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

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

Here’s who won the SEC QB Battles

Every SEC starting QB apart from Mississippi State has been named. Here’s an outline of what SEC head coaches have done. THE CERTAINTIES ALABAMA: BRYCE YOUNG. Young was named starter on 8/30. After coming to Tuscaloosa as one of the top QBs in the 2020 recruiting cycle, everyone has been excited about seeing this Californian prospect start. He has already been mentioned as having a Heisman chance. ARKANSAS: KJ JEFFERSON. Although there’s meant to be a quarterback battle in Fayetteville, Razorbacks head coach Sam Pittman has been fawning over Jefferson’s play so much, that everyone else is obviously stepping back from the sophomore, now that Felipe Franks has gone to the NFL. AUBURN: BO NIX This is the year. Bo

10 SEC players we can’t wait to see in the NFL

The SEC has been a goldmine for the NFL. Players from all over the South (and Missouri) descend to the Professional-land, and every year, the leagues are stacked. Some are megastars (Odell Beckham Jr, Mark Ingram), some are bit players, but all of them played for the most passionate conference in college football. To off-quote New York: If you can make there, you can make it anywhere. Anyway, the SEC Football Blog has identified 10 players that we can’t wait to tear up the professional leagues – mainly because they are so damned exciting. Oh, and Alabama and Georgia fans: We weren’t going to put all of your players onto this list, so apologies if some of your competitors make

Previewing The Iron Bowl and every other #RivalryWeek game in the SEC

Because it gives me a chance to ignore the extended family and watch football for three days, I love Rivalry Weekend. It starts with the Egg Bowl on Thanksgiving night, and then moves through like a hurricane until the regular season (sniff! Sniff!) winds up at the end of Saturday. This rivalry week for the SEC looks pretty damned special. There’s an Iron Bowl at Auburn, with Alabama visiting. We’ll hear the words ‘Kick Six’ mentioned a lot, and Harvey Updyke’s name may crop up ever so often. The story that’ll probably get missed this week is about Rodney Alexander, an Alabama fan who shot an Auburn fan this week over an Iron Bowl disagreement. That almost puts Updyke and
