Which Pre-Season Favorite

Last I checked, coaches don't play the games. Don't you think 90% is a bit high?

90% is too high, but it speaks to the insight he's highlighting... you don't lose the architect of your program and rebound without incident.  Exhibit A: Louisville last season. 

I voted LSU, but only because they won the National Title last season, and I believe they'll only be the third best team in the SEC behind Florida and Georgia.  That said... it's got to be a testament to how your program's risen when you can make the Capital One Bowl and have it be a "down year."

Of the teams listed, I voted for LSU.  Goose already said what I might have said if I was as smart as Goose.  Replacing the leadership for LSU will prove to be tough this year.

My Mounties might get my 2nd vote.  I certainly believe in its leader (Pat White), but the replacements on the defensive side, and the playcalling of a first time OC have me a bit worried.

Gator93,

Don't really disagree with your comments about UGA, except for the one about not beating Florida if Tebow had not been injured.  I am not objective as you might expect, but Georgia scored at will on your defense.  And remember, one of your touchdowns was on Stafford's bad throw from the endzone.  Otherwise, I think you are possibly right, although I certainly hope not.
