Is Alabama or Auburn the best team in the SEC? Week 11 SEC rankings

Right, Week 11 is done and dusted in College Football Lore, and all you’ll hear for the next two weeks is: “Miami is back” and “I can’t ****ing wait for the Iron Bowl”. While we know about the media excitement about Miami being back, the thought that Alabama visiting its two-loss rival before the Georgia game wouldn’t have given the insides a lot to stir about – especially from a College Play-Off perspective. And then Georgia came to visit, and was slaughtered – so much so that Auburn’s QB Jarrett Stidham didn’t stay in the whole game. The Dawgs couldn’t stop Kerryon Johnson, who savaged Georgia’s front four in a way very similar to the way their own Bulldog pairing

Can Auburn upset Georgia? Week 11 SEC Predictions

Georgia might be the top team in the country, but it’s biggest test of the season may well not have come at Notre Dame in Week 2….it may come in the form of hated rival Auburn at 3.30pm on Saturday. The Georgia-Auburn game, one of the South’s oldest rivalries, will be compelling viewing…..far above other games. No.2 Alabama is going to No.16 Mississippi State, who will be looking for their second major scalp in Cowbell Country after they blew out LSU earlier in the season. Speaking of the Tigers, they host an awful Arkansas team. In the East, Butch Jones’ assumed leaving party will continue with a trip to surging Missouri, which is playing better than most people expected this

SEC FANS: WHY YOU’RE GONNA FIRE YOUR COACH

There are 13 coaches left in the SEC (Florida already fired Jim McElwain at the speed of a swimming shark, so they aren’t on the list), which means that all 13 could get fired at season’s end. We think it’s pretty unlikely, but knowing how many are on the hot-seat RIGHT NOW, anything could damned well happen. So here’s our 1-13 list. 1) TENNESSEE — BECAUSE WE WANT CHAMPIONS OF THE SEC, NOT CHAMPIONS OF LIFE, YOU HORSE’S ASS.  Because Butch Jones is a Champion of Life, but Tennessee is trash- like his sideline garbage can. Blowout losses to Alabama and Georgia probably pissed Orange Nation off, but heartbreak losses to Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina – without looking particularly unlucky in

Alabama keeps rolling, while Missouri surges: Week 10 SEC Rankings

Week 10 wasn’t set up to be too much of a weird weekend. Of course there was Bedlam out in Oklahoma, a perhaps-tricky trip for Ohio State to Iowa and a perhaps-tricky trip for Penn State at Michigan State, and then…and then….real bedlam happened. Oklahoma beat Oklahoma State 65-55 (yes, we’re serious), Iowa beat the living crap out of Ohio State, and Penn State lost after a three-hour lightning delay to Michigan State. In the SEC, though, nothing really happened. Alabama and Georgia both rolled (although not a hugely as we would have anticipated), Auburn went to Texas A&M and kicked the crap out of them, while Arkansas and Mississippi State rolled out painful victories. Ole Miss beat Kentucky in a

Will Alabama continue to roll against LSU? Week 10 Predictions

It’s LSU-Alabama weekend, which means we’ve got a SEC doubleheader. The other game’s going to be in Athens for new No.1 Georgia, who host South Carolina. Otherwise, a lot of eyes are going to be on Missouri for Florida’s visit to Columbia – mainly because of the changed storyline that comes with firing your head coach midway through the season, as Florida did. Then there’s the expectancy that no-one’s going to show up to Neyland for Southern Miss’ visit to Tennessee as a protest against Butch Jones, and Ole Miss vs Kentucky ain’t exactly one for the neutrals, either. But one game we love is Auburn vs Texas A&M. It’s such a damned pity that the game’s going to be
