Auburn because there's the unwritten rule that a minimum of one slot per year must go to an SEC team and because Nick Saban figures to retire before Kirby Smart (blocking Florida) does.

Ehh, we lost to UGA by 7 this year.  It's not like there's a big disparity there....

Florida, especially while FSU is down.  It makes the end of the year tolerable. 
This is 2020. Language skills are important so you must parse. FSU was down is more correct.

Florida could be good again next year.  They need a top tier QB, and may be close.  No reason they can't beat UGA obviously.  LSU is at home this year.

Florida.  They have built in advantages that other teams do not.  Auburn could certainly make a case.  No Texas or USC?

Texas and USC are helmet schools, so they're in the "which helmet" thread.

Good point.  But wouldn't Florida be considered a "helmet" school?  Miami has struggled a lot recently...but I'd argue that they'd be considered a helmet school as well.

The definition of a "helmet school" is discussed pretty regularly around here, probably even a thread on the front page of this forum if I looked down far enough.  Regardless, the original poster decided on which schools he'd define as helmets and Florida and Miami aren't included.
