If Jones ends up as SEC POY, then we will probably "meet [positive] expectations" as a team, at a minimum.
SEC
Team to beat
Kentucky Wildcats
Big Blue Nation will celebrate again, but it will be more challenging. Vanderbilt, LSU, Texas A&M and Georgia will have something to say.
Player of the year
Damian Jones, Vanderbilt Commodores
I do not like to pick freshmen before they play their first game. Ben Simmons of LSU and several Kentucky players could end up in the mix. Jones is just so valuable for the Commodores.
