Playing off the immortal words of Lynyrd Skynyrd, what song (game) is it you want to hear (see)? We threw out a few dream possibilities involving SEC teams a week ago in our SportsNation poll. These were potential nonconference matchups. With m...

The team I wanted to see face Alabama last season in the BCS National Championship was Oregon. It's the matchup the entire country wanted to see. No offense, Notre Dame fans, but seeing that high-octane Oregon offense go up against Alabama's defen...

The 2014 recruiting classes around the SEC are starting to take shape. The latest class rankings by ESPN has five SEC teams in the top-10 nationally and seven in the top 15. Obviously, it's going to change over the next several months. But right ...

With the advent of the College Football Playoff in 2014, I think we'll start to see even more marquee nonconference matchups. Coaches might not like the idea, but fans will. There's nothing worse than the national race heating up in November an...

The SEC had a record 63 players selected in last month's NFL draft, including 12 in the first round. I'm not sure it's realistic to expect that kind of haul next year, but it's never too early to start looking ahead to the 2014 draft class. So,...

Alabama's athletic department led the SEC in revenue produced in 2012 and was fourth nationally, according to a USA Today report. Alabama took in $124,899,945 in revenue and spent $108,204,867 for a subsidy of $5,461,200. Texas was No. 1 nation...

Making the rounds on a Thursday: Texas A&M is planning to outdo Texas with the new Kyle Field. Alabama's Adrian Hubbard is getting a lot of love in early 2014 NFL draft projections. Former LSU cornerback Tharold Simon has his say about hi...

Spring stars can break your heart. Sometimes, guys look like All-SEC material during spring practice and then don't do much of anything during the season. Other times, we get a glimpse of what's to come during the spring, guys who tear it up du...

SEC commissioner Mike Slive says he wants "football expertise" on the selection committee that will pick the four teams for the College Football Playoff starting in 2014. The most intriguing component in the whole move to a playoff remains the mak...

My ESPN colleague, Mark Schlabach, has juggled his 2013 Way-Too-Early Preseason Top 25 poll to reflect the conclusion of spring practice, and Ohio State has replaced Alabama as the new No. 1 team. I'm sure he hasn't received much feedback from the...

Among the SEC players who didn't get drafted were Tennessee quarterback Tyler Bray, Arkansas guard Alvin Bailey, Auburn running back Onterio McCalebb, Mississippi State receiver Chad Bumphis and Alabama safety Robert Lester. Bray was the most surp...
