The 2017 season is only a few short days away, and excitement is building by the minute.

On Monday, the preseason AP Poll was released and other outlets are sending out their preseason projections, too.

Sporting News released its 2017 season projections over the weekend, and here’s who they had winning the key titles this fall:

  • SEC East champion: Georgia
  • SEC West champion: Alabama
  • SEC champion: Alabama
  • CFP final four: Alabama, Florida State, Ohio State, USC
  • National champion: Alabama (over USC)

Alabama was ranked No. 1 in the preseason AP Poll, so Sporting News isn’t the only publication high on the Crimson Tide.

In fact, in every significant preseason poll other than ESPN’s FPI rankings, the Crimson Tide are No. 1.
