Split Zone Duo: College Football Podcast College Football Previews 2025: SEC
Richard and Alex preview the SEC for the 2025 season:
* Texas has everything it needs to make a deep playoff run
* Georgia has a few more questions, especially at QB, but (this will shock you) looks like a frontline contender once again
* Alabama is back, per Richard
* LSU has championship upside, but will the defense be good or great?
* South Carolina has a huge star at QB and another at EDGE. The rest of the roster is more open to interpretation, but one of us is optimistic
* Florida has DJ Lagway, and that counts for a lot
* Ole Miss faces a QB transition, but there’s reason to be optimistic. Will the defense keep chugging after a bunch of losses?
* Texas A&M will run over you and play solid defense. How serious will Marcel Reed and the wide receivers be?
* Tennessee’s best side of the ball probably isn’t offense
* Oklahoma has some elite talent and some splashy portal additions, and Richard thinks this might work out
* Auburn might have the best receivers in the conference and has a bunch of young players that flashed last year. What about the weird QB situation?
* Mizzou is building its roster effectively but has some substantial losses to contend with, and it doesn’t sound like a great QB room
* Vanderbilt will probably move backward, but the ‘Dores have made progress
* Arkansas faces another year of coaching carousel questions
* Kentucky appears to be a bad situation
* Mississippi State is a bit more interesting but faces a long slog
After going through each team, the group awards preseason honors: The Split Zone Duo Dude of the Year, the Low-Key Cool Game of the Year, and the Coach Who’s Not Gonna Be Here Next Year Award. Producer: Anthony Vito.
That wraps up our conference previews
* Big Ten
