The SEC football season will be here soon enough. Week 0 kicks off at the end of August, and Week 1 officially begins on Thursday, August 28.
But for right now, it’s talking season. SEC Media Days begin on July 14. But as we prepare for the Fourth of July holiday, let’s get bold with some predictions for 2025.
Can Georgia repeat as the SEC champion? Will Vanderbilt pull off more upsets? Is Florida a looming College Football Playoff contender? Will Oklahoma‘s new-look offense surprise?
We asked Grok, X’s AI assistant, to make some bold predictions for the upcoming season. It certainly didn’t disappoint! (Alabama fans might not be happy with the second prediction, though.)
This is what Grok had to say about a few bold predictions for the SEC in 2025:
Here are my five boldest predictions for the 2025 SEC football season, based on current roster dynamics, schedules, and trends, while considering the Georgia Bulldogs’ quarterback situation and the broader SEC landscape:
1. Georgia Wins the SEC with Gunner Stockton as a Heisman Finalist
Despite losing Carson Beck, Georgia’s Gunner Stockton steps up as the starting quarterback and leads the Bulldogs to the SEC Championship. Stockton, who showed promise in the 2024 SEC title game, throws for over 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns, leveraging Georgia’s elite defense and running game (led by Nate Frazier). His dual-threat ability makes him a surprise Heisman finalist, and Georgia edges Texas in a rematch to claim the conference crown.
2. Vanderbilt Upsets Alabama and Finishes 8-4
Vanderbilt, led by veteran quarterback Diego Pavia, shocks Alabama in Tuscaloosa early in the season, capitalizing on Alabama’s quarterback transition post-Jalen Milroe. The Commodores’ improved defense and Pavia’s playmaking lead them to an 8-4 record, including wins over Kentucky and Missouri, making them a dark-horse bowl team with a top-25 ranking.
3. Mississippi State Wins 6 Games with Blake Shapen
After a winless SEC season in 2024, Mississippi State, under Jeff Lebby, surprises with a 6-6 record. Quarterback Blake Shapen, returning from injury, throws for 3,000 yards, and running back Davon Booth emerges as an All-SEC talent. The Bulldogs steal wins against Arkansas, Kentucky, and one of Tennessee or Ole Miss, securing a bowl bid.
4. Florida Reaches the College Football Playoff with DJ Lagway
Despite facing the nation’s toughest schedule, Florida, led by sophomore quarterback DJ Lagway, finishes 10-2 and earns an at-large College Football Playoff berth. Lagway, a Heisman contender, throws for 4,000 yards and accounts for 40 total touchdowns, with upset wins over Texas A&M and Tennessee. The Gators’ strong finish in 2024 and improved offensive line fuel their breakout.
5. Oklahoma Leads the SEC in Total Offense
Oklahoma, coming off a disappointing 2024, transforms its offense under new coordinator Ben Arbuckle and quarterback John Mateer. Mateer, paired with running back Jadyn Ott, averages over 450 yards per game, leading the SEC in total offense. The Sooners finish 9-3, with upset wins over Alabama and Tennessee, signaling a strong second year in the SEC.
