12 bowl eligible teams is no easy feat, no matter how you slice it.
Florida defeats Georgia in the Cocktail Party which gives them the tiebreaker for the trip to Atlanta. The thing with Florida, can the defense carry the load again. It's a slim margin between division winners and 6-6 when the offense is inert.
The West will be won in College Station this year. A lot has been made of the fact Alabama has to replace most of its offensive line. I think they'll be fine, as A&M's defense is also replacing quite a bit. It's pretty straight-forward for the Tide from there. Maybe the game at Auburn is difficult if Malzahn works a whole lot of magic. Maybe.
I don't sense this is a vintage year for the conference, where the three or four top teams in the conference were elite. Alabama is, LSU will be the best 3-loss team in the country, but the three top teams in the East have lost a great deal of talent that needs to be replaced. The Vandy @ Florida game could be interesting, and could lead to Vandy being in the mix.
