Samford has improved every year under Sullivan and look to be tough in 2013.

I agree with Cid1990. The SoCon is going to be stout in 2013. GSU will be top 5 and App will be top 5-10 for sure, Wofford will still be very good- top 15 likely, Chatty in particular and Samford should both be playoff contenders and top 20, and Citadel should be tough as usual.

I can't see 5 getting in but I can sure see 4 getting in next year. Defending home field in the conference will be an even bigger deal than usual in 2013.
