Spring football is about to begin across college football. One college football analyst is looking ahead and predicting the season.
247Sports national college football analyst Brad Crawford shared his record predictions for every SEC football team in 2024. Some records could surprise you.
According to Crawford, the Texas Longhorns (12-2) are set to follow an 11-1 regular season with the same 11-1 record next year. The football analyst puts Texas atop the league with Georgia and Ole Miss both at 11 wins.
The Longhorns’ rivals are given interesting record predictions for the year. The Texas A&M Aggies and Oklahoma Sooners are both given multiple losses. With both teams breaking in a new offensive play caller, it’s uncertain how consistent a product either team will produce in 2024.
Here’s a look at each SEC team’s record prediction in Crawford’s projections.
