Some teams are looking to improve upon their record from the previous season, but these five teams are looking to shock the world on their way to the top of the SEC.

Ole Miss, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Tennessee and Vanderbilt are the five dark horse teams that can all make a run at the top spots in the SEC, but no one is expecting it.

Yes, they’ll have to knock off the power players like Saban and Malzahn, but these are the middle of the road, sleeper-type teams that can make a push for the top of the SEC East and West.

These teams could even be facing off for the SEC title in December.
