The SEC remained No. 1 in the AP rank and second in the computers.

It's time to take a look into our own crystal balls here on the SEC blog. Now that bowl season is over, we're taking a look at some potential breakout players for the 2013 season. We are looking for guys who made the jump like Alabama's Amari Cooper and T.J. Yeldon, or Georgia's Todd Gurley. Players like Florida's Mike Gillislee, South Carolina's Ace Sanders and LSU's Kevin Minter are also great examples of what we're looking for. Now will these candidates be as spectacular as the guys above? We'll have to wait to find out -- but we think they have the ability to make a difference next fall. Players who earned first- or second-team All-SEC honors from either the media or the league's coaches weren't eligible for our list. We're starting with the SEC East. We'll take a look at five offensive players to keep an eye on in 2013 and then move over to the defense later today.
