Texas is on top, but Vandy continues to rise

1. Texas (6-0): The Texas – Oklahoma game was ESPN’s showpiece game this week, and it wasn’t close. Texas wasn’t good in the first half of the game, but they got better as the time went on and eviscerated a hapless Sooners team. As much fun as I’ve made of them, this team is great all over the park. The big test will next week against some team called Georgia. 2. Texas A&M (5-1): Smashed Bye Week into the ground, but reason they’ve vaulted Georgia is the evidence of the week before, when there was no playing with their food against Missouri. 3. Georgia (5-1): Don’t imprison Kirby Smart for pushing that Mississippi State player, get him investigated by the

Week 7: Red River Time!

No.1 Texas (-14.5) v No.18 Oklahoma (Dallas): Texas is really talented, while Oklahoma will be the best defense they’ve faced so far this season. We will see how Texas’ running game does against a tight front that is Oklahoma’s. But Oklahoma will also be tested by the best QB they have this year in Quin Ewers, who’s going to start on Saturday after weeks out with injury. But Texas will probably cruise before OU’s offense is utterly vomitous- now not helped by the fact that it’s top WR Deion Burks is out for the game, on top of the other four on the trainer’s table.. Texas might be closed down by OU’s punter a little, therefore reducing the chances of

WEEK 6: SEC RANKINGS ARE ALL ****ED UP

I joked on Saturday night that my SEC rankings were this: 1-15: F**k knows 16: Mississippi State. And that’s probably right. Texas is the No.1 team in the nation and – by virtue of not playing while the unbridled carnage was happening around – would go as No.1 in my view. But are they really better than Georgia? Does Vanderbilt’s win over Alabama automatically mean that they are better than Alabama? Or Arkansas’ win over Tennessee mean that Sam Pittman’s team is better than the Vols? If you believe those guys at the AP Poll – who have Texas first, Georgia fifth (behind Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State), Miami sixth and Alabama seventh. Tennessee is 8th, Ole Miss 9th, LSU 13th,

Week 6: Will Texas A&M get a Top 10 scalp?

Missouri comes into Saturday’s game at Kyle Field with trepidation. It’s not because they haven’t played each other before (it’s 2-2 in SEC play since they both came into the conference in 2012), it’s because they were so lousy against Vanderbilt, while the Texas A&M-Marcel Reed combination has looked better and better. But there are other interesting games this Saturday too. Ole Miss can’t possibly play as badly as they did against Kentucky this week when they visit South Carolina, can they? Will No.4 Tennessee avoid problems at Arkansas? Will Alabama continue to roll against Vanderbilt? Can Georgia get over the ‘loss hangover’ at home to ancient rival Auburn? And will Florida continue to recover against UCF? Anyway, there are some

Week 5 Rankings: Alabama’s back at No.1 in the SEC

At the end of the season, we’ll be talking about great games. If the Alabama v Georgia game isn’t in your Top 2, you’re probably wrong. They played out a crazy, wonderful, game-of-two-halves classic that was finished with a crazy-brilliant touchdown by a kid who happens to be the 17-year old cousin of one Serena Williams Anyway, here are our rankings after Week 5 of the SEC season. 1. Alabama: Calen DeBoer’s gonna win games he should have lost (see last season v Oregon and Texas) and lose games he should have won. His clock management will be questionable. But through all of this, he will be bloody entertaining to watch. It’s gonna be some ride, Alabama fans. 2. Tennessee:

Week 4 SEC Power Rankings: Tennessee’s our New No.1

1. Tennessee (4-0):While Tennessee won’t go No.1 in the AP Polls, Tennessee now has two wins over ranked opponents – one of the only teams to do so in this early part of the season. The Vols aren’t just your hyperseedy, fun-and-gun offense that Josh Heupel often throws out, they’ll also grind you to the ground. This team is goooood, folks. 2. Texas (4-0): ARCH MANNING ARCH MANNING ARCH MANNING PICK ARCH MANNING TOUCHDOWNS ARCH MANNING HEISMAN CONFIRMED ARCH MANNING ARCH MANNING DON’T MATTER IF YOU PLAYED NOBODY TODAY ARCH MANNING ARCH MANNING 3. Georgia (3-0): Resounding win over bye week, which is above most of the opponents that have played Georgia so far this year. 4. Ole Miss (4-0): Offense

Week 4 Preview: Tennessee and Oklahoma in the ‘Stoops Bowl’!

If Tennessee and Oklahoma are playing the ‘Heupel Bowl’ on Saturday, then Florida and Mississippi State are playing “Horses**t Bowl” in Starkville. There’s also Arkansas and Auburn in the latest referendum on Sam Pittman’s job, Vanderbilt at Missouri, Ohio at Kentucky, Bowling Green at Texas A&M, Akron at South Carolina, Ole Miss’ latest joke of a home game when they play Georgia Southern, and who could forget Texas and Louisiana-Monroe? Oh, and there’s the LSU v UCLA game, which would have been a lot of fun two years ago. This year’s probably going to be a massacre. Anywhere, here are our Week 4 Preview, which are once again in order of games we’ll be caring about:   No.6 Tennessee (-6.5)

Week 4 SEC Rankings: Manning makes Texas roll, Georgia struggles

Here 1. Texas (3-0): DID YOU HEAR THAT ARCH MANNING TOOK OVER QUIN EWERS AGAINST UTSA AND HAD A PRETTY GREAT GAME? DID YOU?! DID YOU?!Anyway, the Longhorns didn’t miss a beat with Ewers leaving, and they won’t have to worry until Oklahoma the week after next.  2. Georgia (3-0): The Bulldogs may have been incredibly unimpressive in their 13-12 win over Kentucky on Saturday night, but there are the only team in the SEC to have beaten two FBS teams – including a SEC one on the road. 3. Tennessee (3-0): The Vols have been beating down teams at breakneck speed. We anticipated NC State would be test, and they won’t. Maybe Oklahoma’s defense will do something to stop

Week 3: Missouri’s in a ranked match-up!

After two games against basketball schools, No.6 Missouri finally has a team against a Power-4 team, and it’s Boston College, who have found themselves ranked (No.24). It’s the only ranked match-up in SEC play, although there is a helmet game when Alabama rolls into Camp Randall to play Wisconsin on what with a vociferous atmosphere. Having said all of that, South Carolina could go 2-0 in SEC play when No.17 LSU comes into town after thumping Kentucky on the road last week. Meanwhile, Georgia hosts Kentucky, Florida hosts Texas A&M, Ole Miss travels to Wake Forest, Oklahoma plays Tulane, and Arkansas hosts UAB, and Vanderbilt tries to go 3-0 at mighty Georgia State. Auburn plays New Mexico, it’s Mississippi State

Week 2 rankings: Texas is the King of the SEC (For now)

Texas fans are some of the most arrogant fans in the country. I would know, because I’ve lived here since 2019. When they aren’t beating anyone, they “should”, and when they are beating people, they’ll never lose. So when they moved to the SEC, they got a bit more honest. They thought they might struggle a bit, and started making their excuses. And then NIL came along, and Texas fans realized that all that oil money that had a burnt orange tinge to it could be thrown at players, and the school would pretty much overnight become the powerhouse it once was. Anyway, it’s all working out nicely. So here are our ranks: 1.Texas (2-0): Went to Michigan for one
