      Last year, Texas A&M was the most interesting conversation in the SEC. After their win over Florida, we all asked the question: “Should they be in the play-off?”. We questioned Ohio State’s credentials. We argued to death about Notre Dame prior to the Irish getting the green kicked out of them by Clemson in the ACC Championship Game. Sadly, the Aggies didn’t go the Play-Off – which they arguably deserved ahead 7-0 Ohio State – and there we remained asking more questions. So in 2021, will they finally succeed on reaching Everest? OFFENSE Although he had his issues in his game against Vanderbilt, Kellen Mond came on as quite the leader in 2020 for the Aggies, finishing

News came through yesterday that Myles Brennan – the heir to Joe Burrow before he was hurt in 2020 – injured a shoulder and will need a season-ending operation this year, too. Of course, this is sad news for Tiger Nation – but what does it do to LSU’s QB Depth? Now that Brennan’s injured, and last year’s replacement QB TJ Finley transferred to Auburn (in an effort to fight for the job when current incumbent Bo Nix leaves), LSU’s has a real problem with depth. There’s no denying that the job is basically in the hands of Max Johnson – who started LSU’s last two games – if he doesn’t get injured, too. Johnson had a pretty good set

OK, I was wrong. I thought: ‘There’s no way Texas and Oklahoma are going to get into the SEC’. Yeah….so…. According to widespread reporting, it looks as though Oklahoma and Texas will be let into the SEC sometime next week in a 13-1 voting landslide. According to Austin-American Statesman writer Kirk Bohls, who’s as inside-as-you-get with the Longhorn family, the SEC will vote to extend invitations to the ‘Horns and Sooners sometime next week, with only one school objecting to what’s going on. Now it’s being reported by the Athletic’s Bruce Feldman and Sam Khan that Texas and Oklahoma will inform the Big 12 that they are planning to leave. Yesterday the Big 12 had a meeting to work out

Texas and Oklahoma have reached out to the SEC about leaving the Big 12 and joining College Football’s best conference, the Houston Chronicle has reported. The news came out as Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher was giving his press conference at SEC Media Days. When asked about it, he said that it wasn’t surprising they’d want to join because ‘We’ve got the greatest league in ball.’ Apparently, Texas A&M was furious with the thought of their two sworn enemies coming into the conference – particularly as one of the reasons they left in the first place was because ESPN paid Texas an awful lot of money for its own TV network. So we look at the pros and cons

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
