There was good news for South Carolina Gamecocks fans:Marcus Lattimore's injury isn't as bad as feared.
A lot of South Carolina fans were fearing that the junior running back's sickening injury in the Gamecocks' victory over Tennessee on Saturday would mean an end to their player's school - and NFL - career. As was Twitter, that suddenly abounded with rumors of fractured femurs and destroyed ligaments.
But South Carolina said in a statement: "University of South Carolina junior running back Marcus Lattimore suffered a significant impact to the front of his right knee during the Tennessee

In Steve Spurrier, South Carolina is coached by one of the greatest coaches the SEC (and College Football), has ever seen. And he's great with doing something from nothing, because South Carolina's not historically Georgia, LSU or Alabama, and yet he can still pick up some immense recruits and sends some great ones to the pros.
This year, South Carolina goes into the season higher thought-of than ever. So can they win the SEC East title, which they missed out on last year?
Last year
Let's get this straight: If they hadn't have had such a sucky SEC conference, they would have won the

The Florida Gators are a National Power. Sure, they may have sucked pre-Spurrier, but in the last three decades, they've been almost always extremely competitive (if you ignore the Ron Zook years). Since 1991, Florida has won eight SEC titles, and three National Titles. They also haven't missed a bowl game since 1991, either. That's a pretty great record.
But 2011, after Urban Meyer's decision to leave the Florida family and go to ESPN (for the year, as it turned out, because he managed to recover sufficiently to take up a role at Ohio State), the Muschamp era started with a sputter. Sure, the

There is no school out there that could have had a more horrible off-season than the Auburn Tigers. And only one incident capped it: Two former Auburn Tigers - Ladarious Phillips and Ed Christian - and sophomore offensive linesman Eric Mack were shot at a pool party in mid-June. Phillips and Christian lost their lives.
The news rocked the University to the core - and it'll be interesting to see what effect - if any - it has on the Tigers are the start of the year.
In less important news, brilliant running back Michael Dyer was dismissed from the team and is now playing FCS football, and Auburn

Georgia goes into this season – again- as SEC East favorites – simply because of the talent that the school is bringing back all over the field, but especially defensively, where some people have said that the Bulldogs could have one of the best Ds in the conference.
Having said that, Mark Richt has had disciplinary problem after disciplinary problem this year, and that might undermine is progress. Nevertheless, see what we think below...
LAST SEASON
The Georgia Bulldogs may have won the SEC East and gone 10-4 this year, but it’s not exactly blasphemy in the House of Dog to say

Looking back, it was another glorious year for the SEC. Another National Championship was won, with Nick Saban and the Alabama Crimson Tide taking home the bacon.
The Crimson Tide beat LSU 21-0 in a re-match in which did both of the things they went out to do: Dominate AND win. In the first game against the Tigers in front over 92,000 in Tuscaloosa, they'd done a lot of dominating, but not a lot of winning.
The sad thing is is that both games didn't make the Top Five games of the 2011 season. Here are your top 10 involving SEC teams - and yes, we've involved some non-conference ones too.
