Wow. On 'Moving Day' in the SEC, the elevator up took South Carolina and Florida, and on the way down it took Georgia, LSU, and Auburn as it fell.
Anyway, here's some 10 points about Week 10 in the SEC.
And the music we're going to bring with it is Brad Paisley's 'Southern Comfort Zone'. If you love your NASCAR, you'll love some of the noises at the start.
1) South Carolina absolutely crucified Georgia. It wasn't the scoreline (35-7) that astonished us, but it was the brutish manner that the Gamecocks did it in one of the noisiest arenas in the SEC. Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor humiliated

Regardless of how the SEC is standing this year, Saturday is 'Moving Day' In the SEC, where we'll see actually how good the four of the top five SEC teams are....when they play each other.
The CBS game - which must infuriate all fans looking for the all-day Gator get-together/bender in Gainseville, is showing Florida entertaining LSU, while on Saturday night Georgia visits South Carolina and their Dawg Nation's vaunted enemy, Steve Spurrier.
It's going to be a great weekend, folks.......let's enjoy the ride.
LSU vs Florida
This game always stands out on the calendar, and many can see

This blog site's SEC ranking ain't gonna change the world. But they are a lot of fun to do - and we'll supply reasons, too!
Anyway, here's our 1-14. There are some changes, but Lord knows how many.
The soundtrack is Kid Rock's "Only God Knows Why".
1) Alabama - Only God Knows Why this team is so, so good. Is it Saban? Is it luck? Is it the coaching staff in its entireity? Is it team spirit?
2) South Carolina - Because Only God Knows Why this team was so awful in the first half on Saturday against Kentucky, and so great in the second.
3) Georgia - Only God Knows if the Dawgs are

Everyone talked before this week started that Week 5 was going to be one of the duller on College Football's calendar - and maybe in college football's history (ESPN love to do overdo it, don't they?). Many felt that College Gameday SHOULD have gone down South to Texas at Oklahoma State or Baylor at West Virginia, but instead went to Ohio State at Michigan State. Or to Sanford Stadium for the Tennesee - Georgia game.
But they whiffed. Instead they chose an out-an-out war between OSU and MSU, worthy of the 'old days' of college football where we loved brawn and battle, while all the three other

Now that Arkansas has dived so downwards, there is no argument about what is the biggest game in the SEC this week: Tennessee's trip to Georgia.
The last time people were this psyched up for a Tennessee game was a couple of weeks ago. The fans were wearing orange. They weren't too happy about the Florida result (but then again, they haven't been happy about that for years!!). But Mark Richt's appealing to Sanford to 'be loud' and wear red. Without being rude, Mark, but isn't that what Georgia fans tend to wear for games anyway? Our sympathies of the week go to the Georgia student who bought

For the sporting man like us, there's always someone you love and someone you hate. For the SEC fan, the someone we love is our SEC team and the one we hate is their biggest rival. See Auburn and Alabama for example.
Now, the madness that is the conference realignment has meant that one of college football's best rivalry games - Notre Dame and Michigan - dies after 2014, going the way of West Virginia and Pittsburgh, and the One We Pray Will Get Resurrected, The Texas A&M- Texas game. Yes, we know that A&M are in the SEC now, but if Georgia can manage to play Georgia Tech, Florida can

We admit it: We at the SEC Football Blog should have done more with our SEC Power Rankings (ie start in the first week), but there's been very little on offer until now, and now we know a bit, we think we can provide some analysis to go with our picks.
The soundtrack for today's picks is Brad Paisley's 'Old Alabama', because right now, Nick Saban's the new Bear Bryant.
1. Alabama (4-0): The Crimson Tide have rolled everyone they have played against. No team has looked this complete this early. Sure, there are big tests to come (read: LSU on the road on Nov. 3rd), but Nick Saban is the best

Last Saturday saw College Gameday once again decide to visit SEC Country, where the gang hit up Knoxville, TN for the Tennessee-Florida Game. Tons more exicitement than there had been in years for fans of Big Orange....same old result against those Gators.
Anyway, this week, Gameday's off to travel to the University of Florida's little brother in Tallahassee, where the mighty 'Noles will stick their flaming spear in the University of South Carolina's little brother and make them enjoy it. Anyway, this one should be exciting.
While in the SEC, we've got the 'Tiger War' between LSU and Auburn

What a Week 3 it was. While Tennessee fans once again spat bullets about losing to Florida at home, they managed to drown their beers and sip some champagne as Lane Kiffin and No.2 USC lost at Pac-12 rival Stanford, we once again had evidence that there's only one team out there in College Football at the moment: Alabama. The SEC has a lot to catch up.
Anyway, here's the top 10 things about our SEC teams this week:
1) Tennessee lost the game against Florida because it had no running game and its wide receivers couldn't make easy catches. And when we're talking easy, we're talking ones like

Sorry we haven't been so quick this week about getting copy in, but we've been a bit busy.
Anyhoo, since you were away ESPN Gameday made it 3 out of 3 for College Gamedays involving SEC Schools - shall we simply call them SECSPN? It would be easier!
This one's coming from Neyland where Florida visit a revitalized Tennessee program. Kick-off 6pm. We can't wait - although we can't work out who we want to win/lose more...
With that, here's your preview...
GAME OF THE WEEK
Florida at Tennessee
Gameday is in Knoxville this weekend for the battle of the unbeatens, featuring a Florida
