LITTLE ROCK — Long before the SEC media vote was announced, the only predictions in doubt involved what are best described as down ballot contests, prompting a no-risk tweet early Friday that Alabama and Auburn would be one-two in the West and that Georgia would be an overwhelming choice in the East.
Wondering about the vote involved only what team would be perceived second best in the East and whether Arkansas or Ole Miss would be considered the worst in the SEC West.
Alabama over Georgia in the SEC title game was a given, although the vote was bound to be closer than last year when Alabama received 217 of the 243 first-place votes and Auburn was second with 11.
