There hasn't been a legitimate national championship contender other than Alabama since LSU in 2011. People are noticing that. Cowherd talked about it a couple days ago. He asked the guest for the second best sec team and they guessed LSU but don't see them as anything special.
It's gotta be Auburn. Stidham is a huge addition and they have a veteran defense. They should be very good this year. Would not surprise me at all if they upset Clemson.
