Brent Key is now the head coach of Georgia Tech and fans are hoping that he’s going to turn the program back into a winning one. He’ll have his work cut out for him in year one, however.

Haynes King was brought in to replace Jeff Sims and there are some quality transfers on offense that could really turn things back in the right direction. Defensively, the Yellow Jackets aren’t great, but they return six starters. Still, they won’t be able to stop this Ole Miss offense.

Prediction: Win (3-0)

Alabama may have a major question mark at the quarterback position, but we have to remember that this is still Alabama. And Ole Miss doesn’t exactly fare well in Tuscaloosa.

Lane Kiffin will get another crack at beating his former boss but Nick Saban will teach him a lesson or two here. Despite starting hot at 3-0 with a potential top-10 ranking, Ole Miss will be knocked down a couple of pegs after this loss. No set quarterback? No problem for the Crimson Tide.

Prediction: Loss (3-1, 0-1 SEC)
