The SEC West is the toughest division in football, and Bret Bielema left the Big Ten and a 68-24 career record at Wisconsin to take over an Arkansas Razorbacks team that was in rebuilding mode. In year one, Bielema and the Hogs went just 3-9. The Auburn Tigers proved last season that it is possible to […]

The Clemson-Georgia rivalry should be bigger than it is and should mean more than it does. From 1977 to 1987, no rivalry in the country was more closely contested (each team went 5-5-1 against the other, and nine of eleven meetings were settled by seven or fewer points) or nationally significant (from 1980 to 1982, […]

The last time the Boise State Broncos met an SEC team, they beat the Georgia Bulldogs in 2011 in the Georgia Dome by two touchdowns. A lot has changed since then and the Broncos are coming off of a disappointing 8-5 season. What is the biggest difference between the 2011 Broncos team and today’s team? […]

Georgia wide receiver Chris Conley led the Bulldogs last season with 45 receptions for 651 yards but his interests go far beyond the football field. Earlier this year he released a Star Wars fan film titled “Retribution” and it is approaching 400,000 views on Youtube. ESPN’s Ivan Maisel took a look at Conley’s “direction in […]

Earlier this summer I posed the question on whether Twitter was good for college football. One great thing about Twitter is the back and forth interaction on a game day. Last week Athlon Sports posted 100 “Twitter accounts every college football fan should follow”. College football-ify your Twitter for 2014 with our top 100+ accounts: […]

The Missouri Tigers would have been the talk of the SEC and possibly the nation last season if not for the miraculous turnaround of the Auburn Tigers. Missouri went from fifth place in the SEC East in its debut season, and just two conference wins, to winning the East and going 12-2. Was 2013 the […]

Will Muschamp’s tenure at the University of Florida has been very up and down, and that can be tied directly to his ability, or inability, to make the right hire at offensive coordinator. Muschamp and athletic director Jeremy Foley backed up a Brinks truck. They made Charlie Weis the first offensive coordinator hire of the […]

The SEC will see a lot of new faces under center this season, as the conference had four signal callers taken in the 2014 NFL Draft. Texas A&M will try to live life without Johnny Manziel, Georgia has to replace Aaron Murray, Alabama must move on from A.J. McCarron, and LSU will be without the […]
