RISING: Which SEC Team Can IMPROVE Most from Last Year? 2025 SEC Outlook Not As Easy As You Think

Chris Gordy and Chris Marler dissect the 2025 SEC football outlook, analyzing TEXAS' chances against established powerhouses. The duo examines GEORGIA BULLDOGS' favorable home schedule and TENNESSEE VOLUNTEERS' quarterback situation post-Nico Iamaleava. LSU TIGERS' transfer portal strategy and SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS' potential with Spencer Rattler take center stage in the middle-tier team breakdown. Georgia's tough games are at home, giving them an edge. Tennessee's QB situation with Aguilar is intriguing. Which team do you think has the best shot at making it to Atlanta in December?

Six teams finished 5-3 last year, showing great parity. Marler thinks Alabama, LSU, and South Carolina could step up. LSU's portal moves were impressive, adding starters not just depth. What's your take on the middle of the pack? Any dark horses you're eyeing?

And which teams that finished at the bottom could be a RISER in 2025? The AUBURN TIGERS could see a resurgence under Hugh Freeze this season, while OKLAHOMA could make a run if their offense dramatically improves with John Mateer and Ben Arbuckle. 

Interesting chat about potential coaching changes. Pittman could step down following next season at Arkansas, Stoops could be out at Kentucky if they underperform again. Venables needs to improve at Oklahoma or he's in trouble. Which coach do you think is on the hottest seat heading into the season?

Tune in for expert predictions on which SEC teams will rise, fall, and shock in 2025!
