The College Football Playoff expanded to 12 teams this past season, and the games were overall a success. While the first round games were mostly lopsided, we got a great quarterfinal between Texas and Arizona State and one of the best playoff games ever between Penn State and Notre Dame in the semifinals. The CFP […]

For the second straight year, Alabama’s football season comes to an end at the hands of Michigan. An undermanned Wolverines squad took the ReliaQuest Bowl 19-13, giving fans all the ammunition they needed to blast Kalen DeBoer, Jalen Milroe and the entire SEC. The biggest talking point entering the game was the laundry list of […]

Hello friends, and welcome to a mid-December edition of Bracketology where we’ll kick things off with an ode to the SEC, where it just means more, and where the next NCAA Tournament champion may reside. It’s safe to say that the Southeastern Conference is the premier conference in college basketball this season. Consider: The SEC went […]

Following a back-and-forth SEC Championship between Georgia and Texas, college football fans all over social media went buck wild following the Bulldogs’ walk-off touchdown by Trevor Etienne. GEORGIA BEATS TEXAS IN SEC CHAMPIONSHIP WITH WALKOFF TD 😱 pic.twitter.com/VxpEqVQVsq — Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) December 8, 2024 While some thought that Texas had this game in the […]

Look at the last two decades of college football and you’ll find that, for the most part, it’s a sport that has been dominated by the Southeastern Conference. Consider, since 2005, the SEC has produced more Heisman Trophy winners (8), more 1st overall picks in the NFL Draft (8) and more National Champions (13) than […]

Georgia quarterback Carson Beck has drawn praise from Nick Saban.

Fingernail-biting Alabama football fans will be furious if the Crimson Tide are left out of the CFP bracket. Still, there are plenty of reasons to expect more hardware to be added to the Tuscaloosa trophy case relatively soon. Recruiting five-star quarterback Keelon Russell (Duncanville, TX) away from SMU is just one example of the brand […]

When the Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners announced their decision to depart the Big 12 for the SEC, there was no shortage of skepticism from folks in SEC country that the Longhorns and Sooners would be out of their depth as they stepped into what has traditionally been the most dominant conference in college football. […]

The College Football Playoffs is stirring up controversy with every snap of the ball. Will a garbage-time touchdown by Indiana be enough to convince the committee the Hoosiers deserve to remain in the top 12 bracket? How will Tulane and Boise State’s battles against negative narratives shake out? Even fights on what should happen on […]

It did not take long after Nick Saban retired for Alabama football to fall on hard times. Sure, the Crimson Tide are still ranked in the top ten of almost every poll. Losing to Vanderbilt is almost unforgivable as it had not happened in 40 years (Sept. 28, 1984). Alabama football is losing starter-level talent […]

Oklahoma football fans thought their days of being worried about Big 12 teams like Houston were behind them once they left for the SEC this season. However, Saturday’s game against Houston proved otherwise. The No. 15 Sooners narrowly escaped with a 16-12 win over the Cougars at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium in Norman, Oklahoma. […]

Is it finally time for Ole Miss football to become one of the elite teams in the SEC? The 2024 season has the potential to be the most important in Rebels history. Perhaps never in the history of the storied southeastern program has there been as much promise and hype as there is heading into […]

Second-year Auburn football coach Hugh Freeze made a name for himself after he rattled off a couple of wins over former Alabama coach Nick Saban when he was at Ole Miss. With Saban now retired, Freeze and Auburn are set up to become one of the elite teams in the SEC once again. It usually […]

The SEC gets two new additions this season in former Big 12 stalwarts Texas and Oklahoma football. But really only one of those is getting the attention. Spoiler: it’s not the Sooners. With Texas walking away with their first conference title in 15 years, making the College Football Playoff, the Longhorns have all the popularity. […]

It’s not often in recent history that the Ole Miss football program has received as much adoration as it has entering the 2024 season. However, the Rebels look to be a real threat in the SEC and college football this year. This might be the best overall roster that the Ole Miss football program has […]

There may be some of you asking yourselves just how it is that Tennessee football can walk away with the SEC title this season. Well, it won’t be easy, but stranger things have certainly happened. For instance, no one thought that Brian Kelly would be able to take LSU to the SEC Championship Game in […]

Coming in as the No. 13 ranked team in the AP preseason Top 25 poll is LSU football. This will be Brian Kelly’s third season as the Tigers’ head coach, and as usual, the expectations in Baton Rouge haven’t subsided. LSU, like the rest of the now 16 SEC members, has to deal with a […]

One of the most talked-about teams coming into the 2024 college football season is the Texas Longhorns. This year’s Texas football team, under fourth-year head coach Steve Sarkisian, has a roster that makes for one of the smoothest transitions for a school entering a new conference. The Longhorns, of course, are joining arguably the toughest […]

In the last 20 years, Alabama football has ruled college football, starting with their own conference. They’ve won nine out of the last 20 SEC titles, and four out of the last six, including last year’s upset over Georgia that kept the Bulldogs from a chance of three-peating for the national title. With Kirby Smart […]

