Alabama picked to win the SEC West

ALL RIGHT. WELCOME BACK IN SEC MEDIA DAY ALL WRAPPED UP FROM NASHVILLE. THE VOTERS VOTED ON THE PRESEASON RANKINGS. DRUMROLL. HERE’S THE LOOK. GEORGIA PICKED NUMBER ONE IN THE EAST. NO SURPRISES THERE. ALABAMA NARROWS OUT LSU TO WIN IN THE WEST. AUBURN, HUMPHRIES AND THE TIGERS DOWN AT SIX, MISSISSIPPI STATE AT SEVEN IN GEORGIA FAVOR TO WIN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. BUT LISTEN TO THIS. ONLY NINE TIMES SINCE 1992, THAT’S 31 YEARS HAS A PREDICTED CHAMPION PRIOR TO THE SEASON AND SEC MEDIA DAYS WENT ON TO WIN THE SEC CHAMPIONSHIP. SO IT MIGHT BE SOMEONE OTHER THAN THE GEORGIA BULLDOGS. COULD IT BE ALABAMA THAT GIVES HOPE TO NICK SABAN? THE TIDE OR PICK TO WIN THE SEC WEST 1899 TOTAL POINTS. NARROWING OUT LSU WITH 1838 POINTS. AND I’M IN AT THIRD 1144 POINTS. A LOT OF QUESTIONS WITH THIS ALABAMA TEAM. WHO’S GOING TO BE THE QUARTERBACK GOING IN? NICK SABAN SAID. NO ONE SEPARATED THEMSELVES THIS WEEK UP IN NASHVILLE. HE ALSO SAID THAT THEY RELIED TOO MUCH ON THE PASSING GAME AND REALLY JUST BRYCE YOUNG. SO EXPECT A HEAVY DOSE OF THE RUN GAME IN 2023. AS FOR HUMPHRIES IN THE AUBURN TIGERS, THEY LANDED SIX OUT OF SEVEN IN THE SEC WEST. BUT HOLD ON, AUBURN FANS BECAUSE FIRST YEAR HUGH FREEZE, A LOT OF QUESTION MARKS HIS FIRST YEAR ON THE PLAINS AND QUESTIONS ABOUT THE RUNNING BACK DARK QUIZ. HUNTER IS HE GOING TO PLAY? IS HE NOT? ALSO BROUGHT IN A STARTER FROM MICHIGAN STATE? PAYTON THORNE TO COMPETE WITH LAST YEAR’S QUARTERBACK ROBB
