well whatever the "experts" say, they're all either has-beens or (more often) never-wasers that think that they can predict what will happen on the football field..... plus their contract with the ACC is deeper as they get the top picks of the games in that conference and the SEC gives their top picks to CBS..... which is why they always promote the ACC, PAC 10, BIG TEN, Rose Bowl et al... and give those teams and games far more love than they ever will any team in the SEC
