Will the media really pick Georgia over Alabama to win the SEC? Don't count on it.

That's the question most of the media members who cover the SEC will face when they submit their conference predictions next week at SEC Media Days in Hoover, Alabama.

The predictions for West and East division champions don't carry much intrigue. Almost certainly, Nick Saban's Crimson Tide will be the selection in the West, while Kirby Smart's Georgia Bulldogs will hold the vote in the East.

But the pick for SEC champion could be spicy.

Alabama must replace much of the star power from last year's national championship squad. Georgia returns more production than Alabama, plus loaded up via the transfer portal.
