All of those help, but the cultural reason why the SEC is so strong is that first, many states in the south don't have a professional sports outlet so college football takes it's place. The second reason won't make people happy to hear, but it's true. Most schools in the SEC are decently easy to gai...

Not criticizing Vandy, just wondering what keeps them from capitalizing on Stanfords model of success. Recruiting highly intelligent athletes who also have a lot of talent. Stanford makes a living on fast, smart, and disciplined white boys to put a decent team together every year. California does it...

I can't think of a more perfect player for Ole Miss to have as the face of their team than Robert Nkemdiche. The parallels are just too perfect. 1. Way over hyped. 2. Has flashes of good, but at the end of the year the numbers say they're only slightly above average. 3. Constant excuse making fo...

There's a reason he was a 2x all American who went undraf...

Honestly, probably even better than last year. Their only question is at linebacker, but they run a nickel defense so they don't really use linebackers in a conventional way, and they have talented but unproven guys. Defensive line is probably best in the conference, secondary is top 3. Ole Miss' qu...

Over the past 8 years, Bama has raised their median ACT scores, brought in massive amounts of money to improve academic programs, and funded tenure-ship for much better professors all on the back of the winning football program. mostly by appealing to out of state students. Bama is the blueprint....
