In the SEC this season, it just means more losses, more parity, fewer elite teams and a struggle to qualify teams for the College Football Playoff.

Ole Miss got swallowed up in The Swamp. Alabama suffered malice at The Palace.

Kalen DeBoer and Lane Kiffin each possessed enough talent to field a playoff team, so why are they left needing more chaos to serve them up bids to their underachieving, three-loss teams?

On today’s episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams debate who endured a bigger faceplant this season, DeBoer or Kiffin?

They also assess this glob of five SEC teams that are 8-3 and try to identify whether a playoff contender lurks within that bunch.

Plus, Week 14 picks against the spread, as rivalry week takes hold!
