WEEK 5: A Monster week for the SEC

Listen, it’s such a week for college football we don’t know where to start. Before we start the SEC, we think that Oregon will beat Penn State by 7 in the ‘White Out’, which one of my Southern friends referred to as a ‘Klan Rally’ (he has seen excommunicated me because I was too ‘liberal’, but that’s another story). Any, a lot of these ‘monster match-ups’ are in the SEC, so here we go….once in the order of our interest.  No.4 LSU at No.9 Ole Miss (-1.5): Do not try and rush the ball on LSU (10th in the country at rushing yards given up), but it’s OK to throw at them (43 internationally, 9th in the SEC in passing

Week 2 SEC Prediction: It’s Oklahoma – Michigan Day!

A battle between Oklahoma and Michigan is a reason why we love college football. Both are storied programs, with multiple Heismans and massive fanbases. The last they played each other was in 1975, which led to Oklahoma winning a Natty. Norman is going to be rocking. Anyway, here’s our (brief) preview of the game, as well as a bunch of SEC games (in order of interest) – including the first conference game of the year between Ole Miss and Kentucky.  No.15 Michigan and No.18 Oklahoma (-5): We know little about both of these sides, apart from that there are worries about the lines on both sides – especially as Michigan five star frosh offensive lineman Andrew Babalola is done for

A BRIEF Thanksgiving Football Preview

OK, we’re writing this at the opening salvo of The Egg Bowl (still 0-0), and the notion of ‘we need to get this done earlier this week’ got thrown to the layby because of the Thanksgiving break and two toddlers who refused to sleep. Anyway, we’re going high-speed for all the games this week. FRIDAY We’ve covered the Ole Miss v Mississippi State game and why we’re watching it, so there’s little point in a preview. Sorry, Lane.  GEORGIA TECH AT NO.7 GEORGIA (-17.5) Why should you be interested? Georgia’s very much in a play-off hunt. Otherwise, we expect Georgia – if they have a comfortable lead by the fourth quarter – to take their pedal off the medal to

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 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
