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

Texas A&M's 2014 was an interesting one. After slaughtering South Carolina on the road, their QB Kenny Hill trademarked his nickname to "Kenny Trill", and subsequently sucked. So much so he had to be replaced by Kyle Allen. The Aggies could have easily gone 7-6 instead of 8-5 --- with a two SEC wins -- if Arkansas hadn't choked at JerryWorld. This was a pretty ugly season, so head coach Kevin Sumlin (possibly to deflect anger from pissed-off Aggies fans) had to make some changes....
OFF-SEASON
Mark Snyder, as we'd be saying for a good couple of seasons, finally got the boot. Texas A&M

The NFL Draft is coming, and with it, more SEC glory.
We may not have Jameis Winston or Marcus Mariota or even Leonard Williams to boast about, but we do have Dante Fowler Jr (Florida), Amari Cooper (Alabama), Todd Gurley (Georgia) and Shane Ray (Missouri).
WHAT HAPPENED LAST YEAR?
Yes, we get that our No.1 Draft pick from last year - South Carolina monster Jadeveon Clowney hasn't panned out as we had hoped for - but that was a mixture of Houston's turf and a hell of a lot of bad luck. Texas A&M's Heisman-winning quarterback Johnny Manziel spent more time in rehab than he did on the

Happy Thanksgiving!
As it's a time of gratitude, we'd like to point out a few things that our 14 teams' fans are grateful for.
And before that, we'd like to point out as a unit that we're grateful that ESPN has given us more money than GOD to rebuild our stadiums and our weight rooms and make us gods of recruiting. We are grateful for SEC Commissioner Mike Slive, and we're grateful - most of all - for SEC fans, who rock our stadiums, especially when it's a SEC vs SEC match-up. We're grateful for Hate Weeks, great tailgating on lawns, groves and rivers, and beautiful co-eds and cheerleaders.

It's that time of the year when people talk. They talk about recruits. They talk about titles. And they talk about whether head coaches are going to get booted at the end of the season. Did Will Muschamp save his job by beating Georgia decisively at the Cocktail Party? Did Georgia's Mark Richt endanger by losing the same game? Has Texas A&M's run of form endangered Kevin Sumlin's?
Anyway, here you go with our SEC Head Coaches On The Hot Seat. Note that the lower you get, it slowly becomes very unlikely indeed.
1) Will Muschamp (Florida)
-- Despite beating Georgia so decisively, Will

We'd like to make it clear that there are some players that we've ALREADY seen (like Todd Gurley at Georgia), but we still can't wait to see them. This is a little different from "Top 10 SEC Freshmen" or "Top SEC Returning Players" because the freshmen are unproven. So we're sticking them all into one bag and throwing them all together.
Extra points if you can guess all 15 players that they might be 'The new'? Some we even had to look up?
So here's your freshmen and returners that we can't wait to see...
1) Leonard Fournette (RB, LSU): The new Dalton?
2) Maty Mauk (QB, Missouri): The

The last two years in Texas A&M history haven't been the most successful, but hell, they've been the most fun. That's because Johnny Manziel was there, tearing up the SEC, stealing the headlines, winning a Heisman, and giving heart attacks to every head coach and defensive co-ordinator he faced. He made head coach Kevin Sumlin into a God and himself into a NFL first-rounder. Well, he's gone now, and we see what A&M's going to do in 2014 without him.
LAST SEASON
While the Johnny Football offense continued to be fun (5th in the country in scoring) and tight, the defense really wasn't.

Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin was at SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL. on Tuesday, and here were some of the quotes from the man who will now always been known as 'Johnny Manziel's head coach'.
Anyway, here we go( special thanks to GigEm247):
On choosing the starting quarterback for the South Carolina game: "Depends on the guy...have a feel for what the guy can handle & don't have a feel until we get in that environment. Whoever the (A&M) quarterback is (at S. Carolina), I'll probably be his only friend at that point (in terms of hostile environs). I understand there's not
