By the writers at SEC media days. Auburn is picked to win the West. I'm a bit surprised by this, Georgia got only about half the votes the Gators got. Gators Picked To Win SEC
That is suprising Bill, no doubt the national media thinks this years Bulldog team is one of their best in years. Many point to what is percieved to be a tough schedule for Georgia, maybe that's why the SEC media pick Fla and maybe they feel like Meyer and Tebow will have the advantage in emotion when they meet due to the stunt Richt pulled last year. One thing is for sure, the team that wins the SEC (and the each division) will have to do it on the field...polls don't count. Terry
Not in an effort to rehatch old arguments but Rivals sees Auburn as a major player in the national title race ranking them 7th in the preseason poll. http://collegefootball.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=830099
As far as the media overwhelmingly picking the Gators, I am a bit surprised. I guess the media is smarter than I give them credit for. When I think about Georgia, I can't help but think about their Oline getting completely dominated by Tennessee's less than great Dline last season. I'm just not buying the Dawgs just yet.
Gotta watch it Aquila Tailback might come back and show a video of Marino running through the Gator defense again. But I happen to agree with you, Georgia really didn't show much until the Gator game and could have had at least one more loss, to Vandy! They better not start slow this year or they will be out of the running very early. Plus they have an extremely hard schedule and play LSU the week before they play the Gators.
