2009 Early SEC Lookaheads

Ole Miss
CFN 2008 Preseason Prediction: 6-6 Final Record: 9-4

Why to get excited: This was a relatively young team last year that grew up as the season went on, and now the experience should pay off. Eight starters return on defense, including ends Marcus Tillman, Kentrell Lockett, and Greg Hardy from one of the nation’s most active lines. The offense loses OT Michael Oher, WR Mike Wallace, and OG Maurice Miller, but gets everyone else of note back. The SEC road schedule is as easy as can be reasonably asked for going to Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Auburn and Mississippi State. (more)
