With SEC media days behind us, it's smooth sailing until preseason camps for Southeastern Conference football teams, and then the 2016 season will be here.
Those long, slogging summer days are almost over, and it's nearly football time in Tennessee…and Alabama…and Mississippi…and everywhere else.
At this point of the offseason, everybody has massive expectations. After all, everybody's still undefeated, right?
If you listen to the conference's media contingent, it's going to be Alabama over Tennessee in the SEC championship game. That's according to this week's media polls released, and even though the scribes and analysts have been right just five times in 24 years, the Crimson Tide are a safe pick.
