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.

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.

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 […]

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 […]

The SEC was already […]

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.

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.

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?

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 […]

The Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners football teams will have to wait a bit longer to make their Big 12 exit to the SEC.

Because of that, not only does the Georgia football program has the pressure in the conference but also at […]

Jimbo Fisher and Texas A&M football are having a rough year so far. Sitting at 3-4 with two losses to unranked teams ousting them out of the AP Top 25, it’s safe to say that the Aggies are underachieving. It’s made Fisher a popular scapegoat of pundits and critics around the nation, especially given his […]
