Greg Sankey is doing something that he hadn’t done for six months – telling SEC schools that if COVID numbers within teams are so bad that they are under the 53 person scholarship limit, they will forfeit games. “We still have roster minimums that exist, just like last year,” the SEC Commissioner said in his remarks at SEC Media Days. “What I’ve identified for consideration among our membership is we remove those roster minimums and you’re expected to play as scheduled. That means your team needs to be healthy to compete, and if not, that game won’t be rescheduled. And thus, to dispose of the game, the ‘forfeit’ word comes up at this point. That’s not policy, and what you

    If I’m a betting man, I make Georgia the favorite to win the SEC. Yes, there is the injury to George Pickens, its best wide receiver. OFFENSE But the Bulldogs have the most talented QB in the SEC (in experience, anyway) in JT Daniels, they still have a dynamite WR combo in Kearis Jackson and Jermaine Burton, and a filthy running back in Zamir White. The offensive line’s as stacked as you can get….and there are five-stars all over the field. Not only that, but Kirby Smart managed to get a ultra-talented former Clemson DB Derion Kendrick, and if Kendrick doesn’t repeat his behaviour at Clemson, where he was booted after police found him passed out in a

Thanks to years of success, we knew there were going to be a lot of Alabama players taken the NFL Draft. We just didn’t know how successful it would be as part of the SEC’s record 65 total players drafted. Ten Alabama players were taken in all, including six in the first round (Jaylen Waddle, Patrick Surtain, DeVonta Smith, Mac Jones, Alex Leatherwood and Najee Harris), two in the second round (Landon Dickerson and Christian Barmore), and two more in the sixth round (Deonte Brown, Thomas Fletcher). Linebacker Dylan Moses was surprisingly undrafted but was quickly swallowed by the Jaguars, while TE Miller Forristall signed a deal with the Tennessee Titans. Even Carl Tucker – a TE who didn’t play

    Now the Spring Games are finished, it’s time to think about the schedules. We don’t know right now who is in the conference schedule, so we rank the games in order of what we’re excited about. I’m usually less-than-excited about games played on a neutral field, but this year, I’ll make an exception…. THE FANTASTIC  Georgia vs Clemson (September 4): This is going to be a monster. Both teams are expected to compete/ get into the play-off, and we can’t wait to see some of the best players in the country. Drool. Auburn at Penn State (September 18): Auburn play a Big Ten team in regular season play for the first time since 1931 (they played a 7-7

        The NCAA yesterday at their annual meeting said that – through all sports – that all athletes who transfer will be granted immediate eligibility for the season after they transfer, instead of having to wait a year. This means that SEC teams will be able to ‘add’ players at speed, rather than wait on the indecision of high school players who might or might not want to come to their campus. At the start, it’ll mean the rich get richer. Nick Saban – speaking before Alabama’s Spring Practice Day – said: “We have thought about a strategy that we’re going to use,” Saban said. “You’ve heard me speak about this before, but now that it is
