All SEC Football

The NCAA Division I FBS Oversight Committee has approved changes to the targeting penalty structure for the 2026 season, per @PeteNakos. 🔹A player who is ejected for targeting will be able to play in the next game 🔹If a player is ejected for a second targeting penalty, they'll miss the first half of the next game 🔹If a player is ejected for a third targeting penalty, it'll result in a one-game suspension. The NCAA has also announced that offensive pass interference will now carry a 10‑yard penalty instead of 15.

Will Stein states that Kentucky doesn’t have a depth chart during spring practice. “We have a blue and white squad that inter‑twinned. There’s not a ones, twos, threes at all… In football, you’re going to play multiple guys in the season, so the last thing I want is in Week 6 of the season and we got a new person at a position that’s never done it before.” (🎥 @Cats_Coverage) | #BBN

Texas is still pushing for No. 1 overall recruit and Ohio State commit EDGE DJ Jacobs, per @JScruggs247. “It's just a great place to be. I really liked it up there. It was awesome. They got F1 up there too, they do F1 in Austin. I love F1.” #HookEm

Eli Drinkwitz believes college football may be trending toward an MLB‑style model because of growing disparities in spending. “If you're going to have teams that have $45M rosters competing against teams that have $15M and $20M rosters, you're going to run the risk of turning into Major League Baseball, where you have the LA Dodgers and the Florida Marlins. And that's a professional league that's not growing, that's struggling in their TV deals.” (H/T @On3)

Predicting how far the Hogs will advance in the first weekend of @MarchMadnessMBB. Will the Razorbacks reach the Sweet 16 for the fifth time in six seasons? Here’s my take ➡️ si.com/college/arkans…

I’m not one to ever brag on myself, but it is really cool to have a couple of shoutouts from On SI corporate for a few pieces of content this week My “Ultimate Guide to the Hogs First Round in Portland” story earned high praise. So, I’m going to share it again here ➡️ si.com/college/arkans…

Dari Nowkhah on if the Bedlam series should return: “I don't think OU fans miss it.. I love Bedlam, to be honest, but playing these programs in the SEC every year, I don't know if it's necessary to bring it back.” Thoughts? (🎥 @MichaelWBratton)

Ryan Silverfield is challenging wide receivers Courtney Crutchfield and Antonio Jordan to raise their level of play in the 2026 season. On Crutchfield: “Courtney’s got to make strides in the right direction… We’re going to continue to lean on [Crutchfield] to step up and make plays… and he’s going to have to battle his tail off.” On Jordan: “AJ has a huge, huge ceiling… He’s a high hipped young man who is physical… We have high expectations for him as well.” (H/T @jacobdaviscfb) | #WPS
