Which SEC team will win the 2012 national championship?

[Skjellyfetti]

LSU and Alabama have clearly separated themselves from the pack. Both will return a whole bunch of talent next year. Arkansas and Georgia are the outsiders looking in. Don't see either of the newbies factoring in... but, who knows.

USC

USC

If you mean the west coast version, then maybe. But most likely Oregon.

2012 is meaningless. The 2013 season FBS national champion will come from the Big East Western Division.

Fear the Trojans

As an Oregon fan, I very much do. Nov 5 in LA is going to be a big one.

Unless Michigan joins the SEC in the next few months then none of them. 2012 the Year of Denard.

Early favorites going into next year, from what I'm reading are:

USC
LSU
Georgia
The winner of the Michigan/Alabama game

The winner of Alabama-Michigan is not going to win the title and should not be considered favorites, IMO. Their conferences are simply too good for them to run the table. Michigan's not getting through the Big 10 unscathed. They will likely lose to one of Notre Dame (not Big 10, I know), Nebraska, or Ohio State. Book it. Alabama simply loses too much on defense in terms of experience for me to totally buy in. Remember, they were picked to win it all the year after they beat Texas and lost 3 games.

USC, LSU, Georgia, Arkansas (you read that right), and Oklahoma should be on the short list for next year.

OSU won't be much better, if at all, than they were this year.

Notre Dame won't be better

Nebraska...not sure on them.


Oklahoma (outside of Georgia) is the most under-achieving team in college football.

Ok, and I am predicting they'll overachieve. I just don't get why people harp on OU all the time. Seriously, they win 10 games every year and it's never good enough. Not for their fans, not for their rivals' fans, not for Joe Schmoe.

Notre Dame absolutely will be better. This is another year into Brian Kelly's scheme for them, they host Michigan, and they will be better on defense.

Ohio State returns 18 starters from a team dominated by freshmen and sophomores and you say they will be a 6-win team with Urban Meyer replacing Luke Fickell. Their non-conference schedule is 4 easy wins, plus they have 4 more home games in B10 play. Come on. The head man in football, especially college, is very important to winning and losing. Urban is at least 3 wins per year better than Fickell, IMO. K-State was the worst program in college football until they got Bill Snyder. Then (and now) they're became a solid team? Coincidence? Nope.
