Auburn finally pulled the cord on Hugh Freeze. While he has always had strong offenses, this last tenure failed miserably. The defense is very solid and only needed minimal help on offense, but they help never seemed to arise. Now it’s back to the drawing board to see how Auburn can solve their offensive woes.

This has been a long time coming - their 1st SEC win in several years. They have been really close several times this season, but finally got across the finish line.
I’m still of the opinion that Lebby has this team pointed upwards, but I think more talent is needed on both sides of the ball. The first season was bad, the second season has displayed promise, next year needs to take another big step and win a lot more games than you lose.
Hall of Shame
At the end of the year, this will be the worst 3-4 teams. For now, it will be for public shaming.

The formula for Arkansas is pretty easy this year: don’t turn the ball over, and don’t commit penalties. The penalties were off the chart. When your penalty yards are close to the other teams rushing or passing yards, it makes it extremely difficult to win games, and it makes it impossible to hire the interim coach.

I really am puzzled by this. SC started the season as the #11 team in the nation. Now the offense coordinator and offensive line coach have been fired because the new scheme appears to have completely disabled Seller’s ability to play QB. Beamer has done better than I expected, but this year is testing his prior good will as this offense is inexcusable.

A slow start really put Vandy behind the 8 ball in the first half (down 10-24). This the 2nd week I can recall where Vandy misfired out of the gate in the 1st half and created a sizable hole to crawl out. The furious comeback effort in the 4th came just short of tying the game as the onside kick couldn’t be controlled and rolled out of bounds.
Vandy still has the playoffs in front of them, but their margin for error is essentially gone. They still have some tough games ahead. Will Vandy anchor down?

The good offense vs the good defense, and the good defense won this battle. The turnovers seemed to be the crucial factor in this game. Was Aguilar too aggressive or was the defense too good? Regardless why the turnovers happened, they happened and really hurt the vols.
The Sooners hung around. Their offense was not spectacular, but it was good enough. Again, the sooner defense played very well in this battle. The Vols now have 3 losses on the year, but all their loses are to top ranked teams.

The Sooners went to Tennessee and escaped with the win. The Sooners offense struggled early, but the defense kept them close with timely score in the 1st quarter. The Sooner’s grinder most of the day, and did just enough to win.
The D played another great game and kept them in it. The Offense did just enough to come home with the win. The Oklahoma schedule is still stout. They have two more ranked teams out of their 3 remaining games. How will the Sooners finish up the year: playoffs or bust?

The Texas situation is the oddest I can remember. They have a team stacked with talent, but have been underperforming all year; however, they are pulling out wins with a lot of these poor performances. They are working themselves right back into the hunt for a playoff spot as well as the SEC championship game. There is still a tough road ahead, but they keep finding ways to win. And the Georgia game seems much more intriguing. Are the stars aligning? I’m not predicting a comeback, but if they do, it might be the best comeback ever.
The defense continues to keep the team in games, but the offense is showing signs of life. The offensive line looks to be gelling which bought time for Arch to execute the offense. How much further can this offense improve before the season ends?
Texas’ goals are in front of them, but they have several tough games ahead. Will they be able to finish strong?

Playoff Watch
This new section is not a prediction on who will be in the playoffs. It’s just at current standing based on merit.
As the ranks thin out, we may have to start introducing two loss teams before too long.
ACC
- Georgia Tech - 1 loss to NC State
- Louisville - 1 loss to Virginia
- Virginia - 1 loss to NC State
Down goes Miami - again.
B10
- Ohio State - Undefeated
- Indiana - Undefeated
- Oregon - 1 loss to Indiana
B12 (favorite Texas Tech lost)
- BYU - undefeated, but they have only played one ranked team who is no longer ranked.
- Texas Tech - 1 loss to Arizona State
Cincinnati and Houston with second losses. BYU and Tech play each other this weekend
SEC
- Bama - I have to place them at the top just based on their schedule. They have 4 top 25 wins compared to A&M’s 1
- Texas A&M - Undefeated, but they haven’t played the hardest competition outside of Notre Dame
- Georgia - If the Dawgs played the 1st half like they play the 4th quarter, they would be undefeated and ranked number 1, but they haven’t.
- Ole Miss - 1 quarter away from being undefeated
- Texas - only has 1 conference loss to Florida
Vanderbilt got bumped this week.
Independent
- Notre Dame - They looked horrible against a 1-7 BC team, but they won. The media will likely move them up because that is what they do.
Group of 5 - this will solve itself as the season plays out so I’m not going to detail this.

