If there is one team that’s utterly predictable in the last six years in the SEC, it’s Kentucky. Only once in the last six years have the Wildcats lost less than 5 games, and only twice in the last six years have the Wildcats won more than six. They’ve taken advantage of a weak SEC East by consistently beating Missouri (5-1 over that time, Vanderbilt (5-1) and South Carolina (5-1). They aren’t bad against Tennessee (2-4), but against Florida (1-5) and Georgia (0-6), they’ve been hopeless. Against permanent cross-division rival Mississippi State they’ve been moderately successful (3-3), but they’ve not been able to beat Alabama, Auburn, LSU or LSU (although smaller sample sizes). The only team they’ve got a winning

In a way, LSU exemplified a lot of teams in the SEC: Lots of offense, not a lot of defense. The two most balanced teams – Alabama and Texas A&M – were in the Top 5 in the country – and even Florida (6th) had issues stopping people. Look, we knew that LSU would take a step back from their set-the-world-alight 2020. The good players either declared for the draft, or decided to opted out for COVID reasons, or opt out during the season. Basically, LSU was a running a threadbare organisation. But we didn’t know how threadbare they were until they stepped on the field against Mississippi State….and were outplayed by them. And yees, you would have expected losses to

Yesterday the SEC invited Texas and Oklahoma to the party, starting 2025. Texas and Oklahoma unanimously accepted it – probably the first time they’ve agreed on anything in 401 years. So here we are. And there have been various theories about how it’s going to be split: Pods – This was seen on the SEC Network, but goes generally like this:  North: Kentucky, Missouri, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South: Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi State East: Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss West: Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M As to whom would play in the SEC Championship Game, it would be the two teams with the best records. Although some might want a SEC semi-final and final, this wouldn’t work because the max

Although the Sarah Fuller news made us all smile, last season was so bad for the Vanderbilt Commodores before the season with the transfers and opt-outs that the 0-9 season that happened seemed inevitable from Day 1, and it came true in an awful way. Several times they played like an episode of ‘300’, fighting monster schools valiantly with a roster of under 53, but still playing the games anyway. It was sad, and not even uplifting. In fact, it so awful that Vanderbilt fired its head coach Derek Mason, replacing him with Notre Dame assistant Clark Lea (Let’s not feel too sorry for Mason, who’s getting paid $1.5m at Auburn to be the new DC). So can they avoid
