Lazy Saturday? Not us! SEC Rankings 1-14 After Week 6

After hammering y’all with country music, we decided to chill out a little bit for the soundtrack to the next load of rankings – it’s a dance track called ‘Lazy’. If you don’t enjoy it, sorry. Anyway, with this in mind, here’s our SEC Power Rankings After Week 6, where there’s been more than a little change. 1) Alabama – Nick Saban is all-powerful – so much so that HE WANTS NO HUDDLE OFFENSES STOPPED. So is this Alabama program at the moment. The question: How would they do against an Oregon or West Virginia? Quite well, we think… 2) South Carolina – I thought Florida was the pick of the SEC East until I saw South Carolina demolish Georgia

Gators, Gamecocks crow as Georgia, LSU stumble: 10 Points about Week 6

Wow. On ‘Moving Day’ in the SEC, the elevator up took South Carolina and Florida, and on the way down it took Georgia, LSU, and Auburn as it fell. Anyway, here’s some 10 points about Week 10 in the SEC. And the music we’re going to bring with it is Brad Paisley’s ‘Southern Comfort Zone’. If you love your NASCAR, you’ll love some of the noises at the start. 1) South Carolina absolutely crucified Georgia. It wasn’t the scoreline (35-7) that astonished us, but it was the brutish manner that the Gamecocks did it in one of the noisiest arenas in the SEC. Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor humiliated Georgia’s offensive line, limited Aaron Murray to 11-31 for just 109

Saturday is Moving Day SEC Preview Week 6

Regardless of how the SEC is standing this year, Saturday is ‘Moving Day’ In the SEC, where we’ll see actually how good the four of the top five SEC teams are….when they play each other. The CBS game – which must infuriate all fans looking for the all-day Gator get-together/bender in Gainseville, is showing Florida entertaining LSU, while on Saturday night Georgia visits South Carolina and their Dawg Nation’s vaunted enemy, Steve Spurrier. It’s going to be a great weekend, folks…….let’s enjoy the ride. LSU vs Florida This game always stands out on the calendar, and many can see why: It’s usually a good one. Our favorite part from recent years was back in 2010, when a fake field goal

Amen, Sister!! SEC Rankings 1-14 After Week 5

This blog site’s SEC ranking ain’t gonna change the world. But they are a lot of fun to do – and we’ll supply reasons, too! Anyway, here’s our 1-14. There are some changes, but Lord knows how many. The soundtrack is Kid Rock’s “Only God Knows Why”. 1) Alabama – Only God Knows Why this team is so, so good. Is it Saban? Is it luck? Is it the coaching staff in its entireity? Is it team spirit? 2) South Carolina – Because Only God Knows Why this team was so awful in the first half on Saturday against Kentucky, and so great in the second. 3) Georgia – Only God Knows if the Dawgs are going to sort out their

LSU, UGA’s Secondary Whimpers While Texas A&M Roars: SEC Week 5

Everyone talked before this week started that Week 5 was going to be one of the duller on College Football’s calendar – and maybe in college football’s history (ESPN love to do overdo it, don’t they?). Many felt that College Gameday SHOULD have gone down South to Texas at Oklahoma State or Baylor at West Virginia, but instead went to Ohio State at Michigan State. Or to Sanford Stadium for the Tennesee – Georgia game. But they whiffed. Instead they chose an out-an-out war between OSU and MSU, worthy of the ‘old days’ of college football where we loved brawn and battle, while all the three other games we’ve mentioned showed a ton of excitement and no defensive discipline at

SEC! SEC! SEC! Week 5 Predictions

Now that Arkansas has dived so downwards, there is no argument about what is the biggest game in the SEC this week: Tennessee’s trip to Georgia. The last time people were this psyched up for a Tennessee game was a couple of weeks ago. The fans were wearing orange. They weren’t too happy about the Florida result (but then again, they haven’t been happy about that for years!!). But Mark Richt’s appealing to Sanford to ‘be loud’ and wear red. Without being rude, Mark, but isn’t that what Georgia fans tend to wear for games anyway? Our sympathies of the week go to the Georgia student who bought more black bodypaint that red bodypaint for this game. Anyway, we’ve just

After Notre Dame: SEC Rivalries The Conference Needs

For the sporting man like us, there’s always someone you love and someone you hate. For the SEC fan, the someone we love is our SEC team and the one we hate is their biggest rival. See Auburn and Alabama for example. Now, the madness that is the conference realignment has meant that one of college football’s best rivalry games – Notre Dame and Michigan – dies after 2014, going the way of West Virginia and Pittsburgh, and the One We Pray Will Get Resurrected, The Texas A&M- Texas game. Yes, we know that A&M are in the SEC now, but if Georgia can manage to play Georgia Tech, Florida can play Florida State and South Carolina can play Clemson,

Tide Rolls while Tigers, Hogs Roast: SEC Football Blog’s SEC 1-14

We admit it: We at the SEC Football Blog should have done more with our SEC Power Rankings (ie start in the first week), but there’s been very little on offer until now, and now we know a bit, we think we can provide some analysis to go with our picks. The soundtrack for today’s picks is Brad Paisley’s ‘Old Alabama’, because right now, Nick Saban’s the new Bear Bryant. 1. Alabama (4-0): The Crimson Tide have rolled everyone they have played against. No team has looked this complete this early. Sure, there are big tests to come (read: LSU on the road on Nov. 3rd), but Nick Saban is the best coach in college football. His team looks up

A Few Things about Saturday’s SEC games: Week 4

‘Twas another interesting week for the SEC. Georgia and South Carolina made statements. Florida rolled Kentucky. LSU struggled with three touchdown ‘dogs Auburn amid the atmosphere of Jordan-Hare, but got away with a victory. Ole Miss, Mississippi State, and Texas A&M both hammered their non-conference opponents to go 3-1, and Tennessee went 3-1 by doing the same to Akron. Oh, and some team called Alabama remained perfect by bulldozing Florida Atlantic. But there was one other team to talk about….. 1) Arkansas (unfortunately for the SEC), is the team to talk about. Playing against Rutgers with Tyler Wilson back, the Razorbacks put up 492 total yards, with 419 of those coming from the wonder-arm of their once Heisman Trophy candidate.

SEC Predictions: Week 4

Last Saturday saw College Gameday once again decide to visit SEC Country, where the gang hit up Knoxville, TN for the Tennessee-Florida Game. Tons more exicitement than there had been in years for fans of Big Orange….same old result against those Gators. Anyway, this week, Gameday’s off to travel to the University of Florida’s little brother in Tallahassee, where the mighty ‘Noles will stick their flaming spear in the University of South Carolina’s little brother and make them enjoy it. Anyway, this one should be exciting. While in the SEC, we’ve got the ‘Tiger War’ between LSU and Auburn at Jordan-Hare which should have an atmosphere which is off the hook, an East game between Georgia and Vanderbilt that ended
