Quote Alabama was picked to win the SEC West over Auburn, while the Tigers were also the second choice overall. Quote The media predicts a Alabama-South Carolina matchup in the SEC Championship Game as the Gamecocks were picked to win the East narrowly over Georgia.

WOW Post by: Chechem on December 07, 2014, 07:35:20 AM Last year, the Aubs won the SEC then shipped the bed by losing the NC to FSU (and ending our string of SEC NC wins).
Prediction 2013: Alabama - 182 votes Georgia - 38 South Carolina - 18 Texas A&M - 4 LSU - 1 http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2013/7/18/4533262/sec-preseason-poll-all-sec-team-alabama-jadeveon-clowney Title: Re: LOOK at what was predicted back in July!! WOW Post by: Chechem on December 07, 2014, 07:37:06 AM We won it all during 2012, but the media didn't pick us that year:
Here's the predicted order of finish for the 2012 SEC champion and the votes: 1. LSU - 129 2. Alabama - 65 3. Georgia - 14 4. South Carolina - 6 5. Arkansas - 4 6. Auburn - 2 7. Florida - 1 8. Ole Miss - 1 Title: Re: LOOK at what was predicted back in July!! WOW Post by: Chechem on December 07, 2014, 07:39:14 AM We also won the NC during 2011 (but recall, LSU won the SECCG); the SEC media picked us:
SEC CHAMPION 1. Alabama (98), 2. LSU (29), 3. Arkansas (18), 4. South Carolina (14), 5. Georgia (4), 6. Florida (2), 7. Ole Miss (2) Title: Re: LOOK at what was predicted back in July!!

I didn't keep going back before 2011, but the SEC Champion was seldom the team predicted to win. I think the conference went 7 straight years without predicting the winner. :lol2: Title: Re: LOOK at what was predicted back in July!!

WOW Post by: Chechem on December 07, 2014, 08:26:36 AM Quote SEC media preseason voters have successfully selected champion just four times in the 22-year history of the poll. The correct picks were Florida in 1994 and '95, LSU in 2007 and Florida in 2008. This is just the 5th time in 23 years! http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2014/07/sec_preseason_media_poll_picks.html :o :o :o |
