You’ve heard of hot takes. You’re probably familiar with cold takes.

But, do you know of lukewarm takes?

They might be the truest predictions of all, and hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams are serving a helping of those lukewarm SEC football takes on today’s episode.

What constitutes a lukewarm take? It’s an against-the-grain prediction that doesn’t rise to the piping-hot level of a hot take.

A surprise SEC team will be ranked come October? Yep. We’ve got an idea about which one.

How many coaches will be fired? Several. More than the number who are on the hot seat right now.

A sleeper in the Heisman Trophy race? Certainly. Call your bookie with this bet.

Also, are Missouri and Ole Miss actually playoff teams? Thoughts on that, too.

Later in the episode, an examination of ESPN’s Football Power Index and some peculiarities within the teams it projects to be top playoff contenders.
