Week 5 of the season came and went with these feelings about the SEC: The Swamp was titinus-causingly loud. And Florida is good. Or Ole Miss was overrated. Alabama playing at their best will be unbeatable. Or Georgia was overrated. Auburn fans toilet-papered Toomer's Corner out of relief. Les Miles has got to get his team's head together against lower opponents. Maty Mauk may have started his last game for Missouri. South Carolina is awful. Kentucky is overrated. Texas A&M is good. Mississippi State's run game is bad. Kyle Field is loud.Vanderbilt scored a nice upset win. Over MTSU. The Read more [...]

After a weekly state that saw Tennessee and Arkansas choke away leads, Ole Miss and LSU cough a lot against Vanderbilt and Syracuse respectively, and Auburn not manage to score a touchdown against Mississippi State, this week's back with a vengeance with a monster clash between National Championship Contenders Georgia and Alabama in Athens. So without further ado, here's ranking your SEC games for Week 5... No.13 Alabama at No.8 Georgia Alabama's record against Georgia is a good one: 37-25-4, with the Crimson Tide winning the last two, which included an incredible SEC Championship Game Read more [...]

  Is that Derrick Henry? Is that Nick Saban? Is that Lane Kiffin with Nick Saban's daughter? Is that Leonard Fournette, brushing off all the reporters as he goes? Is that Les Miles, who's stopped to say something that no-one understands? Yes folks, it's your quarterly SEC Football Blog Awards, given out to the players, teams and coaches who have made a difference - good or bad - in the first quarter of the season. And afterwards, we can all go to Chilli's with players from the University of Georgia and threaten people. (DRUMROLL PLEASE) THE GOOD AWARDS BEST PLAYER Leonard Read more [...]

Ole Miss was expected to smash Vanderbilt at home and didn't, instead grinding out an 11-point win over the Commodores and never totally looking in control. Yes, we know that they were coming off a monster win at Alabama, but that's hardly College Football Play-Off form. Ohio State, by the way, has been 'grinding' since it won at Virginia Tech - although it found some signs of life on Saturday. The fact is this: Ole Miss is still the toast of the SEC West, but we don't have a clue how good the SEC West actually is. Last year, it was so much easier.... Elsewhere, Arkansas choked against Texas Read more [...]

We've got a couple of things to say about Week 4. Leonard Fournette, Leonard Fournette, Leonard Fournette. Gus Malzahn should have said in the press conference after Auburn was trainwrecked by the player: "He just ran us over". But he didn't. Fournette was so good, it became must-see TV. Unbelievable night in Bama. I am still quivering from thinking about that Ole Miss vs Alabama game in Tuscaloosa. This game was like being on the relationship rollercoaster, with more ins and outs than an episode of "Game Of Thrones" (speaking of acting: John Hamm, congrats on the Emmy for "Mad Men"). Georgia Read more [...]

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 Read more [...]

Ole Miss' 2014 was a weird one. The Rebs went to the heights of No.3 in the nation after winning their first seven games in a row, including an incredible field-invading, Katy Perry-attending, classic against Alabama. They looked solid. Bo Wallace looked ready to play. Everything was going their way. And then they walked into Tiger Stadium, LSU. There nothing went their way. They lost 10-7 that was classically bad, and then lost a home heartbreaker against Auburn 35-31, in which star WR Laquon Treadwell broke his leg and had us all reaching for the sick bucket. A 30-0 loss to Arkansas and a bowl Read more [...]

Ole Miss has gained the commitment of three-star running back D’Vaughn Pennamon.

Pennamon, from Manvel High School in Manvel, TX, is 5 ft 11 and 199lbs. He also plays wide receiver.

The player was also heavily recruited by Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Tennessee, but also had offers from Georgia, Missouri, and Florida.

 

Ole Miss' Hugh Freeze has got some good food recommendations, and some opinions about the confederate flag and suspended star Laremy Tunsil. Here are his best SEC Media Day Quotes ON LAREMY TUNSIL "There's very little to report. We obviously will cooperate fully with, whether it's the NCAA process or the law enforcement process, we will cooperate fully with that. I'm very confident, like I said, in the way we do things and what we can control. I'm very confident in the person that Laremy Tunsil is too, and we look forward to that coming to a conclusion at whatever time is appropriate." ON Read more [...]

The SEC Media Days (July 13-16) don't generally have a whole lot, yet they are still entertaining. Maybe it's because Steve Spurrier is always guaranteed the good one-liner, maybe it's because Nick Saban's always whining about something that's wrong with college football,  or maybe it's because we're all waiting for Les Miles to kiss one of his players on the mouth. Here's what we think each school's going to get asked about.....and what they SHOULD get asked about.... ALABAMA What they will ask Nick Saban: The evil schedule (The quotes that will get spouted will be: "We play in the Read more [...]
