SEC Teams in the Preseason AP Top 25 Poll, Hugh Freeze Said What About Nick Saban?, Gators Lose a D-lineman

On today's show, we start with the AP Top 25 Preseason Poll getting released as we run through the SEC teams ranked in the poll including #1 overall Georgia, who got 46 first-place votes as Kirby Smart and the Dawgs are the consensus favorite to win it all. Also in the top ten, we see Texas, Alabama, and Ole Miss, with Mizzou, LSU, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M rounding out the group.

We also run through ESPN's FPI predictions of "ceiling" and "floor" for win totals for those SEC teams, and who the ESPN writers pin as each teams' early season toughest matchup. It seems like the FPI is all over the place when it comes to teams like LSU and Texas A&M, where they could be potential CFB Playoff teams or completely miss a bowl game.

And we bring you audio of Hugh Freeze who sat down with Marty Smith and Ryan McGee and made headlines saying that he SHOULD have four wins vs Nick Saban. Obviously Freeze beat Saban twice when he was at Ole Miss, but Freeze claims he should've had at least two more wins. Hard to argue with the game they blew last year.

And another SEC player is lost for the season as the Florida Gators lose some defensive line depth as Jamari Lyons broke his ankle and will miss the 2024 season at Florida. While Lyons was expected to be a rotational piece for the Gators, it just makes them a little thinner on the interior of that d-line.
