You the fans have spoken, and Arkansas' Tyler Wilson was the runaway winner in our poll on which of the first-year starting quarterbacks in the SEC would have the most productive season in 2011.

Wilson would be my choice, too.

For one, he played some last season in critical situations and played lights out against Auburn until the two late interceptions. He's going into his fourth year in the program and has a strong grasp of Bobby Petrino's system. What's more, he has arguably four of the top 10 receivers in the league to throw to when you think about Greg Childs, Jarius Wright, Joe Adams and Cobi Hamilton.

Petrino still wants to see Wilson nail down the job in the fall after sophomore Brandon Mitchell showed what he could do this spring, but there's no doubt in my mind that Wilson will be the starter.

At last count, Wilson had 50 percent of the vote with more than 9,100 people voting.

The real race is for second place. Alabama's AJ McCarron held a slight lead over "someone else," which was the last of the five categories in the poll. That "someone else" could easily wind up being Phillip Sims, who exited the spring in a dead heat with McCarron. Alabama coach Nick Saban said earlier this week that he has no problem playing both quarterbacks in the fall and letting the situation sort itself out in games.

I'm on record as saying I think McCarron will ultimately prevail, but I've had others in and around that program tell me that Sims is making a real push.

South Carolina's Connor Shaw could also fall into that "someone else" category depending on what happens with Stephen Garcia, who ended the spring on suspension. It was Garcia's fifth suspension, but it's obvious that the door is still open for Garcia to return if he behaves over the next couple of months and takes care of his business.

If Shaw has a good summer and Garcia does return, I could see Spurrier playing both guys. In fact, it's probably inevitable at this point that both guys will play if Garcia is indeed back on the team.

It's anybody's guess at Auburn, too. The Tigers' coaches aren't giving out any hints about which way they're leaning between Barrett Trotter and Clint Moseley. I could definitely see incoming true freshmen Kiehl Frazier being a factor at some point next season.

And at Ole Miss, Houston Nutt said earlier this week that Randall Mackey was probably a little bit ahead. But if Barry Brunetti is allowed by the NCAA to play next season and doesn't have to sit out after transferring from West Virginia, he's going to be hard to keep off the field. Mackey and Brunetti are both multi-purpose quarterbacks who can also run, while junior college newcomer Zack Stoudt is a pure pocket passer.

Keep in mind that the last two national champions have trotted out first-year starters at quarterback. Auburn's Cam Newton had never started an SEC game prior to last season, and neither had Alabama's Greg McElroy prior to the 2009 season.
