Prevost: Deep thoughts around the SEC
Placeholder Image

With six weeks left in the regular season, it’s time to reflect on the teams of the finest conference in all of college football. A just-past-midseason assessment is appropriate given that most SEC teams are off this week — or they might as well be. Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Mississippi State are off. Alabama has the equivalent of an off week against Tennessee, as does Arkansas against the menacing Ole Miss Black Bears.

: The Plainsmen had their time last year, yet we’re still hearing about Cam Newton and the NCAA’s investigation. Auburn, please do us all a favor. Exit at stage left and let LSU and Alabama do their thing.: Pathetic. Just pathetic. : Perhaps the most disappointing team in the conference. It may have something to do with head coach Dan Mullen’s uncanny resemblance to Cousin Eddie from the "Vacation" films. Go ahead and Google Cousin Eddie and then Dan Mullen to see what I’m talking about. : The Razorbacks are having another excellent season and are ranked a surprising #9 in the BCS rankings. Not surprisingly, no one cares.
