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 Read more [...]

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 Read more [...]

If someone told you at the start of the year that the Ole Miss versus Auburn game would be the biggest game of the football season to date, they'd send you back to the crackhouse with Toronto Mayor Rob Ford. But it's true: War Eagle's visit to The Grove will represent the clash of two of the four teams in the College Football Play-Off Committee (Auburn was voted No.3 and Ole Miss No.4), with the loser seemingly going to get booted out of contention. College Gameday, after visiting SEC schools - including two Missisippi schools- three times in four weeks - has decided to go up to Morgantown for Read more [...]

Star Georgia running back Todd Gurley has been suspended an extra two games by the NCAA - meaning that he'll be back for the Auburn game at Sanford Stadium on November 15th. Georgia already suspended Gurley for two games - the road wins against Arkansas and Missouri - after finding out he had taken money for signing autographs. It was thought to be around the $400 mark, but the further investigation found that it was far more than that. The NCAA said that Gurley was suspended for "accepting more than $3,000 in cash from multiple individuals for autographed memorabilia and other items over Read more [...]

Every Georgia fan on Twitter seemed to erupt in celebration with the news that Georgia had applied (well, at least they had at the time of writing since it was 4 hours ago) to the NCAA to get Todd Gurley out of playing purgatory and restated to the team. According to a release from Georgia, the University said that it "plans to file the necessary paperwork with the NCAA later today." Seth Emerson, a writer from the Macon Telegraph and Columbus Ledger-Enquirer wrote that the "The NCAA and UGA have been working together on Gurley's situation, so UGA's request seems almost assured of being approved." There Read more [...]

Both Alabama and Georgia made statements on Saturday. Alabama by shutting down Texas A&M's offense, Georgia by going to Arkansas and picking up the Win That No-One-But-Vegas-Who-Had-Them-Favored expected, striking a monster blow for SEC East. The dumpster fire in Florida continued as they lost 42-12 to Missouri at home on Homecoming Night, while Ole Miss shut down Tennessee at home. Anyway, here are your SEC rankings: 1) MISSISSIPPI STATE It's rare for us to keep a team at No.1 despite only playing Bye Week, but there we go. We saw Ole Miss' performance, and while we love their defense, Read more [...]

On a weekend that the No.2 team in the nation go and play the No. 3 team, and the team which beat Alabama goes down to a cauldron of noise to play in butt-hurt Texas, it's funny how one incident can steal a spotlight for another team completely. And that incident and spotlight was stolen by Georgia, which has suspended their Heisman Trophy candidate/frontrunner indefinitely because he was photographed signing autographs (apparently he accepted $400 to do it in the spring). It's strange, because there's also spotlight on Florida, which suspended QB Treon Harris while it investigates an accusation Read more [...]

The only word we had to say for this news when we saw it was: "Wow". Today Georgia suspended its best player and Heisman hopeful running back Todd Gurley indefinitely for an "alleged violation of NCAA rules". According to Andy Staples at Sports Illustrated - who cites Georgia's compliance department,  "Gurley was paid $400 to sign 80 items in Athens last spring", and there is photo evidence of Gurley doing the deed. "I'm obviously very disappointed," said UGA head football coach Mark Richt. "The important thing for our team is to turn all our attention toward preparation for Missouri." Allegedly Read more [...]

Wow. What a week for Ole Miss and Mississippi State. Ole Miss shows up at The Grove with the College Gameday crew wearing bow ties and looking pretty great, and Katy Perry makes an ass of herself on camera, and Ole Miss goes on to beat Alabama. Before that Mississippi State had beaten the living daylights out of Texas A&M, and looked worth the victory. Auburn beats the corndog out of LSU, while Florida and Tennessee plays the worst game in the History of Man. It ends 10-9 to Florida. Georgia throttles Vanderbilt, as predicted. Oh, and Kentucky scores a massive upset, beating South Carolina. Read more [...]

It's going to be a monster weekend in the SEC this weekend. And all of the games are going to be in the West, which is promising to get wilder as we go on with this 2014 journey. The West is so strong right now (Arkansas might go winless in the West, and STILL be one of college football's strongest teams) - that it's been spoken of that the team might have TWO teams in the play-off. Week 6 - with the match-ups on offer - are going to go a long way to decide this. Alabama go to Ole Miss, which brings in the attractions of College Gameday and the promise of the 'Biggest Game Ever Witnessed Read more [...]