- Texas A&M - Undefeated, but they haven’t played the hardest competition outside of Notre Dame
- Georgia - If the Dawgs played the 1st half like they play the 4th quarter, they would be undefeated and ranked number 1, but they haven’t.
- Ole Miss - 1 quarter away from being undefeated
- Texas - only has 1 conference loss to Florida
Vanderbilt got bumped this week.
Independent
- Notre Dame - They looked horrible against a 1-7 BC team, but they won. The media will likely move them up because that is what they do.
Group of 5 - this will solve itself as the season plays out so I’m not going to detail this.
Here We Go…

Ole Miss is looking like a lock for the playoffs unless some upsets take place. The rebels took care of business against a struggling Gamecocks team. Florida and State are the only P4 teams left on the schedule. Will the rebels finish strong?

It’s hard to say exactly what is wrong other than the backend of their schedule is tough. The Sooners don’t look bad but they are starting to look more average, but there is still time to get some big wins.

I don’t know if others saw what I saw, but I looks like the coaches have ruined Harold Perkins. He doesn’t look like himself. Whatever fire he used to have, it was extinguished by the time A&M played the Tigers. He was loafing around half the game like he had given up. I don’t blame him.

I’m sure some people won’t agree with this, but I have Texas as middle of the pack because that is how they have looked the last several weeks. What’s crazy is the offense could figure things out and their path to the playoffs is still possible. Being taken to overtime by some of the leagues lesser competition isn’t good, but the offense is finally showing signs of life. We will have to see if Arch plays this week. It’s a tough schedule ahead, but it’s certainly possible.

I thought after the A&M game, the offense had figured things out. Unfortunately, Taylen Green had 3 interceptions really limiting a flawed team.
This Arkansas team is good enough to win, but they are limited. The offense can’t turn the ball over and penalties must be limited. They did great on penalties, but the turnovers got y’all this week. What was surprising for me was that Green contributed multiple turnovers. Let’s call it a bad game and focus on a win next week.

Week 9 Assessment
Posted by DrKnievel on 10/31/25 at 8:39 pm
Week 8
Better late than never!
Bring on the Hate…
‘Sure was proud of the SEC this week. We rallied together and now everyone universally despises Brian Kelley.’
‘I thought we had gotten past the whole social distancing thing, but it looks like the LSU defense has not’
‘I don’t know if y’all were able to watch the Vanderbilt vs. Missouri game, but the last time I saw that many flags, I was taking a tour of the United Nations.’
‘Let’s say you find yourself lost on the wrong side of town in need of directions. You head to a gas station that was built during WW2. The friendly gentleman behind the counter helps you out, and you decide to return the favor by purchasing a 4 day old pork sandwich and scarf it down. You immediately regret your decision as your stomach starts to grumble and you know the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned in a decade. As your walk becomes a strut due to uncontrollable stomach pain, give a snicker fingered salute to Bill Belichick for his ill advised two against Virginia while you carry out your own.’
Playoff Watch
This new section is not a prediction on who will be in the playoffs. It’s just at current standing based on merit.
ACC (favorite Miami lost)
- Georgia Tech - Undefeated and plays great together as a team, but concerned how their talent will hold up in the playoffs
- 1 Loss teams: Louisville, Miami, and Virginia
B10
- Ohio State - Undefeated
- Indiana - Undefeated
- Oregon - 1 loss to Indiana
B12 (favorite Texas Tech lost)
- BYU - undefeated, but they have only played one ranked team who is no longer ranked.
- 1 Loss teams: Cincinnati, Houston, and Texas Tech
SEC
- Bama - I have to place them at the top just based on their schedule. They have 4 top 25 wins compared to A&M’s 1
- Texas A&M - Undefeated, but they haven’t played the hardest competition outside of Notre Dame
- Georgia - If the Dawgs played the 1st half like they play the 4th quarter, they would be undefeated and ranked number 1, but they haven’t.
- Ole Miss - 1 quarter away from being undefeated
- Vanderbilt - 1 loss to Bama, but this is a good team - not just a gunslinger QB
Missouri and Oklahoma fell out this week. Who will remain after this week? My only guarantee of the week is Bama and A&M won’t fall this week.
Independent
- Notre Dame - The Irish should be able to win out their remaining schedule and will likely find themselves in the playoffs despite one ranked win over a team that is no longer ranked. Thank the media.
Group of 5 - this will solve itself as the season plays out so I’m not going to detail this.

