Sports The faculty football panorama is going to stumble on so much varied this season, the SEC in particular.
With the addition of Oklahoma and Texas — both of which left the Large 12 — the SEC will eradicate its divisions and in its build maintain all 16 groups compete in opposition to one yet another. With that, the SEC Championship Sport will feature the tip two groups in the conference standings at the discontinue of the customary season, in desire to the 2 division winners.
Texas, in its first season in the SEC, is tied for the supreme projected get total for this upcoming season alongside Georgia.
After a audacious 2023 campaign, by which he led Texas to a College Football Playoff berth, Quinn Ewers will return as the initiating QB for the Longhorns.
Nonetheless, many imagine Georgia is serene the team to beat in the SEC in 2024.
The Bulldogs return 16 starters, at the side of preseason Heisman accepted Carson Beck (+750) and star defensive support Malaki Starks.
And the supreme alternate? After 17 seasons, Gash Saban will no longer be the highest coach at Alabama. Can Kalen DeBoer maintain his big footwear with the Tide?

How will Kalen DeBoer address being Alabama’s next head coach? FOX Sports actions playing analyst Geoff Schwartz offers his simplest future bets throughout the SEC.
Texas Over/Under 10.5 wins
The Longhorns are formally in the SEC for 2024, and their agenda is littered with ability losses.
I’m wagering they are going to lose two of their 12 games.
Texas is fresh off a College Football Playoff look and whereas expectations are rightfully high, the team is dazzling no longer as impartial because it became as soon as final season. The Longhorns misplaced two receivers, two defensive tackles and one running support, all drafted in the principle 52 picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Whereas Texas did reload at the receiver aim during the portal, and I wouldn’t doubt the Texas offense below head coach Steve Sarkisian, I judge it’s dazzling to interrogate the defense heading into this season. Closing season’s defense became as soon as one amongst the higher objects at stopping the flee but build collectively unhappy performances stopping the pass in opposition to groups with competent passing attacks. Now, their two simplest flee-stuffing defensive tackles are in the NFL, and it’s unlikely any of the replacements are as impartial.
What occurs to the passing defense without a flee up the middle? I peril it’s sufficient to payment them two games.
Texas has a two-game stretch in opposition to Oklahoma in Dallas, adopted by web hosting Georgia. They want to reduce up these games in expose to build above the 10-get label. Clearly, a success both is doubtless, but beating Georgia after Oklahoma looks love a complicated job.
That leaves Texas without a margin for error on their get total. One extra loss — presumably on Thanksgiving weekend at Texas A&M, when Mike Elko has A&M playing impartial ball — and I acquire my Under 10 wins wager to money.
Texas is firmly a 10-get team and I’ll wager on it.
PICK: Texas Under 10.5 wins
Alabama & Oklahoma headline RJ Younger’s Pre-Spring top 11-25 groups heading into 2024 Alabama to get the SEC
If you requested me to choose on a conference winner with none playing odds tied to my acknowledge, I’d default to Georgia in 2024. Nonetheless, I judge +700 is simply too simply to pass up for an Alabama team that’s some distance extra loaded with expertise than we give them credit rating for.
Sure, Alabama went through a practising alternate, with Gash Saban retiring and Kalen Deboer taking on for the account. Some gamers transferred, but DeBoer became as soon as capable of defend a impartial amount of the roster and elevate in his beget gamers.
All over the converse he’s coached, the a success has adopted at as soon as.
DeBoer took over a 4-8 Washington program that became as soon as in entire disarray, and inner two years, the Huskies were playing for a championship. DeBoer has a outstanding 104-12 account over five years at Sioux Falls (three-time national champion), two years at Fresno Convey and two at Washington (Pac-12 champions).
The Alabama agenda sets up smartly for an look in the SEC title game if it handles the industry in entrance of them. Georgia is at home after a bye week. Bama is at LSU after a bye week and at Tennessee in between home games in opposition to South Carolina and Missouri.
This quantity for them to get the conference title would possibly perhaps well no longer be higher, and it’s something to maintain for your support pocket later in the season.
PICK: Alabama to get the SEC (+700)
RJ Younger and Dave Helman talk about the system forward for faculty quarterbacks in the 2024 season Ole Miss at Florida
Florida has a bye on Oct. 26, but then the relaxing begins. These are its next four games: Georgia in Jacksonville, Texas in Austin, LSU at home, adopted by Ole Miss to entire the four-game stretch.
That’s four straight top-12 groups.
That stretch would possibly perhaps well discontinue Billy Napier’s time at Florida and his team will seemingly be exhausted by the level the Rebels approach to Gainesville. Ole Miss will the truth is maintain a bye week to put collectively for its outing to The Swamp.
This quantity will seemingly be smartly over a touchdown by kickoff. Jump on this now earlier than the season starts.
PICK: Ole Miss (-6.5) to get by extra than 6.5 points
