After five consecutive championships -- and seven undefeated appearances in the BCS title game in 13 years -- it's clear that a Southeastern Conference team will win the BCS title for the 2011 season.I've written before that if you'd started gambling on the SEC to cover the spread back in 1998 when Tennessee notched the conference's first BCS title, in the wake of Auburn's victory you'd now have $128,000. That's right, you'd have 128 times your money in just 13 years, the same period of time when the stock market has tanked.
So as a pre-preseason guide to 2011, it makes sense to take a gander at the SEC teams and figure out which one is most likely to win. This process isn't infallible -- for instance, Auburn wouldn't have ranked inside the top four in the 2010 preseason -- but it is likely that your 2011 national champion is coming out of the top half of the SEC. Especially since the SEC by itself has now won more BCS titles than the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big 12, ACC and Big East combined. Who knows, this could be the year that a sixth different SEC team garners a title. So which team will be your national champ?
Let's dissect them in reverse chronological order of the likelihood of hoisting a trophy. Beginning with, you guessed it, Vanderbilt.
