None of their games are projected to be competitive.

I can’t imagine being a neutral fan and wanting to tune into a Bama game.

Wonder if CBS will continue its streak of broadcasting the Bama LSU game as their only night game of the year

I want to say they may have committed to that LSU game already.

A&M could be the only team keeping us from snoring through all of October. If they can't keep games vs AU and bama close there are going to be no SEC games worth watching. UGA plays nobody. LSU seems incapable of quicky fixing their issues.

I figured before the year started that we’d have a night game Iron Bowl....but they may not get to 5. CBS has to decide what a better draw is. Bama blow outs or two $hi&&y teams going at it? AU/UGA is easily the second best matchup left for them, after the Iron bowl.

This can all change in a week or two, but it's kind of stunning to me that the SEC looks like it has potentially 2-4 teams that have any chance of playing good games vs each other and making anything interesting. It's possible still that it's just 2 and bama/UGA crush everyone and nobody else looks better than mediocre and those 2 rack up a bunch of 30 point wins still they meet in ATL.

Also weird that stopping this seems to come down to Gus and Kevin Sumlin.

Going into this season I slotted them at 13/14 in coaches from the SEC I’d want on my sideline....
 
They had very low ratings for the Bama Vandy game... whomever thought that was great idea show be fired.

That was throwing Vandy a bone as an undefeated team playing a Top team. Don’t have many opportunities to do that. Also, they probably expected the normal SEC 3:30 viewership with a little added from Nashville.
 
not many watchable college games these days. Last 5 mins of a close ball game is about all I can stand. NFL hasn't been much better I guess.
 
Football is dead now. Need to start picking out TV shows to enjoy because that is life from this point
I don’t enjoy watching sports that much anymore unless it’s a team I actively root for. Pretty much only watch Boog games and arsenal games and golf majors
 
United a pretty set to be dominant for a long time. Lukaku, Rashford, Martial, Pogba, Bailey, and De Gea are all superstuds and young. Pretty jealous
Been a fan since the early nineties. Giggs, Scholes, Keane are right up there as my favs of all-time.
 
I probably would have put Butch and Ogre below them. Those dudes are clowns too.

I agree with half of that. I’d have Orge at 14 NOW for sure. I just had to give him another chance with a lot of talent. Doesn’t matter, he sux. FTR, Butch may still help the UT band in the long run so I’m not ready to say he’s worse than Gus.
