So far this season, the SEC East has been extremely balanced, with all six teams within one game of each other. Florida Georgia, and South Carolina lead the way at 3-2, while Tennessee and Kentucky sit at 2-2, and Vanderbilt is at 2-3. Let's predict the standings at the end of the year.
1. Florida
The Gators only losses in the conference have been to SEC West foes Auburn and LSU. The Gators must give the Dawgs their annual whoopin this weekend in Jacksonville, and then beat USC in Columbia in 3 weeks to finish the slate. Prediction: Finish 6-2, win SEC East.
2. South Carolina
The Gamecocks struggled this weekend in losing to Vanderbilt, and seem to have lost any chance at sharing the Eastern division title as well. They have three tough games left, against disappointing Tennessee and Arkansas, and then hosting the Gators. Prediction: Finish 5-3, 2nd in SEC East.
2. Kentucky
The Wildcats have been the surprise team in the league this season. Their toughest games are behind them in Florida and LSU, but still must travel to Athens to take on Georgia. However, for the Cats, Tennessee comes to Commonwealth Stadium this year. Prediction: Finish 5-3, 2nd in SEC East.
4. Georgia
Georgia must go to Jacksonville this weekend for the Cocktail Party, and then host Auburn and Kentucky to end the SEC schedule. They'll split the last two games and end up with a .500 record in the league. Prediction: Finish 4-4, 4th in SEC East.
4. Tennessee
The Vols will split the remainder of their games, winning against Arkansas and Vandy, but losing to USC and Kentucky. They will finish 7-5 overall, leading to the end of the Fulmer era in Knoxville. Prediction: Finish 4-4, 4th in SEC East.
6. Vanderbilt 
Every year Vandy has one big upset, and this year's victim was USC. Georgia almost was the first victim the previous week, but a late fumble ended the 'Dores chances of that one. It looks like they'll end the year with the 2 wins they currently have, as they play Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Prediction: 2-6, 6th in SEC East.
