Quick Picks

Each week, prior to Sept 3,  I will provide some analysis and then make my final predictions for the season for each division within the MAC and SEC conferences.  Here is a quick hit as to the Winners and Runners up for the respective divisions

If you put a gun to my head I would pick:

MAC EAST:
Miami University to win the Division.  18 returning starters on a winning team.
runner up:  Ohio University- they keep finding ways to win

MAC WEST:
Norther Illinois to win the Division and Conference.  Excellent returning offense and strong defensive HC
runner up:  Toledo- Stable coaches with 19 returning starters

SEC EAST:
Georgia to win the Division.  Much improved offense for 2011
runner up:  South Carolina.  Lattimore...   ...enough said

SEC WEST:
Alabama to win the Division and Conference.  They have the complete game
runner up:  LSU.  Speedy D and a new coach for a struggling QB
