Alabama has moved to No.2 in the AP Poll after being Wisconsin 35-17 on Saturday night, moving ahead of TCU who strugged at Minnesota. The Crimson Tide was still miles behind Ohio State, who was an almost-consensus No.1 after its after-halftime dismantling of Virginia Tech. Texas A&M jumped into the AP Poll as the No.16 after it beat Arizona State. After that performance, we can seem them go higher in weeks to come. Auburn is No.6 and Georgia is No.9 as the SEC took home three Top 10 teams. LSU, Ole Miss, Arkansas, Missouri, Tennessee and Mississippi State are all in the Top 25, although Read more [...]

Right, so it's Christmas Day on Thursday, with Steve Spurrier dressed up in a garnet and black Santa costume, ready to deliver us all presents. It's going to be a phenomenal day out, and we can't wait. The biggest pity? South Carolina - and North Carolina - screwed over their season ticket holders by having the game in Charlotte. We'll be stunned if the stadium's sold out. Anyway, here's our previews, in terms of importance. HINT: South Carolina vs North Carolina isn't No.1 on the list. 1) AUBURN VS LOUISVILLE Trying to work out what the best game of the day was between this one and Texas Read more [...]

With Jadeveon Clowney moving off to the NFL, the South Carolina Gamecocks had a poor 2014, finishing 7-5 and 3-5 in the SEC, which including a blow-out losses to Texas A&M and Clemson, and getting outclassed by Kentucky. They beat Georgia in a rainstorm and squeaked by Florida, but overall, this wasn't a great year for the Gamecocks. WE NOW KNOW THE QB Connor Mitch was named the quarterback of the South Carolina Gamecocks on Tuesday, much to the relief of many fans who we guess were beginning to question whether Steve Spurrier had decided to go for golf instead of a big decision. Anyway, Read more [...]

  If it's quarterbacks the SEC lacks, it's running backs we are overflowing with. Leonard Fournette, Derrick Henry, Nick Chubb....the list runs on. It's probably the hardest list we'll have to do all season (that and the "Who's going to win the SEC West" poll). Anyway, here's our Top 10.... 1. Leonard Fournette (LSU) 6-1, 250lbs and very, very fast, Fournette ran for 1,034 yards and 10 TDs, and also had seven receptions for 127 yards. His season was highlighted by his running over a Texas A&M defender, and since then, he's been a Heisman favorite.  Some might think this Read more [...]

Les Miles was awesome when he took the podium at SEC Media Days. Here are some of the best bits. ON .....?  "It appears to me that some of the media have not shaved and have left their car running in the back parking lot, kind of ready to get off to fishing or wherever they're supposed to be off to. Scooter has way too much sun to be inside. I can tell you that, I did not bring tennis shoes. That is a product of a sports information director who knows that I have an attachment to those shoes. I'm wearing regular shoes and regular socks." ON QUARTERBACKS "I think Brandon Harris has Read more [...]

Redshit freshman defensive tackle Travonte Valentine has left LSU after failing academically, reports have said. According to reports, Valentine sacrificed spring practice to focus on academics after redshirting his first year. He still didn't manage it, and now he's transferred to Arizona Community College.

At the time, Miles told the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “We’ve instructed him to go to this school, go to class, take care your business. If he does that and handles behavior then there will be a future for him here.

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 [...]

LSU's dismissal of redshirt freshman defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao on Monday night showed that Les Miles actually has some stones. After his arrest for hitting a woman after she attempted to stop him battering her boyfriend, Miles immediately suspended the player - who had caused him disciplinary issues last year as well - and then dismissed him on Monday night. Of course, there are worries about LSU's depth, according to Bleacher Report. Lealaimatafao would have either seen time on the field or started for the Tigers, and now he's gone, there are holes. But there we go. LSU will Read more [...]
