SEC Championship

That “pins and needles” feeling for fans of the Crimson Tide may not end with today’s SEC Championship against Georgia at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta. On Sunday, the teams who will compete in the playoff games for a shot at the championship will be announced. The world of college football is also remembering the man who that system going.

After number three ranked Georgia closed an 11-1 regular season with its eighth straight win over Georgia Tech last week, coach Kirby Smart was asked about his senior class dominating its top rivals through four seasons. Smart replied with a reminder that Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee do not form a complete list of the Bulldogs' biggest rivals. Tuscaloosa, for instance.

Ty Simpson and Isaiah Horton connected three times for touchdowns, the last on a fourth-down play in the waning minutes, and No. 10 Alabama escaped Auburn with a 27-20 victory in the rivalry known as the Iron Bowl on Saturday night.

Birmingham's Legacy Arena has been selected by the Southeastern Conference as the host site for the 2025 SEC Gymnastics Championship. The March 22 contest will mark the eighth time that the conference meet will take place in the Magic City.

The Crimson Tide will sit and watch as Texas and Georgia play for the SEC Championship. And, and the Longhorns and Bulldogs got more key players from early signing day. But, Kalen DeBoer got, arguably, the biggest name in the running.

Fans of the Crimson Tide may have every reason to dread Tuesday, and the release of the weekly CFP College Football Playoff rankings following Alabama's away game at Oklahoma.

It would be easy for Texas A&M to overlook slumping Auburn. The Tigers must win their final two games to avoid a fourth straight losing season, but they’re only 2 1/2-point underdogs, according to the BetMGM Sportsbook. The Aggies enter the game among league teams in the mix for the playoffs and the SEC Championship Game.

Alabama is the favorite to win the Southeastern Conference men’s basketball championship, led by preseason player of the year Mark Sears. The Crimson Tide, ranked second in the AP’s preseason Top 25, are coming off the program’s first Final Four run.

Alabama is going to the College Football playoffs. The Crimson Tide jumped from number eight in the rankings to the fourth slot in the upcoming semifinal games. Alabama will play number one ranked Michigan in the Rose Bowl for a chance at the title.

Alabama, Florida State, and Texas are waiting for an answer. One of these three teams will not make the College Football Playoff. Whichever is left out will have every right to be angry, and in the case of two, their absence in the CFP would be unprecedented. Number eight Alabama was the agent of chaos Saturday, upsetting number one Georgia.
