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").

If you are an Auburn and Arkansas fan, you had an intensely forgettable Saturday. Of course, Auburn survived mighty Jacksonville State -- in overtime -- with the rest of the SEC cheering on the Tigers to fall, while Arkansas comedically fell at 'home' to Toledo (2014 record: 9-4, 7-1 MAC). Elsewhere, Missouri and Florida struggled with Arkansas State and East Carolina respectively, Tennessee gave up a 17-0 lead to Oklahoma in the best atmosphere of the day in Neyland, and Les Miles was Les Miles (and LSU won despite it). Otherwise, Alabama, Georgia and Texas A&M pretty much cruised.
Anyway,

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

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

Georgia has named Greyson Lambert as its starting quarterback for the season opener against Louisiana-Monroe.
Lambert, a graduate transfer from Virginia, threw for 1,632 yards for the Cavaliers, including 10 TDs and 11 INTs. He also completed 154 passes in 261 attempts.
Lambert beat out Brice Ramsey and Faton Bauta.
Georgia coach Mark Richt said: "“There may be other or others who get in the game. But right now the thing that I know that he’ll start the game. Very, very close competition. Still being contested in my mind. But at this point we felt it would be wise to name a starter

People laugh at Clemson for managing to choke the big games away, but let's be honest, Georgia's as bad as Clemson is. They lost to South Carolina and Florida despite being overwhelming favourites, and didn't get to the SEC Championship Game, thanks to Missouri - a team they beat - managing to only lose to....(you guessed in) Georgia.
Despite losing Todd Gurley to the NFL, hopes are high, thanks to Nick Chubb. But there are a lot of things for Mark Richt to do before that....
LAST SEASON
Georgia beat Clemson handsomely at the start of the season, and

Georgia wide receiver Justin Scott-Wesley has gone down in practice with what appears to be a knee injury.
According to Macon.com, Scott-Wesley - who had knee surgery in the off-season - injured his right knee while appearing to run a normal route in practice.
The video can be seen here.
We wouldn't be surprised if this latest injury will see Scott-Wesley retire from football. There's only so much punishment a knee can take, after all.
Scott-Wesley only had 52 yards receiving and a TD last year, previously injured his knee in 2013. He was also suspended for a game by Georgia head

Mark Richt, the Georgia coach, spoke at SEC Media Days. While we'd love to try and translate something deep and meaningful into what he said, we're just going to take his quotes out and let you decipher them. But Richt's a pretty blunt person....so...
ON CRITICISM AND LEARNING FROM BOBBY BOWDEN AT FLORIDA STATE
(SARCASTICALLY) "I didn't know I got criticism"
"I think the big thing -- I know when I first started coaching 32 years ago, whenever it was, with Coach Bowden and being in what we call hideaway and him talking about notes. A few things he talked about in the very beginning of those

On Tuesday we told you what we're expecting from SEC West coaches on the schedule. It should be a lot of talk about the schedule, quarterbacking and good running backs. Of course, we'd love them to talk about LSU and Alabama's penchant for getting people arrested, shitty defensive co-ordinators, and their hot wives/daughters/do-nothing husbands-in-law, but it's probably not going to happen.
Anyway, this time it's time for your SEC East coaches.
