Preseason
Florida head coach Urban Meyer retired in early December citing his health concerns and wanting to be around his family more.[1] Meyer then joined ESPN as an analyst for its college football coverage during the 2011 season.[2] In his place Florida hired Texas defensive coordinator Will Muschamp as the new head coach.[3] Muschamp elected to bring in former Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis as his offensive coordinator.[3]
Vanderbilt interim head coach Robbie Caldwell had a tough year in 2010 with injuries and tough schedule, going 2–10.[4] The school decided to search for a new coach to replace former head coach Bobby Johnson, who retired unexpectedly in July 2010.[4] Vanderbilt hired Maryland offensive coordinator James Franklin, and this is Franklin's first head coaching job.[4]
LSU decided to part ways with offensive coordinator Gary Crowton because of a lack of offensive production the previous seasons.[5] In his place LSU hired former Louisville head coach Steve Kragthorpe.[6]
Kentucky added new schemes to its defense by adding former Cincinnati head coach Rick Minter as its co-defensive coordinator alongside Steve Brown.[7]

Per BCS selection rules, no more than two teams from a conference may be selected, regardless of whether they are automatic qualifiers or at-large selections, unless two non-champions from the same conference are ranked No. 1 and No. 2 in the final BCS Standings. As the SEC champion Louisiana State was the top-ranked team in the BCS poll, the Sugar Bowl was prohibited from selecting an SEC representative for the 2011–12 season.
