re: Dennis Dodd picks 6 SEC teams in top 21 for 2012 football.....

Geez, here we go again with the OU and USC lovefests.....I'm not worried about it...my guess is LSU may start out at #1 based on potential (Bama #2) , and assuming both go undefeated, if Bama beats Michigan like a drum (which I expect), they'll flipflop to #1 with LSU #2.

Assuming both LSU and Bama stay undefeated until they meet, it will be 1 vs 2. If Arky can beat Bama, they won't get to #2, if OU and USC are also undefeated.

One thing for certain....whoever wins the SEC West undefeated will be the national #1 - assuming the other two's only loss is to that team. LSU and Bama pretty much control their own destiny as per a BCSNCG slot - go undefeated and they're in. Arky probably as well, but need for OU and/or USC. Same for the SEC East Champion.

I'm just basing this on the obsession of the national voters with the Big Ten, USC and OU. They all WANT a non-SEC team BCSNGC so bad.

Unless an SEC is undefeated going into the big game, all bets are off....
