The College Football Hall of Fame ballot includes former Alabama Crimson Tide great Mark Ingram and former Auburn Tigers great Cam Newton. Are the Alabama Football and Auburn Football greats first ballot guys?

Dennis Franchione and Tommy Tuberville are also on the ballot, are they Hall Worthy?

A new wave of college football coaches are in the game, is there a lack of experience of being number one in college football right now?

ESPN has released their first Football Power Index and it loves the SEC. The FPI has The Texas Longhorns, The Georgia Bulldogs and the Alabama Crimson Tide in the top four. The Ohio State Buckeyes, at three, round out the SEC heavy top four. We will discuss what the FPI says about Alabama Football, Georgia Football and Texas Football.

The Auburn Tigers are 14th in that same ranking with a projected win total of 7.6. That brings back the same offseason discussion: how many wins does Auburn Football coach Hugh Freeze need to remain in good graces at Auburn?

What does the SEC and the Big Ten really owe the rest of college football?

Can you allegedly slap a player, choke a player and still go in that school’s hall of fame?

Our Champions Boxing 40-in-40 team today: The Indiana Hoosiers. Indiana Football captured College Football Playoff magic last season, can they do the same in 2025?

Four SEC Baseball teams survive the regionals a move to the Super Regionals: The Auburn Tigers, The LSU Tigers, The Arkansas Razorbacks and The Tennessee Volunteers. Even though Auburn Baseball, LSU Baseball, Arkansas Baseball and Tennessee Baseball advance, was this embarrassing for the SEC?

Is there a scenario in which the Detroit Lions miss the NFL Playoffs this year?
