SEC Championship Preview (and others): Georgia v Alabama, folks

Before the season, if you said that Georgia and Alabama would be playing this weekend at the SEC Championship Game, you wouldn’t have batted an eyelid. But after the Alabama generally dreadful performances at the start of the season, including one where Crimson Tide had struggled – and I mean struggled – against South Florida, the prevailing thought that they wouldn’t make it was 60-40. Alabama was definitely helped by three factors: LSU couldn’t find a defense, and Auburn couldn’t work out a defense on 4th and 31. Oh, and Lane Kiffin continued his trend of ineptitude against Top 10 opponents. The third was Jalin Milroe, a freshman out of Katy, TX, who ran like Vince Young and had enough

Week 2 Rankings: Ole Miss rules, Georgia needs to play someone

Normally, if a team’s the No.1 team in the nation, then they would usually be No.1 on our SEC rankings.

Tennessee (2-0): Tennessee’s offense sputtered against Austin Peay, but they still ran out in

Week 6 Preview: The big game’s in Death Valley, actually

I got in an argument after I posting a quick 1-14 SEC ranking on my Twitter page in which I ranked Georgia as third, with Tennessee on top and Alabama as second. Anyway, Week 5 is finished now. Sorry to have not done my ratings, but in between looking after a toddler and having one of the worst laptop chargers in Christendom, Week 6 has caught up with me way too quickly. Anyway: Week 6 is going to be fun, isn’t it? CBS thought they had hit the jackpot by scheduling their only night game between Alabama and Texas A&M before the season. And then Texas A&M became really, really poor, and Alabama’s a 24 point favourite, and if Saban’s
