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 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.

It’s been a long time….

Hey all, It’s been way too long. I haven’t written because college football has been way, way too frustrating at the moment. The NIL disease that rampaged through the college basketball arena has hit college football even worse. I don’t know who’s going to play for whom after one year, because loyalty isn’t earned, it’s by checkbook. I know where this is going. It won’t just be the guys fuming at the WR who they gave $50,000 to in a brown bag in the local Buc-ees, it’ll be thousands of people fuming at the WR who cost the group $3 million to go from Miami to Texas. I know where this is going, because the transfer portal has already given

AP Poll, ESPN Polls are out: Where SEC teams stand

First of all, the SEC could get four in the Play-Off (Georgia, Texas, Tennessee and one of Alabama, Ole Miss and South Carolina), but it’s unlikely. But the SEC Championship is set: Georgia v Texas in Atlanta. The AP Poll has made everything really interesting for SEC teams. We’ll keep you updated with the Play-Off Committee’s thoughts on Tuesday. Oh, and we think the SEC Championship Game is a waste of time. All the game is going to give us is injuries.  And both sets of fans — while there is certainly going to be a massive boost to their egos by winning the conference — would rather have a week (or two) off before the play-offs.  TEAMS DEFINITELY IN

Thanks to craziness, Georgia’s back in Atlanta

Thanks to untold madness happening around them, the Georgia Bulldogs are back in the SEC Championship Game. They will face off against the winner of Texas and Texas A&M, who play on Thanksgiving Saturday. Texas A&M – despite losing to Auburn – will get in because they win the head-to-head against Texas, while Texas would go to Atlanta to face a rematch with the Bulldogs if they beat Texas A&M – therefore winning out. It’s gonna be one hell of a Saturday. Right now, trying to rank everyone is stupid, bearing in mind how much Ole Miss kicked itself in the nuts against Florida, how Texas A&M lost in four overtimes to a dreadful Auburn (thank God for the 2-pt

SEC Preview: This SEC week is going to be a strugglebus….

First of all, there are five SEC teams getting in the College Football Play-Off as things stand. That’s Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia and Tennessee. Texas A&M and possibly South Carolina are on the outside looking in. Of course Greg Sankey more in, but so does every conference. The street-fight is going to get boring, and we’ll going to give you the lowdown on tie-breakers next week. The second thing: This SEC week is a struggle to preview, because most of the games aren’t great – one of this blog’s endless bug-bears is that any of these games actually exist at this time of year. SO, GAMES WE ARE INTERESTED IN:  No.5 Indiana at No.2 Ohio State (-12.5): We’d love to
