Tennessee loses Tyler Bray, Arkansas loses Tyler Wilson and Knile Davis, and Auburn is still a mess and has a new coach. MSU's early success in 2012 proved to be smoke & mirrors, but have a good place in the schedule following the Bama/LSU game.

I count 2 tough opponents for a team that will likely prove to be even better than last year. Another 2-3 teams could put up a bit of a fight, but are largely out-gunned. Barring severe injury problems, they should cruise through 8+ of their games on their way to a 10/11 win season.
