Talking season is here with SEC Media Days officially kicking off from Hoover, Alabama, Monday morning. Here’s the schedule.

Also related — it’s prediction season, too. USA Today is the latest organization to predict the SEC’s order of finish for the SEC East, West and conference champion for 2021.

The biggest question headed into this season — can anyone unseat Alabama as the conference’s king? Well, not according to USA Today. The outlet picked the Crimson Tide to win the SEC West and conference championship yet again.

The outlet has Georgia winning the SEC East, finishing ahead of Florida. Quarterback JT Daniels looks primed for a big season with playmakers around him, and we know Kirby Smart will put together an impressive defense.

In other words — there’s nothing too surprising about USA Today’s predictions, which are below:

EAST DIVISION
1. Georgia
2. Florida
3. Missouri
4. Kentucky
5. Tennessee
6. South Carolina
7. Vanderbilt

WEST DIVISION
1. Alabama
2. Texas A&M
3. LSU
4. Ole Miss
5. Auburn
6. Arkansas
7. Mississippi State

SEC CHAMPION
Alabama
