Week 6 SEC Preview: LSU – Auburn and A&M-Arkansas highlight the show

This week it’s normal one of the craziest games on the SEC Calendar: LSU vs Auburn. We’ve had burning buildings, missed kicks at the end, last-second touchdowns and the end of Les Miles’ tenure. The Geaux Tigers have won 3 in row and 7 of the last ten, but of those last three games, they’ve been settled by a TOTAL of eight points. With no-one thinking about both sides seriously, it should be fun to at least watch, praying for a Big 12 game to once again break out in Jordan-Hare (if you’ve got the over!). Elsewhere, one of the SEC West’s most underrated rivalries takes place at Kyle Field instead of Arlington, which is unfortunate bearing in mind just how awesome

Alabama staying, Missouri rising: SEC Week 5 Rankings

It’s our weekly SEC Rankings. Honestly, they’ve gotten so hard right now because Auburn might be 1-4 if the SEC Officials had used their brains, but then again might be 4-1 if the SEC Officials had used their brains. Texas A&M might be 2-2 if Dan Mullen’s offense could defend Kellen Mond, and Alabama might be….oh wait…they look unbeatable at the moment. So here we go. Please note that past No.4, it’s basically a free-for-all until Vanderbilt….who are bottom. Alabama (5-0) The injury to Jaylen Waddle didn’t really slow down the Crimson Tide as they slaughtered Tennessee. Slade Bolden plugged in and put up 94 yards for just six catches. The rest of the Tide are awesome. Sure, there’s going

How good is Texas A&M? Week 4 SEC Power Rankings

After a poor game against Vanderbilt and a blow-out by Alabama, Texas A&M fans were fuming. They wanted Jimbo Fisher’s head on a plate. Some of the more racist elements of Texas A&M messageboards straight-up blamed Kellen Mond’s off-season civil rights activities for a reason why the school looked shabby. Florida was coming, and the season was going to go to the wolves. And then Florida came to town. In a messy, fun game, Florida was beaten, 41-38. Mond was brilliant, throwing for 338 yards and 3 TDs, and didn’t do anything stupid. A week later, they stopped Mississippi State’s ‘Air Raid’ offense in Starkville, and suddenly Texas A&M fans are talking about how they could pip Georgia to the

After COVID outbreaks, SEC shuffles schedule

The SEC has moved a number of teams’ schedule after Vanderbilt postponed its game against Missouri and then Florida postponed its match-up with LSU – both thanks to COVID-19. Kentucky‘s clash with Missouri has been moved to October 24th to October 31st. Georgia at Kentucky has been moved from October 24th to October 31st.  Missouri at Florida has been moved from October 24th to October 31st. Vanderbilt at Missouri has been moved to December 12th (as expected). LSU‘s trip to Florida has been moved to December 12th (as expected). The set of fans that are absolutely fuming are Georgia fans. Although Georgia’s still going to get a week off, it’s not going to be before the World’s Largest Cocktail Party

Georgia vs Alabama headlines SEC Week 4 Action

Well, Georgia’s trip to Alabama is the biggest match-up of the week, and – when all’s said and done- the whole of the 2020 College Football season. It’s a monster. LSU vs Florida would have been cool for the reason that the over/under would be 2084, due to both sides’ abject failures to tackle, but COVID-19 got in the way of that. It also got in the way of Missouri’s efforts for a second-straight victory against Vanderbilt. Both games have been postponed to December 12th. We have a feeling they won’t be the only ones. So anyway, there’s also Auburn’s trip to South Carolina, Texas A&M at Mississippi State, Kentucky at Tennessee, and Ole Miss at Arkansas. It could actually

The Players to watch for Alabama vs Georgia

It’s the biggest game of the season, and it’s probably the biggest game of most regular seasons since the LSU vs Alabama 9-6 debacle in 2011. So who are the players to watch? GEORGIA Stetson Bennett (QB): Bennett has been the perfect game manager since coming on in the second half of the Arkansas game. To say the least, he’s been an amazing success, throwing for 958 yards and 5 TDS. He’s not been spectacular, but he’s one of the most accurate passers in the country, with a QB rating of 93.5. He hasn’t thrown an interception either. He’ll face an Alabama secondary that was ripped to piece by Ole Miss last week, and is definitely trying to find itself.

Saban highlights the SEC’s worst COVID week…on Wednesday

Before the season started, Andy Staples, the college football writer-come-podcast host, criticised the Big 12 for what was going on with COVID. He said that Greg Sankey and the SEC knew what they were doing when they started the season a bit later. For three weeks, things seemed to be going well. Sure, we were making fun of student bodies in the stands and their lack of either masking up or social distancing, but the non-lingering of the TV screens made us go back to the football. Then this week, the news started to hit. Monday: Straight out of the gate, the SEC announces that it will postpone the game between Vanderbilt and Missouri. Vanderbilt has been struggling with COVID-19 cases,

LSU vs Florida postponed to Dec 12

The LSU vs Florida game has been postponed to Dec 12 due to positive COVID tests. 19 Gators players and two assistant coaches had reported positive for the virus, meaning that that would have left the Gators either below the 53-person scholarship line or unable to fill all of their positions. Florida has also closed down football facilities until further notice. This will also be a blow for the SEC this week, which was meant to have back-to-back marquee match-ups with Georgia’s clash with Alabama following up the coverage, but that is now no more. The December 12th date was put in place at the back end of the season for postponements (all SEC teams are off), which means that there

LSU and Florida should be cancelled on Saturday

Here is one plea to the SEC: Please cancel LSU’s game with Florida next week. Yes, Todd Grantham and Bo Pelini would probably thank you for it. Their defenses are bruised, beaten and battered, and their fans aren’t very happy. Dan Mullen – who weirdly still wants 90,000 people to risk their lives to pack The Swamp for the LSU game because Texas A&M overfilled their own student section for their own game – won’t thank you. But here’s the big one: Florida has had 19 positive cases on its team. A few members of the team have ignored their team’s protocols, hit a few Gainseville bars and parties, and all hell has broken loose. And now – as COVID tends to
