Kalen DeBoer worked the room during Southeastern Conference Media Days at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, Texas.
The Alabama football head coach and the athletes with him had a confidence about themselves. Alabama has been granted another opportunity to prove the working SEC media wrong again.
The media chose Georgia to win the SEC Championship this season as the Bulldogs garnered the most points (165).
Georgia was also picked as the top school to finish first in the conference with 3,330 points, while Alabama finished third with 2,891 points. Reporters voted Georgia and Texas into the SEC title game.
