I understand the track record Kiffin has when it comes to coaching at SEC schools, but I am not quite sure why everyone outside of LSU seems to think he will leave for a better job? The way I see it he has zero conference championship appearances in his coaching career and a habit for losing big games. Seems much more likely that he is kicked out of the bayou after 5 years of being James Franklin in disguise.

What is the best sec stadium in your opinion outside of your school? Genuinely curious! Mine would be Death Valley in Louisiana

Online and secondary are trash. Massive overreaction ranking them 8th.
Missouri is putting belt to ass

According to AP polls I guess Pitt, SMU, Houston, and USC are all considered to be “better”. Pitt and SMU beat up on a bunch of garbage teams. Houston and USC both only got tested in 1 game which they both lost. They also have beaten no good teams!

We got people declaring Florida is dog shit now after beating Ole Miss who beat LSU last week. I have a clever idea, maybe the SEC is just a really deep damn league… people were overreacting Texas played a close one to Tennessee on the road. People were overreacting when Florida dominated Ole Miss. People are overreacting that Mizzou is kicking Florida’s ass right now. People are going to overreact that MSU had a bad outing versus Alabama, although I do think Alabama is legit. SEC is just extremely deep this year and there is more parity than ever. Got to bring it every week or you will get a L in the loss column. The truth is if you are playing any SEC team on the road, especially the top 10 of the league you should be weary because if you have a C - day you will lose 8 times out of 10 even if you are the better team on paper. That is just talking about difficulty on the road in the SEC, it’s not easy to beat a competent league team at home either. This is the reality of the conference. It’s still early and with this chaos it’s hard to know for certain who will be in the top 3-5 conference teams that will be positioned for a shot to make the playoff. Exciting times, but let’s chill on the overreactions. A win is a win in this league. With the road losses we are seeing, how about we don’t shit on teams that pull of wins on the road versus the top half of the league as well? Thanks.

🏈 SEC Saturday Breakdown – October 3, 2026 🏈
What a wild day in the Southeastern Conference! Ranked teams took care of business (mostly), one thriller went to overtime, and a couple of statement wins lit up the scoreboard. Here’s how it all shook out:
#2 Georgia 38, Vanderbilt 14
The Dawgs stayed perfect. Gunner Stockton threw for 295 yards and 3 TDs as Georgia rolled in Athens. Vandy just couldn’t keep up. Georgia remains undefeated and rolling.
#7 Alabama 56, #16 Mississippi State 23
Bama put on a clinic in Starkville. Keelon Russell accounted for 4 total TDs (3 passing, 1 rushing) and the Tide defense forced turnovers. Mississippi State’s unbeaten streak is over in a big way. Alabama looks scary good.
#25 Missouri 45, #8 Florida 17
Statement win for the Tigers! Jamal Roberts ran for 211 yards and 3 scores, Austin Simmons threw for 340 and 2 TDs. Missouri completely dominated and snapped a long skid against ranked teams. Florida got run out of Columbia.
#17 Tennessee 24, Auburn 14
DeSean Bishop was a one-man wrecking crew with 220 rushing yards and 3 TDs. The Vols controlled the ground game and held on at Neyland. Auburn drops another SEC contest.
#24 Kentucky 35, South Carolina 34 (OT)
Game of the day right here. Kentucky trailed early, fought back, and won it in overtime on a gutsy 2-point conversion. Kenny Minchey delivered the big throws when it counted. Wildcats improve to 4-1, Gamecocks fall to 2-3.
Texas A&M 34, Arkansas 7
The Aggies handled business at home. Arkansas never got going offensively and the Hogs are still searching for that first SEC win.
#11 LSU 63, McNeese 14
Non-conference tune-up turned into a track meet. The Tigers piled up 731 yards of offense and scored on every red-zone trip. Easy day in Baton Rouge.
On bye this week:
Texas, Oklahoma, and Ole Miss all sat this one out.
Georgia and Alabama both stay perfect and set up a massive showdown next Saturday. Missouri just made a serious statement, Kentucky pulled off a thriller, and Tennessee got a much-needed win. The SEC is as chaotic and fun as ever.
