re: The Atlanta Journal-Constitution picks SEC East Champion

To address the original OP... I don't think the Vols win the East this year. I still like Mizzou to threepeat with a very talented Georgia team finding a way to screw themselves out of the SECCG. I'm not picking the Vols to finish last though.

Could the Vols win the East? Yes they can and I think they have the talent in some spots to do it. I still think they are missing just a few pieces to make it happen though. I pick the Vols to win 8-9 games this year and be a spoiler in the race for the East.
