Nick Saban went 129-5 straight up as a favorite of 13+ points at Alabama.

Which returning SEC QBs were the most efficient in 2024?
Our @SpenserDavisSR created a new stat called dead-end throw rate (DETR) to help measure QB efficiency: saturdaydownsouth.com/news/college-f…

@SteveThunderfan Chet gets 24 solo, iHart gets 18 solo and then they play 6 together. That gets them to roughly their averages from last season.
I could definitely be wrong about this, but I think we're going to find that they're more effective separate than together (in most matchups).
English
@SpenserDavisSR I kinda think it has to beat least 10ish or iHart gets pretty limited to like 20ish minutes.
English
Chet-iHart is gonna work, but I think it'll work BEST with Shai&Dub both there to juice the O. Then Shai&Dub alone can have lineups entirely spaced (ont big). Therefore, I'm changing my preferred starters to Twin Towers.
Doens't change how much I think they'll play that pair.
English
@SteveThunderfan For me, it depends on how many minutes of overlap between Chet/iHart is optimal on an average night. If it's 10+, then I'd be fine with starting both. My guess is that the number will end up being closer to 4-6. In that case I'd rather start Caruso & let iHart play vs. backup 5s.
English
@SpenserDavisSR That’s even part of the reason I want to get the double big stuff out of the way tho. Then Chet is playing backup 5s and then closing as the only big (unless double big is just working awesome out necessary or whatever for closing)

Surreal moment for me and @SatDownSouth.
Rece just cited my stat on @CollegeGameDay about South Carolina playing as an unranked team for the 111th time in its last 114 games with all 3 being losses.

Will almost definitely be picking Tennessee to make the Final Four
Ethan Stone@Ethanstone23
Tennessee basketball lost 5 straight away games to end SEC play in 2023. A few without Zakai, to be fair. The 2024 Vols have won 4 away games in a row and boast road victories over Alabama, South Carolina, Kentucky and Wisconsin. Impossible to overstate how impressive that is.

I’ve been obsessed with CFB for decades. My NFL interest has waned over the years. I still watch just as much CFB, but this year is different w/ respect to the NFL.
I am FULLY dialed in, and there’s one reason why 🧵👇

@tylrparkr Target audience reached with the Eric Coley reference.
Other honorable mentions: Mazzio's, Philbrook and Falls Creek.
English
Coley with a cool 16, 16, 4, 4, and 4 line against Cincinnati in the 2nd Round of the 2000 NCAA Tournament. Bill Self’s Tulsa Golden Hurricanes make their way to the Sweet Sixteen. Eufaula! Stand up! youtu.be/aANZeFcXt8Y

Fwiw my vote is a three-way tie between Eric Coley, KXOJ, and Jailbirds.
Jesse Pound@jesserpound
Trying to determine the most Oklahoma reference in @tylrparkr 's book. Top contenders: -An ex-con concerned about OU football's secondary -A convenience store worker with a Mookie Blaylock tattoo -A Mathis Furniture commercial playing on a TV in a christian-branded pizza joint
