[quote]Their employers are AP affiliates; the AP does not own them and the voters do not work for them. These affiliates use AP stories and the AP will syndicate worthy articles from these writers written for their employers, but they do not work for the AP. Do you really think......

that they may be motivated to write stories that the AP may be interested in using as "worthy"? And the AP being motivated to SELECT based on it's bias?

Exactly. The preseason polls I've seen have either Georgia or Florida ranked #1, and some have them 1-2. Obviously that isn't going to happen at the end of the year since both are in the same division. But like it or not SEC, you are the media darlings now and the target is on your back. It is much deserved given the SEC's success in recent years, but it's no fun when the shoe's on the other foot and everyone is gunning for you.

My bet is that both Fla and Ga choke and both lose at least 2 games. This will open the door for LSU which is fine with me because I have a lot of respect for you all. I think Fla and Ga are classless and I think Mark Richt is a complete a-hole.

Losing only 2 games with their schedules would not be choking

Thanks. Great link. It's interesting that nobody has ever mentioned that Michigan is 20-5-2 vs the SEC all-time and the only SEC team with a winning record vs them is Tenn (1-0).

The Big Ten's record all-time vs the SEC is 95-89-7.

It is if you are pre-season #1 and don't make it to the dance.

I know what you're saying, but I don't buy your premise.
