Good morning, you princes and princesses of Georgia, you kings and queens of the SEC. With bye week number one in the rearview it’s time for Kirby and the gang to get down to business. The Alabama Crimson Tide are coming to town for a game with SEC title and College Football Playoff implications. If that doesn’t get your juices flowing, might I suggest another pastime?
The Red and Black opened up as a 3.5 point favorite over the Tide, which sounds like Vegas sees this one as a pick ‘‘em on a neutral field, which Sanford Stafium demonstrably is not. I could also see this line moving either up or down as the week progresses.

This is obviously a huge matchup for both teams, but Alabama in particular has a lot at stake. Kudos to Finebaum for twisting the knife with that Vanderbilt quip. There are a lot of practiced trolls across the SEC media landscape. But none of them quite measures up to PAAWWWLLLLL for poking fanbases where it hurts worst. Obviously it would be great for the Bulldogs to stay undefeated, and even without Nick Saban it feels like a win over the Tide is a bigger deal than the average SEC victory. But the chance to put the T
No. The answer is most emphatically, unreservedly and absolutely no, no, no.
Finally, your moment of big boy zen, courtesy of Jordan Davis:
According to some reports Davis is the heaviest NFL player to ever return a blocked kick for a touchdown. I can’t say that’s true, but it feels like it should be.
