This team lost multiple first round picks to the NFL but still returns plenty of talent on both sides of the ball.  <\/p>\n<p>The Tide defense should be among the most stingy in the country once again and their offensive line could be the best in the nation.  <\/p>\n<p>With their schedule it won\u2019t be easy but Alabama is good enough to run the gauntlet provided the QB play is adequate.<\/p>\n<h3>Best Value &#8211; Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>I put the Georgia Bulldogs here because I think they are the best bet to win the East division and as a result play in the championship game.  In the West you have Alabama, LSU and Arkansas, any of whom could be the representative, but in the East I think Florida is not quite there and even though South Carolina is probably more talented than Georgia, they have the far tougher schedule.  <iframe allowtransparency='true' src='http:\/\/ff.connextra.com\/Bodog\/selector\/client?client=Bodog&#038;placement=Ext_RS_Sports_250x250&#038;cxt_aff_id=151627' class='alignleft' width='250' height='250' scrolling='no' style=\"border:5px solid #ccc\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>Right now Georgia would certainly be the underdog to any of the aforementioned West teams but you have to make it to the championship game to win it. <\/p>\n<p>5\/1 ain\u2019t bad for claiming one side of the bracket.<\/p>\n<h3>Best Schedule &#8211; Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>Last year was forgettable and Georgia is looking to rebound even though they have some questions at wide receiver and running back.  One thing you can\u2019t question is that this schedule is built for making some noise this season.  They get the South Carolina game at home, avoid the big three from the west and have road games against Ole Miss, Tennessee and Vanderbilt.  <\/p>\n<p>If they beat the Gamecocks in their SEC opener in week 2 they might even be able to run the table.<\/p>\n<h3>Prediction &#8211; Georgia<\/h3>\n<p>When I started writing this I was sure that I would be profiling LSU or Bama or maybe even the Arkansas Razorbacks here.  They are all good teams for sure but the more I look at Georgia the more I like them.  <\/p>\n<p>The key will be the improvement of their defense.  Someone was asked why the SEC has dominated in championship games and the reason offered up is because they are so strong on the defensive line.  <\/p>\n<p>Geogia is looking to start three 300 pounders, who can run, in the trenches which will enable their other athletes to fly around and make plays.  This team is going to surprise.  <\/p>\n<p>The real question is will they be ready from the get go and beat Boise State and join the national title debate early.<\/p>\n<p>CappersPicks.com brings you the only <a title=\"College Football Handicapping\" href=\"\/ncaaf\/\">college football handicapping<\/a> guide you\u2019ll need.
