I think the main contenders are UF, LSU and S. Carolina.
UF - way too much talent to finish 6-7 with 2 SEC wins. The team imploded on Mullen. That won't happen with Napier and they have a potential star at QB. Added a couple starters in portal, including RB Montrell Johnson who scored 12 TDs as a freshmen at La Tech.
S. Carolina - won the transfer portal when they got Rattler and then they kept going and added about 5 more starters from the portal. Their QB play last year was as bad as you will see in a power 5 conference. That won't be the case in 22.
LSU - too much talent to finish 6-7 with 3 SEC wins. Plus they finished 3rd in portal rankings and added a lot. They have to replace a good starting Qb (Max Johnson - who threw for 27 TDs and only 6 picks) and not sure who that will be.
