To determine whether a newly met Georgia Bulldogs fan is of the classic variety or is just here hoping to see black jerseys again soon, tell them the 2011 Dawgs are among the favorites to win the SEC. A UGA fan who's been raised will plug both ears with his or her hands and exit stage left a la Torrey Smith in an earthquake, while a new jack who's been down since Knowshon Moreno will, I don't know, say he thinks his Dawgs and his Philadelphia Eagles can both win it all this year.
Via BoDog, here are the odds to win the SEC and each division. You'll note the Alabama Crimson Tide and Florida Gators are your favorites, with the latter being a sure sign Vegas has thrown its hands in the air and may never catch them again. The South Carolina Gamecocks are favored over Georgia in the East, but trail both UGA and the LSU Tigers overall. Magic!
You'll also note odds for individual player performances, with Isaiah Crowell's expectations surprisingly high and Aaron Murray's surprisingly low.
