That was a Kirby-Stomping, Dawgs

At the start of this season, after Kirby Smart’s baptized Dan Lanning’s debut at Oregon with an annihilation in the Mercedes-Benz Stadium, the Georgia coach about his former defensive coordinator’s team: “He knows we have better players. He’ll never say that, but he knows we’ve got better players.“ At the time, it sounded punch-in-your face arrogant, and prime bulletin-board material. Before the 65-7 beatdown of TCU, Kirby Smart was thinking the same thing. After the 65-7 beatdown of TCU, you KNOW Kirby Smart – although he probably didn’t admit it – was thinking the same thing. The talent differential was so wide that even what TCU brought it back within three (10-7), there was never panic stations for the Bulldogs.

Georgia is Thanos, Get out of the way

When Kirby Smart started rolling out the classes that he did, Georgia fans went from the ‘expecting-but-really-hoping’ type to ‘expecting’ type. This season, with Alabama disappointing as much as they did, Georgia has become inevitable. Inevitable teams in college football don’t sideswipe others out of the way. Remember Thanos had his struggles with The Avengers before eventually taking things over. Georgia’s struggles weren’t with the best of ’em. They were plain bad against Kent State and even worse against Missouri, but came through those battles. And the war against Ohio State? The much-vaunted Bulldogs defense was shredded for most part of that game, but they came back. The missed field goal from Ohio State at the end of the game

SEC Championship Game: Will there actually be an upset in Atlanta?

The SEC has had quite the week. If it wasn’t for Hugh Freeze returning to head coaching in the SEC like a cockroach, it was College Football expansion. Oh, and there were darker stories around the University of Florida, where back-up QB Jalen Kitna was arrested and jailed on child pornography charges. Well on Saturday, it’s time for business: The SEC Championship Game between No.1 Georgia (-17.5 O/U 52.5) and No.14 LSU.  On the face of it, this should be an absolute cakewalk for the Bulldogs. LSU has just been housed by Texas A&M, who ran roughshod on the Tigers, who actually had the ‘Fightin’ taken away from them after such a shitty performance against a team that’s missing a

College Football Play-Off firms up future plans

After years of argument, we finally know what’s going on. College Football will have its 12-team play-off, starting in the 2024 season. This gives us one more year of arguing and raging, before we argue and rage about 50 more teams that should have made the 12. Anyhoo, the six highest-ranked conference champions in the 10 college football conferences will earn a spot, as well as six at-large bids. This means that it’s guaranteed that a Group-Of-Give team (or two, which could happen if the Sun Belt continues its upwards trajectory and the AAC continues to vastly improve) gets in, which is pleasing. SO WHAT HAPPENS ABOUT THE GAMES? The Rose, Cotton, Orange, Sugar, Fiesta and Peach Bowls will host

Week 11 Review: Bad week for Kentucky, another one for Texas A&M

The news that Texas A&M had a shitty weekend is hardly surprising. Jimbo Fisher’s side is on one of the worst slide’s in his career, and certainly in the Aggies’ small SEC history. It’s so bad that you wouldn’t shocked if there’s the sort of field invasion that there was in 2021 when the Aggies turned over Alabama…even though the competition is UMass. This week it was a fired-up Auburn, who filled Jordan-Hare in the best atmosphere of the week despite having one of the worst SEC records of the lot. But the big surprise to us was the shocking performance produced by Kentucky, who lost at home to Vanderbilt. I thought Kentucky was meant to be ranked and have

Week 11 Preview: Can Arkansas nuke LSU’s SEC West plans?

OK. So there’s going to be a fun game in Oxford at 2.30pm God’s time when Alabama goes to Ole Miss to play. There’s the Nick Saban v Lane Kiffin experience (both united over their hatred of Jimbo Fisher), and there’s the old lines getting trotted out about Alabama being on their knees. But in our view, the biggest game of the week isn’t that. It’s LSU’s trip to Arkansas in a game that could be a Hangover Saturday for the Tigers. However bad Arkansas was in the game against Liberty, they could have tied in the final seconds. And with KJ Jefferson, watch out. Elsewhere, Georgia goes to Mississippi State, Missouri’s ‘great-defense-but-no-offense’ travels to ‘All-Offense-Poor-Defense’ Tennessee, South Carolina goes

SEC Week 10 Preview: Cancel your diary from 3.30 onwards in SEC land

If you’re on Death Row, it’s your last few days before the fryer and you’re somehow reading this article alongside a lot of pornographic material that the wardens have given you before your journey to the Great Unknown, I’d like to give you some advice: Plead that your last week should be spent watching college football – especially SEC Football. At 3.30pm ET (2.30 pm God’s time), No.1 Tennessee rolls into No.3 Georgia with the SEC East on the line. And if things go really badly for the one of the sides, potentially a College Football Play-Off place, too. Later on, No.6 Alabama rolls into Death Valley to face LSU. Even if the scoreline’s out of hand, it’s always pretty

Prayers from the SEC

As we know, the ‘Supreme’ Court made a ruling yesterday that public school officials could pray, because it’s a First Amendment thing. With that in mind, here’s a few public SEC figures that we think could deliver one hell of a prayer. And this includes Texas and Oklahoma, because we believe in Prophecy (Manning 3: 42). Nick Saban: “Lord, please let me have all the National Championships, all the five-star recruits, have $1 billion for NIL, and to beat everyone into the ****ing ground every year.” Auburn: “Lord, please show us another head coach after you rid us of Evil Brian mid-season. And we pray that it’s not the return of that tool TT, who has proved to be an embarrassment
