Tackle this: If the final margins are similar, should Texas get less credit for beating 6-3 LSU than Alabama gets for beating 6-2 LSU? And if Texas beats LSU, should Tennessee then get less credit for beating 6-4 LSU than Texas gets for beating 6-3 LSU? 🤔

Alabama’s last two opponents: Texas A&M and LSU. Tennessee’s NEXT two opponents? Texas A&M and LSU. Same teams. Same order. If Tennessee wins both games, surely the Vols will finally be in the “same pod” as Alabama, right? 🤔

Watch this Committee put Alabama & Texas in the Top 4 tomorrow night

Kalen DeBoer said Keelon Russell is day-to-day with his ankle injury, and they would have confidence if they "needed to move to Austin [Mack] at some point." DeBoer said he expects Russell to do "everything he can" to play against Vanderbilt.

TN is a whole lot better than Bama and proved it on the field. It was a blowout and not even as close as the score. Lost to another Top 10 team by 3 with an injured QB. Beat themselves in another Top 25 game and lost by 3. There is a clear gap between these toes teams.

Josh Ford told the medical staff, “No matter what, I’m walking off this football field.” THAT is heart. THAT is leadership. THAT is team captain material. THAT man has played for Alabama for only one season and he gets it. Josh Ford has Writ’ his name in Crimson Flame!

NEW: Updated ESPN FPI after week 10 of the College Football season📈📉 on3.com/news/college-footbal…

I'm about to go on an uncomfortable rant about @LSUfootball and @Lane_Kiffin, and I really don't give a shit. LSU is one of the top schools in college football and spends the most money on building its roster and resources. They had the number one portal class in America and paid Lane Kiffin 90 million dollars. I'm sick of the "give him time" bullshit. I'm sick of celebrities walking the tiger walk like it's a fucking parade and Mardi Gras. Lane, you can make people feel good about the optics, but that shit never fooled me. You can’t recruit in-state because these kids think you’re a snake and it needs to change. It's always been about winning games REMEMBER THAT. From the "let them" gimmick on social media to the whole "Ole Miss playoff" shenanigans and "recruiting pro players to LSU," you need to grow the fuck up. Real talk. Decide if you want to be a coach or a professional troll, but do it quick because they won't keep being patient with you. These fans will hate me for saying this, and I could give a rat's ass. I poured my blood and sweat into that university and brought a national championship back to Baton Rouge. Their opinions don't matter to me. We pay you 90 million and give you over 40 million to build the best roster in America, yet Pete Goulding has more meaningful wins as head coach at Ole Miss than you. I hope this makes you uncomfortable when you read it, because it should. Nobody in that facility will call you out on your bullshit, but I will. Cut the Mardi Gras gimmick, hot yoga, and content creating show. When Alabama dominates the living hell out of you on your home turf as a touchdown underdog, some nasty conversations need to happen. This isn't Bowling Green or UTEP. You don't get time to build a culture. I'm sick of hearing more about Lane Kiffin's off-field shenanigans than winning games that matter. Hate me all you want for what I say, but this is who I am and always was. Ask anybody about me in that building, Lane. They'll tell you. Get this fucking shit fixed. Forever LSU.

NEW: Illinois' Bret Bielema after beating Nebraska: "But to be in this job, where we’re at right now, 6-3, we beat another 5-3 team. If we were in the SEC, we’d probably be a top-15 team." (via @IllinoisRivals) on3.com/news/bret-bielema-af…
