With no matchups between top-25 teams this past Saturday, not a lot was learned about the teams at the top of the college football food chain. The COVID-19 postponements and cancellations have taught us that the teams most able to adapt and maintain an organizational structure will rise to the top. So it is no […]

The 2020 college football season has already nudged past the halfway point. But the numerous COVID-related postponements and cancellations give this Saturday the feel of a mid-season intermission. That means it is a good time to offer up a few predictions for the rest of the year. Prediction #1: Mac Jones will win the Heisman […]

Can anyone compete with Bama?

Last week, we compared the Crimson Tide’s roster to what we thought could be its closest competitor — Clemson. We concluded that there was a fairly substantial gap between the two. This was confirmed again last night, as Dabo Swinney’s Tigers looked helpless in the secondary and overwhelmed along the offensive line in its loss […]

When the revised SEC schedule came out in August, wedding coordinators across the state rushed to book this date for their clients.

The Alabama High School Athletic Association’s oldest all-star game has found a new home.

There have been no big non-conference matchups. Teams (Michigan) have seen dramatic rises and falls in consecutive weeks. Whole teams (Wisconsin) have been put out of commission. A Heisman contender (Trevor Lawrence) tested out for his team’s biggest regular season game. A major conference (Pac-12) has yet to even step on the field. One thing […]

Bama continued to get it done through the air in a 41-0 shutout against Mississippi State. Mike Leach’s team is known to have a relatively weak defense by SEC standards, but the air-raid offense was supposed to make up for that. As it turns out, Alabama is too much for Mississippi State to handle on […]

Auburn dominates LSU, wins 48-11

This was the performance that everyone associated with Auburn football needed. Head coach Gus Malzahn had lost three consecutive games to LSU, and Auburn fans would have been furious if this week was another loss to the Bayou Bengals. The Tigers’ players needed to win this game to build confidence and to give themselves an […]

A smart guy said something silly this week. ESPN’s David Pollack used his network’s college football podcast to announce his belief that Jaylen Waddle’s season-ending injury was fatal to the Crimson Tide’s national championship run. “I think it’s over for Bama,” Pollack said. “I think if you’re just talking about winning a national title, I […]

What to watch: Auburn vs. LSU edition

This week, Auburn takes on the defending national champion LSU Tigers (2-2). However, this year’s version of the Bayou Bengals looks much different than last year’s juggernaut.
