With SEC Media Days all wrapped up, the media’s votes for who will win the 2017 SEC Championship have been tallied. It should come as no surprise the Alabama Crimson Tide were picked to not only win the SEC West, but the SEC Title.
Meanwhile the LSU Tigers were picked to finish third in the SEC West with four first place votes. They were also projected to finish fourth overall in the SEC right behind Georgia.
Along with the media voting on the preseason poll, they also selected their Preseason All-SEC Teams and six Tigers were selected.
Derrius Guice received the third highest votes behind Minkah Fitzpatrick and Calvin Ridley.
