The SEC is turning into the Wild West of college football, with offenses blasting away as defenses struggle to keep up. We wrap up week three. Let’s take a lighthearted look at each team’s situation and offer some friendly advice.
Mississippi State, congratulations on securing an SEC win. It’s like Georgia going 13-0 for you guys. Keep up the unexpected wins, and maybe aim for a less humble 4-8 next?
Vanderbilt, bowling is fun, but not in your future this season. Maybe try generating some offense?
Kentucky, without Randall Cobb, you’d be a top contender… in the Sun Belt Conference. Brace yourselves. Your schedule isn’t getting any easier with Florida and Alabama on the horizon.
Auburn, Gene Chizik might just double his career wins by October. Enjoy the ride with Chris Todd’s bionic arm, but maybe schedule some tougher teams?
South Carolina, your budding offense is making things interesting. Your real test comes on October 17th at Alabama. Survive that, and we’ll talk.
Arkansas, the offense is explosive, defense is… absent. Maybe find some balance unless you’re aiming for the highest-scoring losses.
Tennessee, what could be if you had a real quarterback? Find someone who can match your defense’s intensity, and maybe you won’t just cover spreads. You’ll dominate.
Georgia, Joe Cox, the ginger-armed wonder, has been a revelation. Let’s make sure that defense tightens up unless you plan on giving every game away.
Ole Miss, overrated might be an understatement, but Thursday’s game will tell us more. Show us how you can compete with big dogs like Gamecocks.
Alabama, you’re devouring cupcakes like a pro. Keep proving you can handle a shootout because someone will challenge you to one.
LSU, that win over Washington means more now, doesn’t it? Just keep winning. It’s not pretty, but it works.
Florida, not quite Patriots-level dominance, but you’re still running the table. Watch out for that team with a stout defense and a competent quarterback. They might just catch you off guard.
