2. Brian Kelly, LSU

If Alabama really is destined to take a step back in the absence of Nick Saban, it stands to reason that Brian Kelly and his Tigers will pick up the mantle of the SEC's No. 2 team (at least this year).

He led the Tigers to the SEC Championship in his first year at the helm and would've done so again if he had beaten the Tide in Tuscaloosa back in November.
