An SEC Grab Bag
Here are a few other news items, columns and blogs that involve SEC teams today:Ray Melick of The Birmingham News writes that if Congress keeps poking at the BCS with a stick, college football presidents could vote to dump the system altogether and just go back to the old everybody-to-a-different-bowl scenario. (Wouldn't happen... the BCS brings way too much money to the big conferences for them to just walk away from it.)
Jon Solomon of The Birmingham News writes that either Florida or LSU can lay claim to the title of "SEC athletic program of the decade."
Alabama nose tackle Terrence Cody ranks #19 on The Gainesville Sun's list of the SEC's best players.
Here's yet another write-up on why the SEC's basketball coaches believe their league will improve this season.
Pat Dye and Billy Brewer were among three former football coaches (whose teams landed on probation) who talked to The Sporting News about whether or not the NCAA has given Alabama and Florida State light sentences.
Over at SI.com, Stewart Mandel's mailbag contains the following opinions:
* Florida is "probably better suited to repeat" as national champions than the Matt Leinart/Reggie Bush/Dwayne Jarrett USC Trojans.
* Jevan Snead could be a Heisman darkhorse.
* Gene Chizik and Lane Kiffin have actually benefited from the fact the media has covered their secondary violations.
And at ESPN.com, Chris Low has ranked the SEC's stadiums from 1 to 12 with his three favorites being:
1. LSU
2. Alabama
3. Tennessee
