The East for sure. The SECCG wouldn't be far from s sure thing with any coach with what we know right now.
I'd say 8 minimum in the SEC could at least. Edit, thought OP said East. SEC..................definitely could have us in contention, so sure.
That's the way I first looked at it, but I feel like the hypothetical stands when you consider: 1. It comes down to one game 2. Alabama doesn't look that good 3. LSU is highly dependent on one player
The right coach would certainly make it to Atlanta, and could potentially win it all depending on the match up and how the chips fall.
It would require something crazy happening in the SEC Championship, which isn't all that unlikely given LSU has a good shot of getting there.
