2015 Alabama & Auburn football schedules released

The 2015 football schedules for Alabama and Auburn were released last night, along with every other SEC school — and it answered some questions.

The chaos of Week 6 in college football claimed a number of playoff contenders, with Alabama’s loss to Ole Miss or Oregon’s home loss to Arizona vying for the most unexpected. But through the bloodshed, Nick Marshall and Auburn burst through unscathed, throttling No. 15 LSU at home 41-7 and silencing the offensive concerns that […]

Well, that was interesting. Loads of top teams lost, meaning the power rankings look a bit different than they did last week. Of course, this isn’t the Final Four and there’s still plenty of football left to be played, but maybe this year will be filled with chaos instead of nice uniformity. My first idea […]

A Tribe Called Quest’s “Can I Kick It?” serves as the perfect backdrop for Auburn fans to relive the magic of the (in)famous “Kick Six” from last year’s Iron Bowl and other disastrous (for Alabama) moments in the game’s history.

SEC football in Kansas on a Thursday night just feels strange. Thursday nights are for NBC comedies, NFL football, Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal. USC in its glory years would always drop a Thursday night game in Oregon or at Cal, and MAC football makes its money on mid-week games, but Thursday nights feel like they’re suited for teams who play […]

Yes, I am one of those crazy few making the drive from Auburn to Manhattan this week for the showdown between No. 5 Auburn and No. 20 Kansas State. All week I heard about how terrible of a drive it was, but honestly, it’s been a smooth trip so far. Sure, I’m 11 hours in […]

College Football Power Rankings: Week 3

Fayetteville, Georgia resident Robert Burton isn’t one to sync his Christmas lights to the typical background music.
