Almost time for football ! Let's Vote !
-
I voted Georgia.
-
Voted LSU.
I honestly think it's up for grabs between Bama, Texas, UGA, and LSU.
-
ala & ga have more difficult sched's which made it easy to vote tx to win the league. i like probably lsu to get there & lose to them due to their comparably favorable sched.

Has anyone been more accurate than Vegas in picking such things?

If I could bet one dollar, I would choose South Carolina (to win $33 if I understand the odds).
I suspect the CG will not be a rematch from last season. But then I don't really know what to think about Bama and LSU.
-
The media only gets it right like half the time.
I don't think anyone is super great. Unless Deboer is a bad HC, Bama is great and only needs 'okay' QB play to be elite.
-
I voted Georgia.
So did I. We make two.

CD trying desperately not to upset the ecfgs, so he won't vote for his own team... :)

Yes.
Of course, one could say that about you too.

Nah 'cause I actually believe Georgia is going to win the SEC.

I watched a bit of a few "prediction shows" on Youtube. None of them "know" either of course. They all make guesses because they have to ($$$), and nobody in December will check their accuracy (nor mine). Vegas odds are "always right", in a sense. I suspect they make money on every conference champ odds they list, it's a near mathematical certainty with the vig.
Basically, the most probable winner is Texas, with UGA and Bama pretty close behind, and LSU close behind them, then a drop off.
Last year of course UGA and Texas played in the CG and it went into OT, so neither team dominated. UGA was playing with a backup QB much of the game, but he did pretty well. Games like that usually come down to some unpredictables.
-
Close game for sure. It's entirely possible that the backup QB provided an advantage. For some reason the Texas defense was absolutely befuddled by the change in the position and never really recovered. That was an extremely disappointing performance by Texas DC Pete Kwiatkowski.
Anyway, I won't believe that the current Texas coaching staff is going to beat Georgia, until I see it. They've performed quite poorly in this game so far.

It’s weird that even though I knew Texas and Georgia played twice I totally forgot about the 2nd game going to OT.
