Ranking SEC midway through: All change, all the time

This year’s SEC is once again a shitshow. While we know who the worst team is (Kentucky), it’s once again hard to work out the cream of the crop. Texas beat Oklahoma to put itself back into the hunt of a Play-Off spot. Alabama beat Missouri, and Georgia squeaked by Auburn in a game that was more ref-decided than anything else. As The Joker says: “So here we go….” Texas A&M  Alabama  Ole Miss  Missouri  Georgia  Tennessee  LSU  Texas Oklahoma  Vanderbilt  Florida Mississippi State  Arkansas  Auburn South Carolina  Kentucky

WEEK 7: A Red River Runs Through It

Listen from someone who’s been to the Red River Shoot-Out: It’s a great scene, but the rest of it is kinda crappy. First of all, getting anywhere near the stadium sucks, unless you’re incredibly lucky (Dallas’ transport system is fine, but there’s no-one giving directions). Secondly, getting into the stadium via Big Tex is not a fun experience. Shit, entering any part of the stadium a little close to kick-off is not a fun experience. In fact, it’s a crush. Thirdly, when the Texas sun beats on those steel benches – and remember the stadium is round so there’s no breeze that can through it – it’s hot as all hell. But once you forget about that, the pageantry and

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 4: SEC PREDICTIONS

Dear Lord it’s a boring week in the SEC… So here are your very short list of predictions 1. Florida at Miami (-7.5): Florida’s not the train wreck everyone thinks they are, and if they wipe stupid penalties away, this’ll be close(ish). The problem? Wiping out the stupid penalties. Oh, and CJ Lagway has to perform better than the LSU game (not hard, I know). And they have to stop a high-powered Miami team, which has been playing virtually spotless football on both sides of the ball.  PREDICTION: Miami by 10. 2. Auburn at OU (-6.5): Jackson Arnold throws 2 picks on his homecoming, and Mateer keeps up the Heisman conversation. PREDICTION: OU by 7. 3. South Carolina at Mizzou

SEC Week 3: Georgia – Tennessee heads the list

We are getting to that beautiful point when SEC teams all play each other, and we don’t have to watch [add SEC team here] beat the living daylights out of [add poor FCS school here] on ESPN The Ocho. This Saturday, we’ve got a monster with Georgia going to Tennessee – which is also going to be your spot for College Gameday (first time since 2022, I’m told), Texas A&M going to Notre Dame and Wisconsin going to Alabama for a helmet game. Oh, and there’s Ole Miss hosting Arkansas, Vanderbilt visiting South Carolina, and the fun trainwreck of Florida going to LSU. Oh, and there’s a bunch of ‘snore games’ on the sked, which we’re not remotely excited about.

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

On the SEC Coaching Hot Seat: 2025 Version

Every year we’ve put out our hot-seat list for 2025. Usually, there’s Auburn at the top and everywhere else just sitting there. However with NIL, schools would rather pay money on a wide receiver than they would giving a coach paid vay-cay. But with no further ado, here’s our 16 LET’S GET WORRIED.  Sam Pittman (Arkansas): It’s not a matter of ‘if’, it’s a matter of ‘when’. The schedule is year is horrific for him, with games against Notre Dame, Ole Miss, Texas, LSU and Texas A&M. Our prediction is that Eli Drinkwitz will kick him when he’s down on the last day of the season.  Billy Napier (Florida): Hugely under-pressure last year, the Gators played well down the stretch,
