WEEK 6 PREVIEW: Will Texas and Florida take us back to the Stone Age?

Before I start, here’s a link from a UK Premier League about something that a lot of men suffer from: Depression. “We’re not talking Georgia beat Alabama and now I’m depressed” depression, we’re talking: “I am with 100,000 people and I feel totally alone” depression. And if we see someone like that at our games, we need to talk to them before its too late. I wish the NCAA would do something along the lines of this, but they won’t, because money. Anyway, here’s something to lighten the mood: My Week 6 picks for the SEC. This week, there aren’t a lot of teams on the schedule, which means that you’ll be getting something the size of Revelation for each game

Week 2 SEC Impressed/Depressed List: Florida ain’t good

    So my buddy Davis was so excited about Florida this year. Still high from the National Championship in basketball, he’s been full of the joys of Spring. He talked about the speed. The fight. He told me: “This is a year where things are going to be better. We’ve got a lot of speed, we’ll be fine”. Midway through the USF game, he texted me: “I thought it would take more than 1.5 weeks to turn off the TV during a Florida game”. While it’s probably early to throw out the death knell for Billy Napier’s Florida career, this result wasn’t good. SO HERE’S YOUR IMPRESSED LIST  Mississippi State (2-0): We had the Mighty Cowbellers winning this game,

SEC Preview: Bulldogs roll into Ole Miss, and course, Bama-LSU

Georgia’s off to its second rough road game in three games, this time rolling into Oxford, where expectancy’s back to being sky-high after the Rebs smashed Arkansas on the road. Had they lost that, Lane Kiffin might be facing the hurricane of rage — as well as an almost-certain miss from a play-off spot. It’s gonna be fun in Oxford. It’s also Bama-LSU weekend, which is going to get everyone very excited. It’s also going to be a lot of fun because of the level of jeopardy on this, with the loser likely not to make the play-off. The atmosphere – even without Nick Saban there as a head coach – is likely to be off the hook (Going to

SEC Preview: The most middling schedule of the year

While the B1G has a monstrous game (Penn State v Ohio State), two unbeatens battle in the ACC (Pitt v SMU) and Colorado going in as flavor-of-the-month (again) at what will be a raucous Texas Texas, the SEC has Georgia v Florida, which is going to be a stretch if you consider both teams – and a lot of very middling games. Therefore this preview is going to be pretty darned quick. Vanderbilt at Auburn (-7.5): The Commodores could experience a slide backwards after their incredible battles against Texas and Alabama – simply because they are on the road. Even if Auburn’s terrible, Jordan-Hare’s a tough place to play. PREDICTION: Jarquez Hunter gets the job done for the Barners. Auburn

WEEK 6: SEC RANKINGS ARE ALL ****ED UP

I joked on Saturday night that my SEC rankings were this: 1-15: F**k knows 16: Mississippi State. And that’s probably right. Texas is the No.1 team in the nation and – by virtue of not playing while the unbridled carnage was happening around – would go as No.1 in my view. But are they really better than Georgia? Does Vanderbilt’s win over Alabama automatically mean that they are better than Alabama? Or Arkansas’ win over Tennessee mean that Sam Pittman’s team is better than the Vols? If you believe those guys at the AP Poll – who have Texas first, Georgia fifth (behind Ohio State, Oregon and Penn State), Miami sixth and Alabama seventh. Tennessee is 8th, Ole Miss 9th, LSU 13th,
