Georgia's national championship victory over TCU is less than a week old, but the news and offseason never stops in college football - and that's especially true in the SEC. The Bulldogs will be heavily favored to win the SEC next season, which means 13 other teams have already started to aim for coach Kirby Smart's program and how to topple the…

LSU finished 10-4 in its 1st season under Brian Kelly. It won the SEC West but got beaten pretty badly by Georgia in the SEC Championship Game.

The Tigers…

LSU began the season with a lot of personnel concerns. The Tigers didn't even have 85 scholarship players. A lot of players who were being counted on had come through the transfer portal or arrived as true freshmen, and it was unclear how they would mesh with each other as well as a new coaching staff. The depth wasn't as good as head coach Brian…

The NCAA Tournament has Cinderellas and buzzer-beaters. Madness belongs to bowl season. A record 43 bowl games will be played over the next few weeks - more than double the number of bowl games held in 1997 - and 17 of them will feature at least one team without a winning record. A dizzying number of coaches and coordinators have already ditched…

The subplots in the first Backyard Brawl since 2011 are bountiful. It's impossible to talk about this game without mentioning all the USC Trojans storylines, even if that program probably makes Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi bristle.
