Yeah, the Eagles certainly have their questions as well. And if Lee was having an awesome camp and clearly took the starting role, I might feel differently. And if he ends up starting and rolling up 500+ yards on Troy and North Texas, my opinion might change as well.

But I think you also have to give the edge to Auburn in the QB question overall right now. Superstar (5-star) young kid who was a very limited-role guy last season having to learn the offense and journeyman unspecial QB who knows the offense well vs. really good (4-star) young kid who was redshirted last year and … Hatch.

So who’s Auburn’s starting QB, Kodi Burns or Chris Todd? I think the Plainsmen have some testing to go through on their offense, as well.

I’m pretty much of the same mind on LSU and its QB situation, but I want to give them one of those three, making them 10-2. I think it’s most likely the Auburn game, which I believe comes down to a defensive battle that LSU’s D wins for them. But then Florida figures out how to take advantage of LSU’s inexperienced QB and the rest goes as you predicted.
