Week 7 opens with Lane Kiffin suing his own conference (again), refs stealing from Tuscaloosa, and a recruit publicly torching Arkansas on the way out the door
The SEC-LSU lawsuit just sprouted a basketball branch, Bama fans have found a new ref to blame, Steve Sarkisian named his quarterback Joe Smith, and Arkansas recruits are decommitting with prepared statements.
The SEC spent this week publicly admitting its refs blew a drop-kick onside call that almost cost Texas the game, while Lane Kiffin blamed a nine-game schedule for injuries sustained in... two conference games. It's only October.
Texas barely survived Neyland behind a DE who literally pretended to urinate on the field. Meanwhile Marcel Reed got doxxed, then got smoked in Death Valley. Lane Kiffin collected his first SEC W and a federal court motion simultaneously.
Lane Kiffin lost to Ole Miss and immediately went Full Feelings. Alabama's OC called out his own fans, then apologized to his own fans, within a single Monday news cycle. And College GameDay is on its fourth straight SEC campus like it needs a permission slip to leave.
Lane Kiffin walked back into Oxford and immediately lost. Texas A&M dropped a 16.5-point home game to unranked Kentucky. Oklahoma survived New Mexico 14-6 while its own student section chanted 'Fire Arbuckle.' Week 3 delivered everything.
Arch Manning spent the week apologizing for finding a deepfake of his coach slapping a reporter 'hilarious,' while Lane Kiffin prepared to stroll back into Oxford wearing LSU purple like the world's most self-aware antagonist.
The SEC survived its own civil war with LSU, Arch Manning saved the Longhorns and maybe Steve Sarkisian's dignity, and Alabama spent a half reminding everyone that entropy is real. Normal stuff.
Lane Kiffin went up 31-3 on Clemson, strolled back to the mic, and said 'Imagine if we had pro players.' The SEC did not find this funny. The SEC put it in a federal lawsuit. This is where we are now.
The SEC unanimously banned ex-NFL players from returning to college football, a Louisiana judge immediately told the SEC where to stick that ban, and Lane Kiffin is standing in Baton Rouge with a grin the size of Tiger Stadium. Oh, and Tennessee just handed the keys to an 18-year-old.
Missouri's best player got shot at a concert and still can't practice. Alabama's starting center came from D2 and their OC says he 'looks like a retired surfer.' The SEC preseason chaos is fully cooked.
Jayden Daniels has lawyered up against his alma mater over a jersey number, LSU fans have officially moved on, and Kirby Smart is publicly humiliating his own staff. August is never boring in the SEC.
Jayden Daniels sent a cease-and-desist to LSU over a jersey number, Alabama's QB competition is apparently a stock market metaphor, and Tennessee lost two defenders to season-ending injuries before anyone played a real game.
Lane Kiffin went on national television Tuesday and basically told Ole Miss fans they are low-maintenance livestock. Meanwhile, the rest of the SEC is busy coping through a three-year Big Ten title drought with the energy of a fan base that insists moral victories count.
