This year the SEC is going to be a very competitive conference. In the AP Poll Preseason Top 25, they are repersented by 7 teams: Alabama (2), LSU (4), South Carolina (12), Arkansas (14), Mississippi State (20), Georgia (22) and Florida (23). I think once again the National Champion will come from the SEC. I think the SEC Championship game will be between Alabama and South Carolina. The only other team that could win the East Division would be Florida, but I doubt they will win the East with a first time head coach, Will Muschamp. The West Division will be very competitive. LSU will compete with Alabama for the West title, but they will face a tough matchup early in the season against the Oregon Ducks. I do think LSU will win that game even though Oregon is ranked higher. I think Oregon goes undefeated every year because they play a weaker schedule than all the SEC teams. If a SEC team moved to the PAC 12, they would go undefeated almost every year. Therefore, LSU will win based on the experience gained from playing a much harder schedule than Oregon.
Mark Your Calendar for these SEC Matchups:
