On ESPN, Nick Saban previewed a game many expected he’d coach in. But it’s Georgia’s world now as Kirby Smart hoisted another championship trophy.

As Bryce Young, Will Anderson Jr. and others depart, Alabama football and Nick Saban don’t look so formidable entering the offseason.

Once the 12-team College Football Playoff arrives in 2024, winning a conference title will men an even greater reward and a loss will cut deeper.

Georgia routed LSU 50-30 and enters the Playoff as favorite to win it all. Kirby Smart deserves SEC coach of the year for this prolonged dominance.

If Lane Kiffin had planned to take a final bow by winning the Egg Bowl, Mississippi State spoiled the party. Will Kiffin remain at Ole Miss?

Alabama will not play for the SEC title or in the College Football Playoff. QB Bryce Young is only reason this Tide team was even in the conversation.

There was no chance of Kentucky keeping up with Tennessee. UK is a basketball school, after all. Now, bring on Georgia. UT looks ready for the champs.

Tennessee secured its first win over Alabama since 2006 and should receive real consideration as the best team in the country, Blake Toppmeyer writes.

This will be Brian Kelly’s first SEC road test. Five of the past six meetings in this Auburn-LSU rivalry have been decided by five points or fewer.
