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 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

WEEK 2 SEC Predictions: Can Texas beat Michigan?

When a National title pretender goes to last year’s National Championship winner — and it’s two of the biggest name’s in college football – everyone’s gonna be pretty excited. College Gameday AND Fox’s Preview Show are going to be at Texas v Michigan. The place is obviously sold-out. It’s a massive test of where both teams are. Elsewhere in the SEC, it’s going to be a fun game between ranked NC State and Tennessee,  No.16 Oklahoma State visiting Arkansas, and the first SEC Conference match-up between South Carolina and Kentucky. And there’s also the match-up between Mississippi State and Arizona State which will be a riveting indication of wonderful football. So here we go (in terms of games weren’t interested

SEC Championship Preview (and others): Georgia v Alabama, folks

Before the season, if you said that Georgia and Alabama would be playing this weekend at the SEC Championship Game, you wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. But after the Alabama generally dreadful performances at the start of the season, including one where Crimson Tide had struggled – and I mean struggled – against South Florida, the prevailing thought that they wouldn’t make it was 60-40. Alabama was definitely helped by three factors: LSU couldn’t find a defense, and Auburn couldn’t work out a defense on 4th and 31. Oh, and Lane Kiffin continued his trend of ineptitude against Top 10 opponents. The third was Jalin Milroe, a freshman out of Katy, TX, who ran like Vince Young and had enough

SEC END OF SEASON AWARDS

It’s award season, so we want to throw around some awards ourselves, before those Heisman people get in our way and make us look bad. So here we go. Some of them for the best….some of them for the worst. Thanks for a wonderful season. FEEL FREE TO TELL US WHERE WE WERE WRONG! SEC HEISMAN Jayden Daniels (LSU): Daniels hardly put a foot wrong this season, throwing for 3,800 yards and 40 TDs and rushing for 1,100 yards more and 10 more. He’s on the real Heisman favorite, too. Nominated: Cody Schrader (Missouri), Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) Jayden Daniels won the Heisman. SEC RUSHER OF THE YEAR Cody Schrader (Missouri): Ran for 1,499 yards and 13 yards in the

Adieu, CBS

Like any good divorces, it finished because of money. CBS had the media deal of a lifetime, only spending $825 million to the SEC on a 15-year contract, giving the schools $55 million per year each and itself the primary rights to each weekend. They refused to move on the ‘Best Contract On Earth’, and when ESPN threw in a $3 billion, 10-year offer for the conference, the SEC jumped at it. And so at this year’s SEC Championship game, we say goodbye to an old friend…. On Saturday afternoon, we bid goodbye to CBS’ coverage on CBS, which has been the partner of the Conference That Means The Most for 20 years. Most of the coverage of the last

Your SEC Turkey Day(s) Preview!

So it’s Thanksgiving. You’ve had 400 pounds worth of turkey, eaten too much bacon, stuffed yourself with too much stuffing, and listened to Uncle Leonard drone on about ‘woke’ society, and you look at your phone. “Gotta go”, you say. “It’s Egg Bowl time”. Thank God for The Egg Bowl. Whatever the year is, and however poor one or both teams are, there are two things that are certain. Firstly, that they will play each other on Thanksgiving Evening and give us a break from Uncle Leonard. Secondly, they absolutely hate each other, to the point that an Ole Miss instagram was firing around alleged conversations between Mississippi State QB Will Rogers and an unnamed Ole Miss chick. On Friday,
