itself out," said Texas A&M's

SEC football coaches have voted 13-1 to stay with an eight-game conference schedule, although it has been noted eventually, this will go up a notch, ESPN has reported.
The one coach who voted against staying with eight games was Alabama's Nick Saban.
Florida coach Will Muschamp said that it's going to happen in the future: "Personally, I think we'll end up moving to nine (conference) games eventually....My personal opinion (is) you create an SEC Network, at the end of the day, it's going to be driven by the dollar, and having those games is going to be important, and having enough quality

He may be called The Devil, and he may be called a lot of other worse things by college football and Miami Dolphins fans alike, but you can't fault Nick Saban for campaigning for something that he sees is right.
In 2013, it's the thought of adding one team to every team's existing nine-team schedule.
On the Crimson Caravan's stop in Mobile, he said: "I’m for playing nine conference games; I was the only person that spoke out in favor of it last year...If you increase the size of the league and the number of teams you have in the league then you’ve got to play more games."
He added

Right, it's going to be a quick bunch of predictions this week, because if you're a (or an, for grammar's sake!):
FLORIDA fan and your team can't beat JACKSONVILLE STATE at home
GEORGIA fan and your team can't beat the triple-optioning, cut-blocking, GEORGIA SOUTHERN at home
TEXAS A&M fan and your team, with Johnny Football, Ryan The Receiver and KevinGod, can't beat SAM HOUSTON STATE at home
ALABAMA fan and your team's got Nick 'Not As Imperious As We First Thought' Saban as your coach, can't beat WESTERN CAROLINA at home
SOUTH CAROLINA fan and you've got Jadeveon Clown-Man

There was good news for South Carolina Gamecocks fans:Marcus Lattimore's injury isn't as bad as feared.
A lot of South Carolina fans were fearing that the junior running back's sickening injury in the Gamecocks' victory over Tennessee on Saturday would mean an end to their player's school - and NFL - career. As was Twitter, that suddenly abounded with rumors of fractured femurs and destroyed ligaments.
But South Carolina said in a statement: "University of South Carolina junior running back Marcus Lattimore suffered a significant impact to the front of his right knee during the Tennessee

In Steve Spurrier, South Carolina is coached by one of the greatest coaches the SEC (and College Football), has ever seen. And he's great with doing something from nothing, because South Carolina's not historically Georgia, LSU or Alabama, and yet he can still pick up some immense recruits and sends some great ones to the pros.
This year, South Carolina goes into the season higher thought-of than ever. So can they win the SEC East title, which they missed out on last year?
Last year
Let's get this straight: If they hadn't have had such a sucky SEC conference, they would have won the

Georgia goes into this season – again- as SEC East favorites – simply because of the talent that the school is bringing back all over the field, but especially defensively, where some people have said that the Bulldogs could have one of the best Ds in the conference.
Having said that, Mark Richt has had disciplinary problem after disciplinary problem this year, and that might undermine is progress. Nevertheless, see what we think below...

The Georgia Bulldogs may have won the SEC East and gone 10-4 this year, but it’s not exactly blasphemy in the House of Dog to say

In the days of Eli Manning it might have been a truism to talk about the Rebels and say: “Ole Miss by damn!”, but last season, there was only one ‘damn’ to describe this team: Damn awful.
But can they improve and at least break their SEC losing streak – and give hope to Rebels fans who haven’t had a decent team since 2009?
LAST SEASON
Ole Miss went 2-10 last year under Houston Nutt, who was summarily given his marching orders a month before the season ended - a move that sparked some outrage. And it was no bad thing. The Rebels didn’t lose many close heartbreakers – they