What a game. The tigers kept it close and even led at halftime, but everything seemed to click in the second half for the Aggies. They scored 35 unanswered before allowing a garbage time touchdown. Strong showing by A&M.
After a 1 week hiatus in Arkansas, the defense is back to dominating third downs (2-13). Special teams looked great besides the one blocked punt for a safety. They get the week off and then play a well balanced Missouri.
Fun fact of the week: current and former A&M QB’s are 23-1 on the year (Marcel Reed, Haynes King, and Conner Weigman - excluded Jalen Henderson and Zach Calzada as they aren’t starting)

The tide survived. I don’t understand the erratic games at FSU and South Carolina, but fortunately, the less than stellar play this past weekend doesn’t cost Bama anything. Regroup, fix what needs to be fixed, and proceed forward.
You have to give credit to the cocks. They elevated their game and pressed Bama most of the game. Bama had the resolve to fight from behind and pull out the win.

Ole Miss stormed into Norman and got the win. The match up of your offense against their defense was intriguing and the Rebels won that battle. In addition, the Ole Miss defense continues to be better than people think.
My only critique: why go for it on 4h and 1 at your own 25? My biggest problem here is momentum. Ole Miss gifted OU a field goal that could have been a touchdown. It’s just unnecessary risk.

This game felt like an old school throwback game between Bama vs. LSU. The offenses couldn’t sustain drives much less score lots of points. Both defenses held the other in check most of the game.
Give credit to the tiger defense. Vandy has grinded out 3rd downs all year until this game. But the Vandy defense was able to to the same. A hard fought game where the commodores earned the win.

The friendly gentleman behind the counter helps you out, and you decide to return the favor by purchasing a 4 day old pork sandwich and scarf it down. You immediately regret your decision as your stomach starts to grumble and you know the bathroom hasn’t been cleaned in a decade. As your walk becomes a strut due to uncontrollable stomach pain, give a snicker fingered salute to Bill Belichick for his ill advised two against Virginia while you carry out your own.’
Playoff Watch
This new section is not a prediction on who will be in the playoffs. It’s just at current standing based on merit.
ACC (favorite Miami lost)
- Georgia Tech - Undefeated and plays great together as a team, but concerned how their talent will hold up in the playoffs
- 1 Loss teams: Louisville, Miami, and Virginia
B10
- Ohio State - Undefeated
- Indiana - Undefeated
- Oregon - 1 loss to Indiana
B12 (favorite Texas Tech lost)
- BYU - undefeated, but they have only played one ranked team who is no longer ranked.
- 1 Loss teams: Cincinnati, Houston, and Texas Tech
SEC
- Bama - I have to place them at the top just based on their schedule. They have 4 top 25 wins compared to A&M’s 1
- Texas A&M - Undefeated, but they haven’t played the hardest competition outside of Notre Dame
- Georgia - If the Dawgs played the 1st half like they play the 4th quarter, they would be undefeated and ranked number 1, but they haven’t.
- Ole Miss - 1 quarter away from being undefeated
- Vanderbilt - 1 loss to Bama, but this is a good team - not just a gunslinger QB
Missouri and Oklahoma fell out this week. Who will remain after this week? My only guarantee of the week is Bama and A&M won’t fall this week.
Independent
- Notre Dame - The Irish should be able to win out their remaining schedule and will likely find themselves in the playoffs despite one ranked win over a team that is no longer ranked. Thank the media.
Group of 5 - this will solve itself as the season plays out so I’m not going to detail this.
Here We Go…
Playoff Team
#3 Texas A&M (8-0, SEC 5-0, P4: 6-0, Non-P4: 2-0, AP: +1)

Weekly Status: Top 20 Road Win
What a game. The tigers kept it close and even led at halftime, but everything seemed to click in the second half for the Aggies. They scored 35 unanswered before allowing a garbage time touchdown. Strong showing by A&M.
After a 1 week hiatus in Arkansas, the defense is back to dominating third downs (2-13). Special teams looked great besides the one blocked punt for a safety. They get the week off and then play a well balanced Missouri.
Fun fact of the week: current and former A&M QB’s are 23-1 on the year (Marcel Reed, Haynes King, and Conner Weigman - excluded Jalen Henderson and Zach Calzada as they aren’t starting)
#4 Alabama (7-1, SEC 5-0, P4: 6-1, Non-P4: 1-0, AP: +4)
Opponent: @ South Carolina (3-5) (P4), Line: -12.5 (-5.5)

Prior Week: Top 15 Win (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Road Win (Met Expectations)
The tide survived. I don’t understand the erratic games at FSU and South Carolina, but fortunately, the less than stellar play this past weekend doesn’t cost Bama anything. Regroup, fix what needs to be fixed, and proceed forward.
You have to give credit to the cocks. They elevated their game and pressed Bama most of the game. Bama had the resolve to fight from behind and pull out the win.

