Roundtable: Auburn Wire writers reveal their preseason SEC rankings

.

The SEC football season gets underway in three weeks, which means it is time for the return of the Auburn Wire Roundtable.

The debut roundtable feature for the 2024 season focuses on predicting the SEC’s order of finish ahead of the new year. Taylor Jones and Brian Hauch return to the roundtable while Tyler Raley is new to the party.
