SEC Media Days has begun and it appears, at least so far, that everyone is oddly on their best behavior. I haven’t heard anything remotely controversial and that’s a little surprising considering Lane Kiffin took the podium on Monday. Hugh Freeze spoke on Tuesday morning. I’ll have a lot more to say about his comments next week, but here’s my prediction for the SEC football order of finish in 2025.

1. Texas (11-1; 7-1) – Arch Manning is the talk of college football even though he hasn’t proven anything quite yet. The Longhorns made it to Atlanta last year and basically have the same schedule in 2025. It’s déjà vu all over again.
