Alabama was the preseason favorite to win the SEC last year.
Among the media. Not among those on this board. They will more than likely be the preseason favorite to make it back to Atlanta again this year. Why? Because, on paper, they are the most talented team in the SEC.

Preseason polls are pointless. The SEC will be another gauntlet that will see many great teams lose to good teams.
That being said -
AU will be solid (barring injuries) with a stud at QB and a very good defensive coaching staff. 40 pts should win all games this year.
UA will be much better on defense because their line is going to be the best in football. That will hide talent gaps in the secondary. Their offense will be average at best. (QB position is shaky.) I don't think they will give up many points if they learn to cover the bomb.
I suspect the rest of the west to be good as usual and capable of beating UA and AU if they don't bring their A game. There isn't a weak team in the West. Anybody could win it.
The East is still weak. UGA has to be favored because of Chubb and all the 5* star talent. Mizzou will probably win it again because thats just what they do. UT will choke and everyone else will suck.
As for the rest - Ohio State is the only team that will be able to beat the SEC. The rest are just pretenders.

Not among those on this board.
