The Southeastern Conference has lined up a few contenders for Lucky No. 7. Defending national champion Alabama and last season's 13-game juggernaut LSU remain the headliners of a league that has won the past six BCS titles, despite losing a combined six first-round NFL draft picks. Arkansas, Georgia and South Carolina are among the SEC teams trying to catch up. The Crimson Tide and Tigers meet Nov. 3 in Baton Rouge in a rematch of the national title game. Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron and LSU Heisman Trophy finalist Tyrann Mathieu spiced it up with a little Twitter feud in June. But LSU coach Les Miles notes "that no game is won in a Twitter page." Missouri and Texas A&M enter the powerhouse SEC aiming to prove they belong.
