I’m not sure how you could vote for any team over Alabama. That’s not to say the Crimson Tide are guaranteed to win the title, but they’re the easy pick.
Georgia, Florida and LSU will all be very competitive, but you simply can’t take any of them over Alabama right now.
Until proven otherwise, the SEC is Nick Saban’s show.

The Crimson Tide are loaded with future NFL talent, have the best coach in America and have a very competent quarterback in Mac Jones.
All the pieces necessary for Saban to win the SEC are sitting right in front of him.

LSU, Florida and Georgia might all threaten Alabama’s supremacy, and they might even pull off a conference upset. However, until we see it happen, you have to ride with Saban and the Crimson Tide. It’s the smart decision to make.
