THE WEEK ONE SEC RANKING LIST

  Without further ado (and without focus on the SEC’s 1-3 record against Power-5 teams this week) here we goooo……. Vanderbilt (2-0): BECAUSE THEY ARE 2-0 BABY! AND THE RECORD MATTERS!!  Tennessee (1-0): BECAUSE THEY WERE THE ONLY SEC TEAM TO BEAT A POWER-5 TEAM EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF NON POWER-5 TEAMS AND MAYBE A COUPLE OF FCS TEAMS WOULD HAVE BEATEN THAT POWER-5 TEAM!! Oh, and Joe Milton’s 21-30, 201 yard, 2 TD effort (where he shone out at times), was excellent.  Kentucky (1-0): Beat a team that’s expected to be a title contender in the MAC. Look, it was hardly a perfect performance on the offense, especially in the first half from Golden Boy Devin Leary. But

The questions that you’d really like to ask each SEC coach

Every week, SEC head coaches come to the podium. And every week, they are thrown softballs by the members of the press. They are asked about quarterbacking situations, how they feel about practice, and in roundabout terms, what the situation is with certain players, who get themselves in trouble. But there’s a question (or two) that we’d like a SEC coach to answer this offseason. And won’t. ALABAMA: “Mr Saban, how did it feel when David Pollack said on air that Alabama’s crown has now been taken over Georgia on College Gameday when he was sat next to you? Were you more pissed off at Pollack or the College Gameday people, and why didn’t they give you the chance to

New ’24 schedule sets up some SEC monster clashes

The arrival of Texas and Oklahoma may have people fuming about the teams voting not to go to a nine game schedule, but this hasn’t stopped the SEC from putting together some monster clashes for the 2024 year, which will lack divisions. THE ‘WE JUST WALKED INTO A CAULDRON’ TEAM Texas will play Georgia and Florida at home, while going on the road to Arkansas (who hate their guts) and Texas A&M (who hate them even more). There’s also the Red River Rivalry to boot. Oh, and they also travel to the Big House to play Michigan (Home dates with Kentucky and Mississippi State and a road game at Vanderbilt make it a bit palatable, but STILL). Oklahoma gets Alabama, Tennessee

All Hail The Kings of the SEC!

“Long Live The King!” “Long Live The King!” “Long Live The King!” The damned British can’t stop yelling that today. Frankly, I’ve got too much of a hangover from the non-Mexican Mexican holiday of Cinco De Mayo, which gave me far too much excuse to get wasted on margaritas and eat at taco from which I am, ahem, not feeling great this morning. In my daze, I wrote down who were the 14 Kings of the SEC. We’re taking out the crazy boosters, because Texas isn’t here yet. Anyway, here we are: ALABAMA Bear Bryant: Bear Bryant’s “The Bear”. Nick Saban can bring 20 National Championships to Tuscaloosa in the next 20 years, but he ain’t The Bear, and he

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

South Carolina grabs two top transfers from portal

South Carolina has made the early SEC splash in the transfer portal by getting commitments from former Oklahoma QB Spencer Rattler, and his teammate Austin Stogner. This will significantly upgrade South Carolina’s offensive room, where they were a putrid 109th out of 130 in points-per-game. Rattler and Stogner leave as part of a wave of players leaving Norman after head coach Lincoln Riley departed for USC (the other one!) two weeks ago. And while it is hardly a surprise bearing in mind that South Carolina head coach Shane Beamer worked on Oklahoma’s staff from 2018 to 2020 as an assistant head coach as well tight ends coach. Gamecocks fans will be hoping to see the QB who was a preseason
