Brian Kelly should not speak for all SEC football coaches

1 week ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

Brian Kelly is worried about some kind of deficit SEC Football has with the Big Ten. He would be better served focusing on LSU. When describing Brian Kelly, two things are certain. He is a good football coach, and he loves to make bold statements. At the recent SEC meetings, Kelly said, " The Big Ten right now holds it on the SEC,” Kelly said. They’ve won the last two national championships, OK? That’s the reality of it.
The college football Power Two is taking heat, but in the end the Big Dogs will eat

1 week ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

In the spiraling debate over future college football Playoff formats, Greg Sankey is more right than wrong. Let's be real. College football does have a Power Four. At the top is a Power Two of the SEC and the Big Ten. Below the Power Two are the ACC and the Big 12, and the gap in power is not small. Then there is a basically insignificant Group of Six. The CFP Playoff format is expected to expand to 16 teams in the 2026 season.
A misplaced honor goes to Tennessee AD Danny White

1 week ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

The same Tennessee guy who refuses to abide by rules was recently named the Athletic Director of the Year. Let's discuss two college sports awards. One was recently bestowed by the Sports Business Journal (SBJ). SBJ named University of Tennessee Athletic Director Danny White the Athletic Director of the Year. I have created a second award, with SBJ as the winner for the Most Tone-Deaf organization covering the world of sports.
On behalf of Alabama Football and several other SEC programs, Urban Meyer is wrong

2 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

Unsurprising sources espouse that the Big Ten has overtaken the SEC. Alabama football fans know better. Many Alabama football fans dislike Urban Meyer, going back to his six seasons at Florida that produced two BCS National Championships. What Alabama fans fondly remember is Nick Saban's 2009 Alabama Crimson Tide ending Meyer's Gators' Glory with a 32-13 Alabama beatdown in the SEC Championship Game. The game took a mental and physical toll on Meyer.
Alabama and Kalen DeBoer in pole position for 5-star LB back on the market

2 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Braulio Perez

Could the Tide land a new elite prospect soon? At this point, it's really starting to feel like it's only going to be a matter of time before Alabama football grabs the commitment of 5-star linebacker Xavier Griffin. As soon as he and USC parted ways, buzz came in that the Tide were the favorites. Things were only helped out here when Griffin decided to cancel his official visit to Georgia to meet with Kirby Smart at the last second.
Kicking the Tennessee Volunteers out of the SEC is getting serious

2 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

In an offseason like no other, the college sports world appears poised for massive and stunning changes. A few days ago, a suggestion that Greg Sankey should kick Tennessee out of the SEC was more fanciful than practical. While the Vols and their henchmen in the Tennessee State Legislature obviously intend to ignore any sensible constraint on paying players, expulsion from the SEC would surely never happen. It now appears that a threat of expulsion is no longer implausible.
Hugh Freeze is right where Alabama football fans want him

2 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

Like his predecessors, Hugh Freeze is another name on the list of Auburn head coaches Alabama football fans hope will have a long tenure on The Plains. The Aubies are grumbling, which is always a joy for Alabama football fans. Hugh Freeze has set a lofty goal for the Auburn Tigers' 2025 season. Freeze recently said the Tigers must achieve bowl eligibility.
Greg Sankey should kick the Tennessee Volunteers out of the SEC

3 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

With the Tennessee Legislature acting as the 'muscle' for the Tennessee Vols, Greg Sankey must take bold action. An SEC without the Tennessee Vols is exactly what college football needs. Greg Sankey should take bold and extreme action, that if the Tennessee program intends to avoid all efforts of control coming from the expected House settlement, the SEC will show them the door. This is an opinion piece. Others, perhaps many others, will disagree.
Unlike Alabama Football six SEC teams have accomplished nothing in the CFP Era

3 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

Among SEC teams Alabama Football is the leader in team accomplishments in the CFP Era. Six SEC football programs have been shutout of any noteworthy success. Eleven seasons are enough to designate an interval as a College Football Era. In the current one, Alabama Football leads the way with three National Championships in the CFP Era. Using a breakdown provided by CFB Kings, every program's noteworthy accomplishments, going back to the 2014 season, are listed below.
For two Alabama Football opponents the road to the Playoffs runs through Tuscaloosa

3 weeks ago | bamahammer.com | Ronald Evans

Two Alabama Football rivals will likely have Playoff hopes crushed in Tuscaloosa. A reasonable assumption is that the SEC will again have three CFB Playoff teams next season. Many Alabama football fans are confident that the Crimson Tide will be one of the three. Of course, the SEC could get four teams, but if three is the final number, the other contenders will very much need a win over the Crimson Tide. Georgia can get one in Athens.
