If recent history and the eye test are any indication, the Southeastern Conference's champion will likely come from the West Division. The problem with that forecast is the question that comes next. Who in the world is going to win it?

The premier game on the SEC's schedule in Week 3 will tell us something about Ole Miss' offense and whether Alabama is the same crimson machine. Meanwhile Leonard Fournette and Jeremy Johnson top the league's storylines for opposite reasons.

Texas A&M opened the season with a rousing victory over a preseason top 15 team — but it's done that before. What should lead one to believe this team is different than the 2014 Aggies? The answer will determine their 2015 odds in the West.

Schedule release date? Schedule release date.

The Rebels and Tigers will battle in a rematch of one of 2014's games of the year — but with several new parts. If both have taken care of business, however, the stakes will be all-too-familiar in Week 9's SEC Game of the Week.

The rivalry dates back to 1901, but the stakes haven't been this high in nearly a decade. The SEC Game of the Week in Week 8 pits the upstart Tennessee Volunteers against a re-tooling Alabama machine in Tuscaloosa.

The Crimson Tide, seeking revenge. The Rebels, aiming to legitimize themselves once again. The impact when Alabama and Ole Miss meet in Tuscaloosa will be substantial — and it will be felt all the way in College Station.

The Sooners under new offensive leadership? Or, the Volunteers on the verge of breaking out? When Oklahoma and Tennessee meet in Neyland Stadium, it will have big implications for both — and for a certain Texas A&M star.
