This isn't even a question- it's South Carolina by a country mile. They're the most pathetic program in SEC history.
They've been in a football conference for 70 years. They've won one conference championship. Read that again. 70 years of chances, 1 title. They've been in the SEC for two decades and haven't won it yet. They've only played for it once.
The year that they won their conference title in the ACC they were 7-4. Want to know how bad the rest of the ACC was that year? Not a single other ACC team ended the season with a winning record. The second place finisher, NC State finished 3-2-1 in conference and 3-6-1 overall.
The year that they won the East in 2010, they were the only eastern division team with a winning conference record. The East was terrible that year. The worst in a long, long time.
As you can see, the only times in 70 years that South Carolina has even had modest football success have been when every other team around them tanked. The likelihood that's going to happen this year is very, very low. Florida will be good, UGA will be good, and USC will fight it out with the rest of the East for 3rd place.

I think Carolina would be the biggest surprise. LSU has been there done that.
However, I do not think any SEC team even plays in the BCSNCG this year. Not that whoever wins the SEC would not be the best team in the country, I think they would be.
But I just think, with some of the other conferences being do down , that there may be 2-3 undefeated teams. And Zi just don't think a one loss SEC team gets in above a undefeated BIG, ACC, PAC, BXII, or Louisville.
OSU, LOUISVILLE, STANFORD, OREGON, FSU could all go undefeated, even though I think it's highly unlikely FSU does with playing UF.

I really hope you're a Georgia fan because it is SO nice to be nestled under your skin.

just so we're clear we've only been in conference football for about 40yrs or so if you combine our time in the sec and the acc thanks
but it's still not as pathetic as GA having top recruiting classes year after year and still not being able to win shite
