I am with you on Clemson. Not so sure about Alabama. Likely, yea it is more than likely but, they will most likely have to get past Georgia in Atlanta, if Smart has another bumper year I can see Georgia with a fire in their belly when it comes to that game. They have Auburn at home so no real issues there and the only other outlier I see is a huge maybe with A&M but they have them at home as well so it will probably come down to getting past Georgia and if the committee decides to put two SEC teams in the CFP again assuming the other conferences do not cannibalize themselves. I think the Big 12 may well do that, not sure about the possibility of the PAC 12 or B1G doing that.
Both UGA and Alabama have pretty easy schedules IMO...so both should easily make it to Atlanta in December.
I think UGA is going to have a TOUGH time with the loss of Chubb and Michel. Although UGA does seem to be a factory for RB's, so maybe their next guy will slide in with little loss at that position. Fromm should improve, but he will have more expectations on him without that duo at RB behind him. I don't see Florida, or Tennessee making enough improvement to beat them next year (although they may surprise people). UGA should roll fairly easily.
Alabama should roll as well. I think Auburn will take a step back (it's still a rivalry game though). Ole Miss and Miss St won't have much. Arkansas is Arkansas, and LSU is still probably a year or two away from getting back to competitive with Bama IMO.
If I were betting, I think Alabama is a lock to go undefeated and win the SEC this year. UGA will likely be undefeated, and lose in the SECCC IMO. Although, they have enough high end talent to knock anyone off.
