Here are some tidbits and hot items from across the SEC landscape on this Thursday morning:

2008 has been The Year of The Interception in the Southeastern Conference.  There were 17 picks returned for touchdowns all last season by SEC teams (that includes bowl games).  Already, there have been 19 by SEC defensive backs. 

So, does that tell you that the SEC’s DBs are top notch?  Or does it have more to do with some ratty quarterback play in the league this year?  In my view, the corners and safeties are good, but I can’t ever remember a worse year for QBs in the SEC.  I’ll put it on bad signal-callers.



We mentioned this on the site last week, but here’s some more detail on how this year’s troubled economy might wipe out a few of the bowls from December’s overcrowded line-up in the future.



And Tony Barnhart of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has some questions heading into this weekend’s action:

1)  Did anyone see the Will Muschamp thing coming at Texas?  (Muschamp, of course, played at Georgia and has coached at both Auburn and LSU.)

2)  What is the over/under on points for Florida versus The Citadel.

3)  Does Ole Miss have a shot at LSU?  (Absolutely.  Did anyone see LSU’s game with Troy last week?)
