Auburn was represented by six players across the three teams, with Cam Coleman and Keldric Faulk landing on the All-SEC First Team. Connor Lew, Xavier Chaplin, Eric Singleton Jr. and Alex McPherson all made the third team.

Eight Florida football players earned spots on All-SEC teams in the preseason media poll revealed on July 18.

The conference's annual summer event has concluded, but talking season will continue for a just a little bit longer.

The second and third highest-paid players behind Manning are LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier, who makes about $4 million a year, and South Carolina QB LaNorris Sellers, who makes just under $4 million as well. Florida Gators QB DJ Lagway rounds out the list.

It’s no secret the rivalry has intensified in recent years. Over the last decade, the SEC has won six of the 10 national championships. Two were won by Clemson in that stretch but the last two were won by Big Ten rivals, Michigan last year and Ohio State in January.

Not many people will be surprised to see where the Bulldogs land in the media's predictions for the final SEC standings. But the media predictions have been wrong before.

SEC media picked Florida to finish sixth a season after Billy Napier’s team was picked to finish 12th in the expanded 16-team conference. 2024 newcomer Texas is expected to win the league, ahead of Georgia.
