SEC Media Days: Breaking Down the Media Poll

Good morning from Hoover, Ala. The third and final day of SEC Media Days will begin shortly when Auburn coach Gene Chizik steps up to the podium. We’ll fill you in on the things he and the rest of the coaches say today.

One thing worth mentioning this morning: The SEC Media Days preseason All-SEC team has been announced. And a handful of Razorbacks have been honored.

Running back Michael Smith and tight end D.J. Williams were named to the first-team offense. Smith also was a first-team selection on the Coaches All-SEC team last week. Williams was a second-team pick.

Defensive tackle Malcolm Sheppard, a second-team pick on the coaches team last week, is on the second-team defense in the SEC Media Days list. Florida led the way with 12 selections on the All-SEC team. Alabama has 8.

As for the projected order of finish, Arkansas is projected to finish fourth in the SEC West. No surprise there. The West looks like this today: Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Auburn and Mississippi State. I’m a little surprised Ole Miss is listed third in the SEC West. I thought they’d be higher than that. Maybe even the projected division winner.

What about the SEC East? Well, you should know the answer. Florida was a unanimous selection (earning 64 of 64 first-place votes) to win the East. Charles Bloom tells us that has never happened before.

Florida is not a unanimous pick to win the SEC title, though. The Gators earned 63 votes. The other went to … Ole Miss.
