2018 SEC Media Days: Voters predict order of finish, league champion in annual poll
ATLANTA, Ga. — It almost sounds like a broken record. Alabama is once again the media’s preseason favorite heading into the 2018 season.
Friday morning the SEC released the media’s predicted order of finish for the SEC, and the Tide are expected to win the conference. The Georgia Bulldogs won the SEC Championship in 2017, and most figure the Dawgs and Tide — a rematch of the national championship — to meet in Atlanta for the conference championship.
