The SEC has always been a great football conference. And then came the BCS and the SEC is dominating. The BCS has existed for 13 years, 7 times the SEC has won it. In the last 20 years, there have been 9 SEC National Championships. Not just one team either: Florida (3), Alabama (2), LSU (2), Auburn (1), and Tennessee (1). And those numbers don't count Auburn going undefeated in 1993 and 2004.
With 5 straight BCS National Championships, pretty much everyone recognizes the SEC as the best conference. Not only has the SEC won the BCS with four different teams, but during that span of the last 5 years Georgia was rated preseason #1 as well, and Arkansas made it to a BCS game. So the only natural question for 2011 can't be will the SEC make it, but who from the SEC will make it?
No chance: Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Tennessee
A long shot: Auburn, Mississippi State, Georgia
If they catch some breaks: Arkansas, South Carolina, Florida, LSU
Best Chance: Alabama
This doesn't mean this is the way I'll be picking the season to go, but these are the teams, that based on their talent should be able to make noise this year.
