Mystery of LSU's BCS Game Plan Becomes Clearer
I still don't understand LSU's game plan from the national championship game. Alabama's defense was good, historically good even, but the Tigers did themselves no favors with the way they tried to move the ball in that game. There is no good reason why LSU should have finished that game with under...
BCS National Championship Game: Neither Saban Nor Miles Is the Most Important Coach
It's tempting to try to boil the BCS National Championship Game down to Nick Saban vs. Les Miles. College football head coaches tend to end up with cults of personalities around them, and certainly The Process and The Mad Hatter have a couple of the biggest ones out there. No matter how good they...
SEC's Biggest Stories in 2011 No. 2: Rematch

Who Should Ole Miss Prioritize: RichRod or Mike Leach?
I honestly don't have any good idea what direction the Ole Miss coaching search will go in. In 1998, the school hired the offensive coordinator from the soon-to-be national champions in David Cutcliffe. He helped get them Eli Manning and had a 10-win season, but he was fired after seven years....

LSU Suspends Tyrann Mathieu, Spencer Ware One Game
LSU has suspended three players, including Tyrann Mathieu and Spencer Ware for this Saturday's game against Auburn. The LSU student newspaper Daily Reveille first broke the news after rumors floated much of the day, and the suspension was confirmed to ESPN.com and the AP. A third player, reserve...
Mississippi State Has a Lot to Overcome Against LSU
Mississippi State endured a close loss when its last real chance to score died as a quarterback keeper was stopped a yard short of the end zone. True, that describes last week's excruciating loss to Auburn. However, it also describes the last time LSU and Mississippi State met in Starkville. Back...

LSU has declared wide receiver Russell Shepard ineligible, and he will miss at least the season opener against Oregon. LSU found that he "discussed an NCAA inquiry with a teammate who was scheduled to meet with an NCAA representative and his actions were deemed to have violated NCAA protocol." That...
Year2 Brand SEC Picks: 2011 Edition
See here for last year's picks and here for the evaluation of them. Timing is everything in college football. It's going to be a major theme of my picks this year, as there are some outcomes that I don't think make that much sense in any other light. Honestly, I don't really like this set of picks....
