SEC Predictions: Want Some Surprises?

We wouldn't be shocked to see these happenings in the SEC in 2008:

How about Georgia QB Matt Stafford outperforming Florida's Tim Tebow this year?

How about Arkansas losing two 1,000-yard rushers and finding yet another in Michael Smith?

Alabama and Nick Saban still struggle, at least for half the season, to live up to the Tide fans' expectations (Tuscaloosa News picked Bama No. 6 IN THE NATION).

Bama finally beats Tuberville and Auburn. Tiger fans hang their coach in effigy. He says "what the heck" and goes deer hunting in Arkansas.

LSU and Les Miles finally lose THREE games in one season.

Vanderbilt finally wins six games in a season under Bobby Johnson and makes it to a bowl. And you-know-what freezes over.

Tennessee underperforms the national expectations, and Phil Fulmer takes a coaching sabbatical.

Ole Miss and Houston Nutt set the world afire for two months, then fold up like a cheap pup tent in November and end season with a one-point loss to Mississippi State.
