It's about time for our annual fall previews to start. We haven't made many major changes to our set of previews over the years, but we will be ditching our preseason award predictions (our internal data showed people were mostly skipping over that article) and replacing it with something else. The "something else" isn't completely finalized at the moment, and it might not come at the beginning of the publication cycle this year.

First up will be our top 25 poll, our All-SEC team and our unit ratings. Other previews include Who’s up, who’s down heading into 2014 and our projections for Which Alabama freshmen will play?

Next up after that we'll start going around the SEC:

SEC WEST
Previews 2014: Alabama Crimson Tide
Previews 2014: Arkansas Razorbacks
Previews 2014: Auburn Tigers
Previews 2014: LSU Tigers
Previews 2014: Ole Miss Rebels
Previews 2014: Mississippi State Bulldogs
Previews 2014: Texas A&M Aggies

SEC EAST
Previews 2014: Florida Gators
Previews 2014: Georgia Bulldogs
Previews 2014: Kentucky Wildcats
Previews 2014: Missouri Tigers
Previews 2014: South Carolina Gamecocks
Previews 2014: Tennessee Volunteers
Previews 2014:Vanderbilt Commodores

Re: FYI, previews are starting soon.

It's a goodie! Getting close to my favorite time of the year. And Jess' previews are one of my favorite gifts of the season, along with his pre-game analyses throughout the year.

Re: FYI, previews are starting soon.

Hooray! My favorite things to read are Jess Nichols articles on Bama and college football in general.

Jess, will you be doing the "Crimson on Demand" podcasts again this year? I really enjoyed your appearances last year!

Re: FYI, previews are starting soon.

Hey Jess - Wondering if you might do a higher level preview of the other major conferences this year. Don't know if you have ever done that before, but I like your insight and would like to see how you envision the larger picture playng out this season.

Re: FYI, previews are starting soon.

First preview went up tonight. It's a new feature, a brief look at the trends for all 14 teams, which replaces our longstanding Crystal Ball article, that had grown stale.

However, we are having some kind of formatting problem with the articles. Our paragraph/line breaks aren't functioning, which is causing the text to come out in big blocks and it's hard to read. We're aware of the situation and are looking into it.

I'm not opposed to doing it, but I haven't heard anything from the museum lately. I've also got some things going on, job-wise, that are going to prevent me from actually getting to the museum at the time they usually do the podcast. I'll have to see if they'll let me call it in.

I appreciate the comments; I haven't planned to go more in-depth with the other conferences, as it's just not in my area of expertise. Accuracy tends to go down as the distance from home goes up. :) I'd rather let the guys who are in those areas and see those teams every day serve as the voice for those areas.

Re: FYI, previews are starting soon.

As Jess recently mentioned, he has moved back to his hometown but has had technical difficulties (i.e. getting the internet guy to actually connect his house seems to be taking a LOOOONG time). So, he's sent me the preview articles and I'm putting them up today. Sorry for the delay! He hopes to be up and with us this week.
