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

Week 3: Missouri’s in a ranked match-up!

After two games against basketball schools, No.6 Missouri finally has a team against a Power-4 team, and it’s Boston College, who have found themselves ranked (No.24). It’s the only ranked match-up in SEC play, although there is a helmet game when Alabama rolls into Camp Randall to play Wisconsin on what with a vociferous atmosphere. Having said all of that, South Carolina could go 2-0 in SEC play when No.17 LSU comes into town after thumping Kentucky on the road last week. Meanwhile, Georgia hosts Kentucky, Florida hosts Texas A&M, Ole Miss travels to Wake Forest, Oklahoma plays Tulane, and Arkansas hosts UAB, and Vanderbilt tries to go 3-0 at mighty Georgia State. Auburn plays New Mexico, it’s Mississippi State

Week 2 rankings: Texas is the King of the SEC (For now)

Texas fans are some of the most arrogant fans in the country. I would know, because I’ve lived here since 2019. When they aren’t beating anyone, they “should”, and when they are beating people, they’ll never lose. So when they moved to the SEC, they got a bit more honest. They thought they might struggle a bit, and started making their excuses. And then NIL came along, and Texas fans realized that all that oil money that had a burnt orange tinge to it could be thrown at players, and the school would pretty much overnight become the powerhouse it once was. Anyway, it’s all working out nicely. So here are our ranks: 1.Texas (2-0): Went to Michigan for one

WEEK 2 SEC Predictions: Can Texas beat Michigan?

When a National title pretender goes to last year’s National Championship winner — and it’s two of the biggest name’s in college football – everyone’s gonna be pretty excited.

It’s Christmas-time.

SEC END OF SEASON AWARDS

It’s award season, so we want to throw around some awards ourselves, before those Heisman people get in our way and make us look bad. So here we go. Some of them for the best….some of them for the worst. Thanks for a wonderful season. FEEL FREE TO TELL US WHERE WE WERE WRONG! SEC HEISMAN Jayden Daniels (LSU): Daniels hardly put a foot wrong this season, throwing for 3,800 yards and 40 TDs and rushing for 1,100 yards more and 10 more. He’s on the real Heisman favorite, too. Nominated: Cody Schrader (Missouri), Jaxson Dart (Ole Miss) Jayden Daniels won the Heisman. SEC RUSHER OF THE YEAR Cody Schrader (Missouri): Ran for 1,499 yards and 13 yards in the

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

Your SEC Turkey Day(s) Preview!

So it’s Thanksgiving. You’ve had 400 pounds worth of turkey, eaten too much bacon, stuffed yourself with too much stuffing, and listened to Uncle Leonard drone on about ‘woke’ society, and you look at your phone. “Gotta go”, you say. “It’s Egg Bowl time”. Thank God for The Egg Bowl. Whatever the year is, and however poor one or both teams are, there are two things that are certain. Firstly, that they will play each other on Thanksgiving Evening and give us a break from Uncle Leonard. Secondly, they absolutely hate each other, to the point that an Ole Miss instagram was firing around alleged conversations between Mississippi State QB Will Rogers and an unnamed Ole Miss chick. On Friday,
