Long and Suite Preview: The SEC

Thanks to great recruiting by coach Hugh Freeze, Ole Miss suddenly boasts stars like receiver Laquon Treadwell. Can the Rebels contend in the loaded SEC West?

There are rumblings that the era of the SEC may be ending, but I wouldn't bet against the conference that has dominated college football for the past decade plus quite yet.

With the two Alabama powers and South Carolina chasing a national title, and the potential emergence of, gulp, Ole Miss, the SEC should have an exciting, if not traditionally dominant season. Replacing a boat load of quarterback talent will be the top priority conference wide, but the defense, and most importantly, speed are still there for some good ole fashioned SEC footbaw!

The brawl infused thriller in Ann Arbor gave way to one of the greatest finishes in college football history, as Auburn defeated Alabama by returning a last-second Crimson Tide field goal attempt the length of the field for a winning score.
