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

Harsin out at Auburn: Who’s next?

Finally, Bryan Harsin’s been fired at Auburn. After less than two seasons. The hire was hated by Auburn fans and boosters alike when AD Allen Greene – now departed – ignored the noise, went out West, and brought his coach in from Boise State. A good Pac-12 school maybe, but Boise f***ing state? After last season, the knives were out. The Auburn boosters tried everything but storming Harsin’s house to get the coach out, trying to persecute Harsin for God knows what. Harsin said at the SEC Media Days: “I know some of you are sitting here looking at me didn’t expect back for my second SEC Media Day…“It was uncomfortable, unfounded, and it presented an opportunity for people to

SEC Week 5 Preview: LSU goes to Auburn, Arkansas v Alabama

Honestly, writing this preview seems a little worthless bearing in mind Hurricane Ian and its effect on SEC territory. The University of Florida and their players will be watching the game with heavy hearts, bearing in mind the devestation around the State. South Carolina already got ahead of the game by playing South Carolina State on Thursday. It was a slaughter as Carolina won 50-10. Spencer Rattler AGAIN wasn’t a highlight, throwing 2 TDs but also 2 picks. MarShawn Lloyd led the running backs with 91 yards and a TD (and a TD reception, too). For Saturday, Alabama’s trip to Arkansas, Auburn’s trip to LSU, and Kentucky’s trip to Ole Miss highlights the schedule. There’s an underrated potential beauty in

Week 4 SEC rankings: Tennessee’s our No.1

This season, I have been consistently hit by the fact that Tennessee should be ranked as the No.1 team in the SEC, and maybe the No.2 team in the country. It’s not because of the Josh Heupel offense or because I’ve automatically decided that orange is my favorite colour – it’s because Tennessee has beaten two ranked sides, and Alabama and Georgia has only beaten one. There is no ‘common opponent’ between Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. There will be when the Vols play both teams, but right now, the Vols have had the harder of all three schedules. Each have played SEC teams. Georgia and Alabama destroyed South Carolina and Vanderbilt respectively, but Tennessee beat a better opponent in Florida.

Week 2 Ratings: Texas A&M leads the headlines (and not in a good way)

Although everyone was focussed about a little game in Austin pitching two of the most hated superpowers in College Football against each other, the biggest result against happened in (relative) far away College Station, when Texas A&M was defeated 17-14 by Appalachian State, capping off a wonderful weekend for the Sun Belt. Elsewhere, Kentucky surprised Florida and made AR looking ordinary, KJ Jefferson led Arkansas to a convincing win over South Carolina and Missouri was kerb-stomped by Kansas State. Most of the other games went to form. Personally speaking, our big whiff was predicting a Vanderbilt win over Wake Forest. We didn’t think Sam Hartman would be back for the Demon Deacons. And boy, were we wrong. WHO WERE WE

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

SEC vs SEC: National Championship Preview

The problem with watching two teams that already played each other about a month ago is that mentally, you’re prepared for a dull slog. And however much Atlanta might dress it up to be otherwise, that’s what it feels like. So on Monday night – when Georgia faces Alabama in a replay of last month’s SEC Championship Game, it’s going to be difficult to get excited. Especially if you’re an Auburn fan, who’s confused about which team they want to fail MORE. Georgia’s a three-point favorite in Vegas, by the way. SO WHAT DO ALABAMA HAVE TO DO TO WIN ‘SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME NO.2’?   Play better on the offensive line: Alabama’s offensive line performance against Cincinnati was honestly pretty
