Dominance was the root of SEC ascension. It's a source of pride. The SEC hasn’t placed a team in the national-championship game for two straight years; that needs to change. tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
The SEC is loaded with quarterbacks, but ranking them is not all that easy, says Berry Tramel. tulsaworld.com/sports/college…

Kentucky seems tired of Stoops, and Stoops seems tired of Kentucky, but that doesn’t mean they should split tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
Pittman is one game under .500 after five seasons, but that’s better than what the Razorbacks had been accustomed to for a decade tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
My note the other day about the possibility of the SEC playing in Dublin, Ireland (not likely), drew a great response. tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
Mayfield had little hype when he became the OU starting QB, but that’s not the case with Mateer tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
The eventual departure of Joe Castiglione, and my reporting that the mesh between Joe C. and OU president Joe Harroz wasn’t great, has some fans going for a quick fix. tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
Saban, who coached Alabama to six national championships from 2009-20, retired after the 2023 season. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin said Monday that he thought Saban might even be back this season. tulsaworld.com/sports/college…
