The SEC Media Days in Hoover again created many storylines that the Southern-Fried football fans can take home or to work for debate.

A little more than 70 of the 850-plus media members who showed up in Alabama took time to vote on which teams would play for the SEC title.

Nonetheless, I have to take time to disagree with the small number who voted Auburn and Florida to win their respective divisions.

Those picks are justifiable.

However, I don’t agree.

I have a hard time wondering how anybody could pick against the LSU Tigers to capture the SEC West again.

I know, the media likes Tommy Tuberville more than Les Miles.

Not only does Miles wear a baseball cap worse than any SEC coach in history, he will never grade high in a course of how to win friends and influence others.

Okay, back to why I originally decided to speak out.

LSU is the best team in the west.

The question in Baton Rouge is who is going to play quarterback. With the abundance of talent the Tigers have it’s obvious that a quarterback who doesn’t make mistakes will be able to lead the charge.
So, why not the defending national champs to win the SEC West?

And yes, Auburn will be the runner-up.

The SEC East is crazy.

Georgia, Florida and Tennessee are all very good and capable of getting on a winning streak.

Tennessee has to have a strong performance from Jonathan Crompton at quarterback.

Of course, Georgia has Matthew Stafford and Florida has "Superman" Tim Tebow at quarterback.

I think Tennessee will beat Georgia or Florida, and the Dogs will get the Gators again. I also believe LSU will beat Florida.

But, I believe Georgia will survive the East and play LSU in a rematch of the Oct. 18 game.

STUMP SAYS:

EAST
