Let's run a sports version of a blind taste test:
Team X is in the Southeastern Conference. It has won a combined eight SEC games over the past two seasons. It has played in back-to-back bowls.
From last year's 7-6 squad, Team X returns a robust 16 starters.
On offense, Team X boasts an All-America caliber running back, a likely future NFL tight end and an offensive line with a veteran player at all five starting positions.
