The Southeastern Conference wrapped up a long week at SEC Media Days on Thursday.
The boxed lunch was fine. The new commissioner, Greg Sankey, was accommodating. None of that was the problem.
But the league released a media prediction that had Alabama winning the SEC West, and Auburn winning the SEC. Worse, they released it after it was too late to ask Les Miles for an explanation.
There’s a real explanation, of course. The voters (and it appears that only 25 percent of those in attendance actually voted, meaning that most joined me in abstaining) saw it this way.
