BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Alabama State has been picked to win the East Division of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in a vote released by the SWAC at the 2013 SWAC Football Media Day. The Hornets picked up 108 points and 15 first place votes to outdistance last year's SWAC East Co-Champion Jackson State who picked up 102 points and nine first place votes."It's an honor for these coaches and the media outlets to pick us, but we all know it still has to be played on the field," ASU head coach Reggie Barlow said. "We do feel good about our team, we feel good about our coaches, so we are just going to go to work and try to win one at a time and see how we finish up at the end."
The Hornets vote total was the highest among the two division leaders as Arkansas-Pine Bluff was picked to win the West Division with 105 points and 12 first place votes.
Following ASU and JSU in the East were Alabama A&M (60 pts.), Mississippi Valley State (51 pts.) and Alcorn State (40 pts.).
