- Can we just start SEC play? These G6 and FCS games are for the birds.

Progress, but we’re still shaking off a poor Week 1. We should have known better than to not take Ole Miss at the Vaught. Hats off to the Aggies for stealing the luck of the Irish and winning a “big game.”

Why isn’t this game on ABC at 7:30? The 3:30 on ESPN just doesn’t hit the same as the SEC on CBS did. And no, we are not trying to bring back Gary. This is one of the highlights of the Week 4 slate. This game could have been the Hot Seat Bowl. Both Brent Venables and Hugh Freeze have underperformed at their current school. Venables and the Sooners have found life Courtesy of Ben Arbuckle and John Mateer. The two have revitalized the Sooners’ offense and made a perfect complement to the stingy Sooner defense.
Freeze also upgraded this offseason, bringing in Jackson Arnold from Norman. Arnold has breathed new life into the Auburn offense with his legs. He will face a big challenge on his homecoming. Oklahoma showed two weeks ago that it can shut down a run-heavy game in its win against Michigan. For Auburn to turn the corner and win in Norman, Arnold will have to show he can consistently hit Cam Coleman and Eric Singleton Jr. Both are top-end receivers who have yet to benefit from the new QB1.
Pick: Oklahoma.
Tulane @ No. 13 Ole Miss
Pick: Tulane
South Carolina @ No. 23 Missouri
What happened to the Gamecocks? LaNorris Sellers got hurt. Sellers was no doubt South Carolina’s best player coming into 2025. We all knew that. When he went out with a suspected concussion, we saw the impact it had on the Gamecock offense. The offense struggled to move the ball, and South Carolina got blown out by lil ole Vanderbilt at home. If Sellers is out for an extended time, this could bring hard times for Shane Beamer. The “other” Columbia is a hostile environment, especially at night. This one could get crooked again quickly and have Beamer questioning if Blacksburg might sound better in the offseason.
Pick: Missouri
Florida @ No. 4 Miami
