The Crimson Tide were voted No. 2 in the country in the first USA Today coaches poll.<\/p>\n<p>The only team ahead of them? That would be the Florida State Seminoles \u2013 last year\u2019s BCS champions.<\/p>\n<h3>Auburn Betting Odds\u00a05\/1<\/h3>\n<p>The SEC is the only team to have two teams in the top five of the first USA Today coaches poll. Alabama is No. 2, and the Auburn Tigers are No. 5. Last season, we watched Auburn take down Alabama in what was arguably the biggest win of the entire year \u2013 a win that jumpstarted a run at a BCS title.<\/p>\n<p>The Tigers are lucky to have LSU at home early in the year, but the most important game once again points to the final contest of the regular season against Alabama on the road.<\/p>\n<h3>South Carolina \u00a0Betting Odds 5\/1<\/h3>\n<p>Sticking with the theme of top-25 programs, the South Carolina Gamecocks are right up there with the Auburn Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide. The two aforementioned teams are the two with more winning experience, but the Gamecocks are the third team in the SEC to make the top 10 in the preseason USA Today coaches poll.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><a title=\"Sports Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>CLICK to GRAB OUR BEST Expert Sports &amp; Football Picks for 2014 GAMBLING!<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Senior Dylan Thompson has finally earned the starting quarterback job, and this will be his one chance to show what he can do in his final year.<\/p>\n<h3>Georgia Betting Odds 6\/1<\/h3>\n<p>The Georgia Bulldogs are No. 12 in the preseason coaches poll. Georgia finished 2013 with a record of 8-5, but the bigger problem was that it went just 2-3 against Top-25 opponents. Luckily for the Bulldogs, their 2014 schedule should result in a better year.<br \/>\n[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<br \/>\nClemson and South Carolina are tough ways to start the season, but skipping Alabama and getting Auburn at home are important footnotes for this championship hopeful.<\/p>\n<h3>LSU Betting Odds 13\/2<\/h3>\n<p>The LSU Tigers are the fifth SEC team to make the top 15 in the first coaches poll. They\u2019re No. 13, as ranked by USA Today, and they\u2019re going to compete for a spot in the top four College Football Playoff right out of the gate. The big question mark?<\/p>\n<p>That would be quarterback.<\/p>\n<p>Anytime you have someone new stepping in there are questions, but with a battle in camp having not yet been decided, it offers both excitement and a bit of nervousness for fans in Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are the complete NCAA\u00a0Betting Odds to win the SEC:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Alabama\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a07\/5<\/li>\n<li>Auburn\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a05\/1<\/li>\n<li>South Carolina\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\/1<\/li>\n<li>Georgia\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 6\/1<\/li>\n<li>LSU\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a013\/2<\/li>\n<li>Florida\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a012\/1<\/li>\n<li>Ole Miss\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 14\/1<\/li>\n<li>Texas A&amp;M\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a025\/1<\/li>\n<li>Mississippi State\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 40\/1<\/li>\n<li>Missouri\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a040\/1<\/li>\n<li>Tennessee\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a050\/1<\/li>\n<li>Arkansas\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0100\/1<\/li>\n<li>Kentucky\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0200\/1<\/li>\n<li>Vanderbilt\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0200\/1<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>CappersPicks.com brings you the only\u00a0<strong><a style=\"color: #b02c21;\" title=\"College Football Handicapping\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/blog\/category\/ncaa-football\/\">college football handicapping<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0guide you\u2019ll need.<\/p>\n<p>Use the\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/ncaaf\/\">College football previews<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0for the 2012 NCAA football season to help you with your college football handicapping at our top sportsbooks online this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Free Picks!