Ole Miss stormed into Norman and got the win. The match up of your offense against their defense was intriguing and the Rebels won that battle. In addition, the Ole Miss defense continues to be better than people think.
My only critique: why go for it on 4h and 1 at your own 25? My biggest problem here is momentum. Ole Miss gifted OU a field goal that could have been a touchdown. It’s just unnecessary risk.
#10 Vanderbilt (7-1, SEC 3-1, P4: 4-1, Non-P4: 3-0, AP: +7)

This game felt like an old school throwback game between Bama vs. LSU. The offenses couldn’t sustain drives much less score lots of points. Both defenses held the other in check most of the game.
Give credit to the tiger defense. Vandy has grinded out 3rd downs all year until this game. But the Vandy defense was able to to the same. A hard fought game where the commodores earned the win.

It proves the right decision was made
The problem here is there are a series of decisions to be made, and BK was the first one. I agree - for whatever reason, BK didn’t work at LSU.
If we are being honest, BK looked like a great hire at the time. So, whoever you get is not guaranteed success. Let’s see who you get and how that pans out.

No you didn’t dumbass. You named a bunch of coaches who have never won a championship.
I’ll type slower for you:
- Bret Bielema - 2010-2012 Big 10 championship at Wisconsin

- Bill Parcells - Super Bowl ‘87 & ‘91
Now go back and reread your posts.

2. He’s an absolute fat sloppy man. When is the last time a coach as out of shape as Elko won a championship?
You have since tried to insert college into your argument as well as thrown in a “recently” qualifier. I’m sure you will insert some new argument since I continue to destroy your pathetic arguments.
I’ll wait for you to finish delivering pizzas before your next response.

I have asked for fat championship coaches and you didn’t name any. Are you really this dumb?
Already asked and answered, dolt

I asked for fat coaches who have won a championship in college football. You didn’t name any. It’s an inconvenient truth and that’s why all of you Aggies are getting so mad about it.
You lack of intelligence is showing. You asked for championship coaches. Now you are moving the goal posts because you just aren’t very smart.
quote:
I warned the Arkie fans that Pittman wasn’t that good and was catching lightning in a bottle 3 seasons ago and everyone on the rant laughed. The same thing is happening now with Elko
I wasn’t arguing your opinion. I was arguing your stupid take that fat people can’t coach is based on nothing but your bias.
quote:
I’m not addressing the singing vs coaching again. You’re obviously as dense as the dude that made the comparison because they don’t correlate at all.
Let me explain dense to you. You make a stupid comment then demand people name fat coaches. I did just that, and you act like a toddler not even acknowledging I answered your question. Instead of you acknowledging you were wrong, you throw your hands in the air and say I’m not playing anymore.
Let’s just say you are running a deficit when it comes to your knowledge.
quote:
Lots of unhealthy people can sing well. What a retarded analogy.
Now you name a HC in recent history that’s was fat and won a championship
You see that singing has nothing to do with weight, yet you still correlate coaching and weight. You don’t seem to grasp that singing or coaching is a skill that has nothing to do with weight. You don’t strike me as Einstein material. You seem more like a Bubba
Sam Pittman wasn’t a championship head coach, but Bret Bielema is. In addition, Mark Mangino, Bill Parcels and John Madden would fit your expectations. Because you can’t come up with one is more a reflection on you than the childish question you pose. Fat shame all you want, but it has nothing to do with somebodies ability to coach, but I’m sure you will change the scope or ask another idiotic question. Now, you would likely have a problem being coached by an overweight individual, but that is an entirely different problem than you are presenting.
Let’s have some fun at your expense: who are the greatest coaches that smoked, who are the greatest coaches that drove vans, and who are the greatest coaches that had a higher IQ than jryanw? All are irrelevant just like the question you presented. :banghead:

Yes. How fat or how skinny you are has zero correlation with performance. Let me guess, you didn’t think jellyroll could sing until he dropped 250, right?
Maybe we can do the top 10 coaches that smoked next since that has the same level of correlation.

What I don't get is the love for Georgia and Ole Miss while A&M is unanimously considered untested.
A lot of people throw in a historical bias (probably without realizing it). For example, Georgia has had a great run over the last several years, so people expect them to continue. Take A&M who has relatively done little the last decade beside some upsets. Most people will assume we will falter at some point because historically, we have.
You are what you are until you aren’t. The biases I mentioned above will either be confirmed or blown up at the end of the season, but it is assumed each team will gravitate towards their mean.

Georgia has only lost to Alabama.
Georgia was held scoreless in the fourth quarter by Alabama.
They didn't lose to Ole Miss.
Poor wording on my part. I wasn’t clear. They lost to Alabama, but I was referring to the 4th against Ole Miss. sorry for the confusion.

I can rarely recall, if ever, seeing our defense so utterly pathetic and helpless over and over again.
You should have seen the A&M D against Arkansas then. Haha :cheers:
