#14: Vanderbilt Commodores
Vandy just capped off a dreadful 0-9 season, fired their head coach, and play in a division featuring the Florida Gators and Georgia Bulldogs. If there is any sign of improvement on the horizon, I can certainly not see it arriving anytime soon.
#13: South Carolina Gamecocks
A 2-8 run last year, which will be followed up by one orchestrated through a new head coach; is bad enough. What makes matters even worse for the Gamecocks is that the new guy in question, Shane beamer, has never had a gig at HC before. South Carolina will surely be under the radar among SEC football program for a while.
#12: Arkansas Razorbacks
Arkansas’s head coach Sam Pittman has already gotten a season under his belt. However, he lost more than double the times he won. But most coaches will fail to make a team a winner overnight, so the Razorbacks being better off than the last two schools should be expected nonetheless.
