Auburn picked to win the West

Auburn is the runaway choice to win the Southeastern Conference West Division in Tommy Tuberville's 10th season as head coach..

Reporters attending Southeastern Conference Media Days gave the Tigers 48 firrst-place votes to LSU's 21. Ole Miss got one vote.

Florida was picked to win the East and the overall SEC championship.

Tuberville said he was somewhat surprised to be picked at the top with ucertainty at quarterback, where sophomore Kodi Burns and junior college transfer Chris Todd will compete for the starting job, but he acknowledged that LSU also has questions at quarterback.

The Tigers, Tuberville said, can make a run at it if players deal with the expectations in the right way.

"The experienced guys will understand that's more talk than anything and has nothing to do with reality," Tuberville said. "We have a lot of room for improvement. We have two new coordinators who really don't have a clue about this league.

"You have to have a plan. We have a great plan going into two-a-days trying to get the most out of this team. If we can get the most out of this team, we'll give it a run."

Here is the voting breakdown:

WESTERN DIVISION


1. Auburn (48) 99

2. LSU (21) 120

3. Alabama 228

4. Mississippi State 299

5. Ole Miss 338

6. Arkansas 386

EASTERN DIVISION

1. Florida (45) 98

2. Georgia (23) 121

3. Tennessee (2) 222

4. South Carolina 266

5. Kentucky 356

6. Vanderbilt 407

Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall said, "Guys don't mind hitting Michael Vick in the open field, but when you see Cam, you have to think about how you're going to tackle him. He's like a big tight end coming at you."

The preseason curse is geared more towards the team picked to with the SEC overall, which doesn't bode well for Florida.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

You can keep a wooden stake in your trunk
On the off-chance that the fairy tales ain't bunk
And Imma keep a bottle of that funk
To get motel parking lot, balcony crunk.

I would submit that Franklin is intimately familiar with this league.  It was, after all, his association with an SEC school and the tales he told from said association that led to his falling out of favor with some programs.

On a side note, Tommy Tuberville in his press conference said that If they had to go today that Burns would be the starter.   Thank God.
