re: Predict the SEC Fball Champion for 2014 (and east/west champs)

I have to believe Bama is the favorite in the West next year. Auburn, amazing as their turnaround was, almost certainly won't have the remarkable run of fortuitous bounces they got this year. LSU lost what feels like half their team and whoever ends up starting at QB will be a better runner than passer. Ole Miss just seems to be holding steady in the 4-5 loss range, and A&M is a four loss team next year until the defense proves otherwise.

MSU could actually surprise some next year I feel. tFlagship will remain somewhere on the bottom of the Atlantic.

Yes, Bama is replacing their starting QB but the last time they did that they won the MNC. They are just so stacked from top to bottom. They are what LSU could be every year if Les Miles didn't call in sick 3-4 Saturdays every fall.