Now I will admit that I do belong to a camp that wonders each year what the practical purpose of a preseason poll is, but I, just like every other college football fan who has been counting down the Saturday’s since March, was elated to see the release of the preseason AP Top 25 Poll […]

For Alabama football fans, all they’ve known for 17 years was leadership under Nick Saban. But that will be gone in 2024. A new era of Crimson Tide football will be underway as former Washington head coach Kalen DeBoer takes the reins. DeBoer comes to Tuscaloosa this upcoming season with just his second head coaching […]

Finishing 9-4 isn’t exactly what Tennessee football had in mind last season. After making a resurgence back in the ranks of the elite of college football in 2022, the Vols came back down to earth a little bit last year. But this year’s roster looks promising for another comeback. In all, Tennessee football brings back […]

The SEC Media Days began on Monday in Dallas, Texas, with some new faces on hand. Both Texas and Oklahoma are new additions to the conference in 2024 amid a ton of shuffling across the country. The SEC now has 16 teams in the conference while the Big Ten has 18 with the additions of […]

Now that the calendar has flipped to July, the SEC can officially welcome the new neighbors into the neighborhood. Texas and Oklahoma, two of the main instigators of this recent conference realignment, can now proudly don the SEC logo across any and all platforms. That now gives the SEC 16 teams. The SEC was already […]

The Kentucky basketball team has been a nightmare for SEC opposition during the John Calipari era but Calipari has had more than his fair share of struggles. The Wildcats have lost countless players early to the NBA Draft, sometimes much earlier than expected. Recently, Calipari joined former UK Wildcats star John Wall and shared his […]

Texas football commit Emaree Winston is revealing more information about what drew him to the Longhorns program. Winston chose Texas in part because of the school’s move to the SEC, per Rivals. The young man is a tight end who is a member of the 2025 class. “I always told my mom I wanted to […]

It won’t be long until we find out what the last four-team field for the College Football Playoff will look like before the field expands to twelve teams next year, and all that stands in the way of that announcement are 48 hours and five Conference Championship Games, all which potentially have major CFP implications. […]

Lost in the shuffle of all the drama with the Michigan football program, the Deion Sanders craze in Colorado, the conflicting discourse surrounding presumed #1 pick in the NFL Draft Caleb Williams, the last stand of the Pac-12, and a whole bunch of other stories that have come out of this unpredictable college football season, […]

The LSU football team took a brutal defeat to the Alabama Crimson Tide in a rival SEC matchup. The Tigers lost 42-28, but the team’s win column is not the only thing that took a hit. Jayden Daniels took a heavy shot from Crimson Tide linebacker Dallas Turner that put the Tigers QB in concussion […]

Conference realignment in the NCAA is set to kick off starting in the 2024 season. The Big Ten conference and Big 12 are the biggest recipients of this change. They all get to expand their borders. A notable absence from all of this talk has been Greg Sankey’s SEC. The world of college sports may […]

Could it be that conference realignment, after what seemed like an endless cycle of movement, is finally coming to a halt? Everyone from school presidents to athletic directors to college football fans, in general, is looking for a bit of a breather after what has been a wild month of conference shakeups. While ACC members […]

The landscape of college football continues to change so much now that most are having trouble keeping up with it, or rather they’re just fed up with the money-hungry universities trying to keep with each other. The recent conference realignment between the Pac-12 and the Big Ten, along with other shifts over the last couple […]

The current volatile state of the college football landscape is leaving many perplexed. With the Pac-12 seemingly on the verge of getting dissolved, especially following the decisions of the Oregon Ducks and the Washington Huskies to switch allegiance to the Big Ten in 2024, even the talks for a potential review of the College Football […]

With the college football landscape undergoing significant upheaval in just the past couple of weeks with the Big Ten and Big 12, is there a natural inclination to find someone to hold responsible, right? The onus has to be put on someone, with the easiest targets likely being the University of Oklahoma and the University […]

While Alabama football head coach Nick Saban is attempting to lead his program back to the College Football Playoff after missing out on a championship opportunity last year, he will soon have more competition towards that goal when Texas and Oklahoma join the SEC in 2024. Naturally, it was a topic of discussion at SEC […]

The Southeastern Conference (SEC) has become a powerhouse in both college football and college basketball. The LSU Tigers baseball team also won in college baseball and the women’s team won with Angel Reese becoming a sensation. As a result, Commissioner Greg Sankey has been rewarded with a contract extension that will run through 2028, as […]

Conference realignment has become arguably the biggest topic in college sports over the last two years. Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC, USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten and more moves have ushered in a new era of realignment, creating a radically changing landscape in college sports. Clemson football is one program in particular […]

The Texas football program, which will be moving from the Big 12 Conference to the SEC in 2024, has a lot to be excited about for the future. But they also have a lot to be excited about right now. And if Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian’s recent comments are any indication, the team is embodying […]
