Too many people are bringing up the QBs.
When is the last time that a QB has won the East with their arm?
Downgrading UGA, UF, or USCe because of the starting QB is foolish.
The team who runs the football the best wins.
Last year, it was Missouri.
The year before that, it was UGA.
USCe and UGA have the best tailbacks in the East.
Missouri loses the most on the ground (Josey and Franklin).
Tennessee and Florida are just trying to find themselves offensively.
Whomever runs the football the best wins the East.
I'd flip a coin 50/50 between UGA and USCe
Here's the production on the ground from their RBs/QBs Georgia, USC, and Mizzou are bringing back from last season.
Georgia:
1,851 yards
4.4 ypc
19 rushing TDs
USC:
1,712 yards
5.2 ypc
19 rushing TDs
Mizzou:
1,559 yards
5.8 ypc
15 rushing TDs

I've said it a time or two - USCe fans will inevitably think I'm just trying to get under their skin - but I'm genuinely interested to see how their running game changes, for better or worse, this year without Shaw. Thompson and Shaw are not similar QBs in that regard.

The best running team is not the team with the most yards or yards per run.
Running the football on 1st and 2nd down racks up meaningless stats.
Money downs are 3rd and/or goalline.
Can a team efficiently move the chains on 3rd and 2. Or are they going to go to the air a lot (UGA went to the air a lot in 2013).
Can a team punch it in from the redzone on the ground? Or will they go to the air?
Crucial games are won and lost in these scenarios in the SEC.
The rushing TDs is the number that I would focus upon unless you want to dig deep into number of third down rushing attempts versus the number of third down rushing conversions per back.
