Just got back from the Auburn beat writers' session with Tommy Tuberville before he goes to the podium in the big media room. Will drop some notes from that in a minute (and will transcribe the Q/A later and post that as well).
First things first, Auburn was picked to win the West in a landslide. Auburn got 48 first-place votes over LSU's 21 in the media balloting that took place this week at Media Days.
Florida (45 votes to win East over UGA's 23. Florida got 36 first-place votes to win the SEC title) was picked to win the East and the conference. Georgia (18 votes) was picked second in both and Auburn third overall in the conference with 13 votes.
Auburn placed the most players on the two all-SEC teams that were announced with nine. LSU was second with 8.

.....It's interesting that the media have switched over from awarding Georgia the Crystal in advance, to picking Florida to win the division. Could it be that Tim Tebow won their hearts over with his bubbly goodness? Or was it a critical look at UGA's schedule?
