Alabama picked to win SEC Championship and 13 players were named to All-SEC team

Despite all the chaos that occurred this offseason, the University of Alabama has a tight-knit football team that is prepared to pursue a national championship. After coming up empty in each of the last two years, the Crimson Tide has continuity on its coaching staff, experienced veterans on offense and defense, and a freshmen class that is hungry and wants to contribute.

The Tide performed well through the preseason practice program and got stronger in fall camp.

As it gears up to open its season versus Missouri on Saturday, members of the media for the Southeastern Conference voted on the SEC Western Division winner, SEC Eastern Division winner and the conference champion via poll.
