With each passing week in college football, a team or two is eliminated from Playoff contention. These highly ranked teams all happen to play each other, which helps prevent outright chaos and keeps the fans of those teams truly in contention a little calmer. Alabama survived its trip to Death Valley, Auburn fumbled away a […]

When a point is repeatedly hammered home without much success, maybe doing the opposite is the trick. At least that’s what Alabama head coach Nick Saban thinks about the team’s fumbling issues. “We’ve been emphasizing it all year, so I don’t know how you emphasize something that’s so important anymore,” Saban said. “Maybe we ought […]

The New York Times recently worked with Facebook to conduct a study determining which parts of the country have the highest concentration of college football fans, and much like its two SEC powerhouse teams do on the field, the state of Alabama dominated the competition. The Times’ Neil Irwin and Kevin Quealy explain: Alabama has […]

Alabama’s dramatic win over LSU means it still controls its place in the Playoff chase, but it also gives even more importance to Saturday’s game against Mississippi State. With a top four showdown coming, ESPN will set up its traveling tentpole show College Gameday in front of the Walk of Champions at Bryant-Denny Stadium. #Breaking: […]

“Death Valley: where dreams go to die.” – LSU Coach Les Miles Alabama delivered a forgettable performance for just under four quarters of play Saturday night in Baton Rouge, but the 20-13 overtime win ended up being a victory that Crimson Tide fans will always remember. T.J. Yeldon fumbled the ball on the Alabama 5-yard […]

After last week’s performance at Ole Miss, Kris Frost has emerged a vital component of what could be a championship-bound team. For that, Gus Malzahn may want to write a note of thanks to the university’s aviation school. “When I came here for my visit, looking around, I found out that they actually had an […]

Earlier this week, Auburn wide receiver Sammie Coates was seen wearing a shirt that read “State of Auburn,” depicting the state of Alabama outline, filled in with blue and striped with blue and orange. The shirt was only available to football players at the time, but was an instant hit. This, of course, did not […]

For Alabama, playing LSU is never easy, especially in Baton Rouge. Regardless of either team’s record or current form, it has been a hotly contested game — usually involving national title implications — ever since Alabama head coach Nick Saban arrived. “These games are traditionally very tough, physical games between two ranked teams and it’s […]

Alabama and Auburn both control their own destiny into the Final Four of the College Football Playoff. All they have to do is win the rest of their games. Easy enough, right? Alabama moved up one spot in the poll from sixth to fifth as it heads to No. 16 LSU this weekend. But even with the […]

The midterm elections are upon us, and with some SEC fans feeling a bit unsatisfied with the options they were given on the ballot, they have decided to write in some more preferable options. And we’re not just talking about Nick Saban receiving hundreds of votes, which he typically does every election cycle. This is […]

We all know Gus Malzahn’s signature “Boom!” celebration after a great play. Turns out, that isn’t the only sweet move in his arsenal. The head coach for the Auburn Tigers also has some explosive moves on the dance floor. And there is a video to prove it. The year was 1996. The place, Six Flags […]

Alabama offensive lineman Cam Robinson may be returning earlier than expected, after suffering a high ankle sprain against Tennessee two weekends ago. Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Robinson will be limited in practice Monday, but has been able to run along the sidelines only 10 days removed from his injury. “We haven’t ruled him out […]

There wasn’t as much upheaval in college football over weekend as there has been in recent weeks, but don’t worry, things are probably about to get wild as the days get shorter and the games get better. Florida State survived its Thursday night contest, Auburn outlasted Ole Miss, Oregon squashed Stanford, and Alabama didn’t play. […]

(BOTH VIDEOS MAY AUTO-PLAY BECAUSE OF ESPN’S SETTINGS. SORRY FOR THE INCONVENIENCE.) Anyone can watch a football game and act like they know better than a coach or an analyst, but nothing beats actual analysis from the coaches and players who were involved. Alabama head coach Nick Saban did just that as he appeared on […]

Alabama lost one of its best offensive lineman Saturday, now comes the process of replacing him. Left tackle Cam Robinson, the true freshman 5-star recruit from Louisiana, went down with a high ankle sprain against Tennessee and didn’t return to the game. Alabama head coach Nick Saban said Robinson would miss “at least two weeks” and […]

When it comes to college football, tradition is the name of the game. Each team has its own unique rituals before the big event. From Florida State’s Chief Osceola with his flaming spear to Hawaii performing the Haka, these ceremonies are sacred, and almost as important as the actual pigskin. In a list put together […]

The College Football Playoff committee released its first top 25 ranking Tuesday and had three SEC West teams in the final four, none of which was Alabama.

Finally, a poll that matters, just at the wrong time. The College Football Playoff committee emerged from its conclave Tuesday to reveal the first College Football Playoff College Football Poll. They name everything so literally. In the highly anticipated moment, the top four have been set, along with the remaining 21 teams who will play […]

After holding Tennessee to 17 points Saturday, Alabama’s Landon Collins and Reggie Ragland were named to their positions’ national award semifinalists list. Collins was for the second year in a row named as a Jim Thorpe Award semifinalist for the nation’s best safety. Collins has been a staple on Alabama’s defense this season, bolstering a […]

Another week has flown by in college football and we’re really starting to learn things about these teams. Ole Miss is no longer perfect, and LSU reminded everyone that playing at night in Baton Rouge is still terrible. Mississippi State and Auburn looked beatable but both finished strong. Notre Dame and Florida State both took […]

What started as a personal vendetta to see how many points Alabama could score, turned into an injury-ridden slugfest as the Crimson Tide beat Tennessee 34-20. Similarly to last week’s game against Texas A&M, in the first quarter, it wasn’t a matter of whether Alabama would win, it was by how much, as the Tide amassed […]

AUBURN, Ala.–Auburn returned home after its bye week to a surprising shootout that ended with a 42-35 win over South Carolina Saturday. “Obviously, this is a big win for us at home,” Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn said. “Lot of adversity we faced but our guys found a way to win.” This game was a […]
