Southeastern 16's Jay Greeson and Chris Lee preview Tennessee football for the 2025 college football season. Topics include: In case you haven't heard, the Vols have a quarterback change, with Joey Aguilar slated to lead the offense. Tennessee has used three running backs effectively throughout Josh Heupel's career; this year, the Vols return the productive duo of DeSean Bishop and Peyton Lewis and add Duke's Star Thomas in an attempt to replace SEC Player of the Year Dylan Sampson. The Vols don't return a lot of production at wide receiver, but former blue-chip recruit Mike Matthews could have a breakthrough season and tight end Miles Kitselman is a good one. Tennessee added transfers Wendell Moe (Arizona) and Sam Pendleton (Notre Dame) to talented left tackle Lance Heard, who returns. The Vols lost James Pearce Jr. but return a lot of what was a deep front seven last year, with Joshua Josephs, Bryson Eason and Arion Carter leading the way. On the back end, All-American Jermod McCoy, Rickey Gibson and the versatile Boo Carter give Tennessee play-makers there, too. Coach Josh Heupel has always gotten the most out of his rosters. With one of the league's easier schedules, are 10 wins attainable again?
Jake Lyman and Derrick Mason sit down and discuss Josh Heupel and how patient Tennessee fans should be with Nico Iamaleava leaving in the spring transfer portal. Will Vanderbilt be able to make it into the College Football Playoff? Diego Pavia said that he came back to Vanderbilt to play in January. Will they be able to come through on this?

The Southeastern Conference's 2025 football season promises to be one of the most compelling in recent memory, blending established powers with emerging challengers across the league's East and West divisions. At the top of the hierarchy, Alabama enters Year Two under Kalen DeBoer with a revamped offense led by rising junior quarterback Ty Simpson and a receiving corps dotted with true freshman stars. The Tide's veteran secondary—anchored by Domani Jackson and Keon Sabb—should generate turnovers, but Alabama's ability to replace departed playmakers like Jalen Milroe and Justice Haynes will be tested in hostile environments such as Florida State and Wisconsin. Meanwhile, reigning East champion Georgia faces its own transition, having lost a quartet of first-round defensive picks and quarterback Carson Beck, thrusting Gunner Stockton into the spotlight. If Georgia's offensive line coalesces quickly and their rebuilt front seven can replicate past dominance, the Bulldogs remain a threat to run the table and return to the College Football Playoff.Elsewhere in the East, Florida's Billy Napier looks to leverage a healthy DJ Lagway and a power-running duo in Jadan Baugh and Ja'Kobi Jackson to vault the Gators back into SEC contention, while Tennessee reloads rather than rebuilds under Josh Heupel, fielding a new QB battle and a defense hungry to sustain its recent success. South Carolina and Missouri lurk as potential dark horses—the Gamecocks with a ferocious “bend-but-take” defense under Clayton White, and the Tigers riding momentum from consecutive double-digit win seasons under Eliah Drinkwitz. In the West, LSU's Garrett Nussmeier returns after a Heisman-caliber campaign, but must navigate early road tests at Clemson and Ole Miss behind a retooled offensive line. Ole Miss itself, guided by Lane Kiffin, seeks to replace NFL-bound stars with redshirt sophomore Austin Simmons and a dynamic downfield attack. Auburn's Hugh Freeze, Arkansas's Sam Pittman, and Texas A&M's Mike Elko each believe veteran leadership and portal acquisitions can push their programs into the upper echelon of the West, while Kentucky and Mississippi State chase incremental gains to break long-standing slumps.As win totals hover between 7.5 and 9.5 games for the conference's marquee programs, bettors and fans alike will be poring over the odds: Alabama at 9.5, Georgia at 9.5, LSU at 8.5, and Texas A&M at 7.5, with futures on the SEC Championship ranging from +390 for Georgia to +5,000 for Missouri. Sleeper picks like South Carolina (+1,800) and Arkansas (+12,000) could reward those willing to roll the dice, while dark-horse narratives are abundant in Columbia, Fayetteville, and College Station. From the Iron Bowl and Egg Bowl to marquee non-conference clashes, every week carries playoff implications and bets on win totals, record projections, and conference-championship futures. Whether you're drafting your pick'em bracket, targeting over/unders, or simply seeking expert analysis, the SEC's 2025 slate offers drama, storylines, and betting angles that will keep college football junkies glued to their screens from Week 1 through the SEC Championship Game.
