Alabama is screwing its season ticket holders.
The university isn't screwing them out of victories - they have plenty. It isn't screwing them out of SEC Championships - they have plenty. It isn't screwing them out of great recruits - they have plenty. It isn't screwing them out of National Championships - they have a plenty (400 at the last count).
The University of Alabama is screwing its season ticket holders out of good games.
Every year since 2012, Alabama has played the opening game of the season at neutral site venue. In 2012, it was at the spaceship called JerryWorld, in the middle

With Tennessee playing Oklahoma, LSU visited Clangaville (Mississippi State), South Carolina playing Kentucky and Georgia playing Vanderbilt (as the CBS games - probably so CBS can say they've shown Vanderbilt this season), it's going to be an interesting-but-not-that-interesting Week 2 of the 2015 College Football Season.
So here's how we rank 'em....
LSU at Mississippi State
Starkville's going to be ROCKING on Saturday. The cowbells will be clanging, the screaming will be loud, and LSU will take a deep breath. The Tigers haven't played 2015, thanks to a lightning storm/downpour ensuring

Here are our SEC Football Blog Power Rankings after Week 1 of the season.
Alabama -- They are going to be OK with Derrick Henry running behind that offensive line.
Texas A&M -- Playing to a home crowd at Kyle Field Houston certainly helped. A lot. But this defense, led by Myles Garrett, was looking changed, talented and great.
Georgia -- If they stay healthy, Nick Chubb, Keith Marshall and Sony Michel will be a three-headed running back monster for SEC defenses to stop.
Auburn -- Fell to pieces at the end of the Louisville game. Was it tiredness or not giving a crap? Anyway, the

Saturday's SEC games saw victories for all SEC schools playing - including resounding ones for Texas A&M, Auburn and Alabama in the three biggest games out there.
So here are our big thoughts about the SEC's Saturday.
1. Texas A&M's performance impresses
Great performance by the Aggies, who crushed Arizona State 38-17 and looked comfortable. A lot of credit has to go that the game wasn't played in an actual 'neutral' venue (Houston's in Texas, people), so ASU struggled with crowd noise...but they also struggled with Myles Garrett, who was sensational. On the other side of the ball,

Right, so it's Christmas Day on Thursday, with Steve Spurrier dressed up in a garnet and black Santa costume, ready to deliver us all presents. It's going to be a phenomenal day out, and we can't wait. The biggest pity? South Carolina - and North Carolina - screwed over their season ticket holders by having the game in Charlotte. We'll be stunned if the stadium's sold out.
Anyway, here's our previews, in terms of importance. HINT: South Carolina vs North Carolina isn't No.1 on the list.
1) AUBURN VS LOUISVILLE
Trying to work out what the best game of the day was between this one and Texas

After starting the season 5-0, a lot of was expected of Auburn when they went to Mississippi State. After losing 38-23, it was obvious that something was missing from Gus Malzahn's team....a good defense. And for the rest of the season, the defense rotted, basically mailing it in against Georgia and Alabama. Of course, Ohio State will thank Auburn for exposing the Crimson Tide's weak secondary (they did the same thing a few weeks later), but this team was a real disappointment, culminating in a 34-31 loss to coach-less Wisconsin.
THE OFF-SEASON
Auburn made the biggest splash of the off-season

Last season was a stunning one for Mississippi State. They went to No.1 in the polls. They beat LSU on the road for the first time in their history. They had their second 10-win season in their history. Their QB, Dak Prescott, was a Heisman contender. OK, so underestimating the Bulldogs was our mistake, Starkville.
OFF-SEASON
Dak Prescott had an awful Spring Break when he was blindsided by some douchebag in Panama Beach. He didn't press assault charges, which is a shame. He should have done.
Coaching-wise, Dan Mullen lost defensive co-ordinator Geoff Collins to Florida, and replied by

Georgia has named Greyson Lambert as its starting quarterback for the season opener against Louisiana-Monroe.
Lambert, a graduate transfer from Virginia, threw for 1,632 yards for the Cavaliers, including 10 TDs and 11 INTs. He also completed 154 passes in 261 attempts.
Lambert beat out Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta.
Georgia coach Mark Richt said: "“There may be other or others who get in the game. But right now the thing that I know that he’ll start the game. Very, very close competition. Still being contested in my mind. But at this point we felt it would be wise to name a starter

You know you've built a dynasty when every year, people are talking about the Alabama Crimson Tide and mentioning the words "National Title". In fact, it's a disappointment when they DON'T get to the final game. And when they were outplayed by Ohio State in the College Football Play-Off semi-final and didn't get there, it was a disappointment, despite winning the SEC Title.
LAST SEASON
As mentioned, Alabama lost the College Football Play-Off game to 'The' Ohio State University. They didn't just lose, they were wildly outschemed and outplayed, with the secondary bullied throughout

People laugh at Clemson for managing to choke the big games away, but let's be honest, Georgia's as bad as Clemson is. They lost to South Carolina and Florida despite being overwhelming favourites, and didn't get to the SEC Championship Game, thanks to Missouri - a team they beat - managing to only lose to....(you guessed in) Georgia.
Despite losing Todd Gurley to the NFL, hopes are high, thanks to Nick Chubb. But there are a lot of things for Mark Richt to do before that....
LAST SEASON
Georgia beat Clemson handsomely at the start of the season, and
