How down bad has Auburn football been? The Tigers have lost eight straight games to rival Georgia and five straight to rival Alabama. They have yet to make the College Football Playoff. And they have to face nemesis Diego Pavia one more time. But Year 3 under Hugh Freeze offers hope in an improved roster and a favorable schedule that brings Georgia and Alabama to the Plains. It's about time for Auburn's long irrational nightmare to end in Jordan-Hare After Dark. Kevin Scarbinsky welcomes Scott Griffin of CBS-42 in Birmingham to break it down.

The Florida baseball coach went on a profane tirade because his NCAA Regional game time got moved back one hour. The Wake Forest coach got caught on camera uttering an ugly slur at a demonstrative Tennessee hitter. Both coaches (and their athletics directors) had to issue formal apologies for their bad behavior. Those were just the latest examples of a college sports world gone mad. Is it crazy to wonder what happened to sportsmanship? Or does that just make you a snowflake?

It wasn't so easy to hurl slings and arrows at SEC football when the league was winning all those national championships. Go two years without one, though, and everyone's lining up to mock the Evil Empire. Commissioner Greg Sankey and company are an easy target right now as the sport tries to figure out a new playoff format. Wherever college football lands, you can be sure of one thing: The SEC will find its way back to the top.

Some people call Nick Saban the GOAT, the greatest college football coach of all time. It's hard to argue with his record of seven national titles, but Saban is becoming an even larger presence in the sport in retirement. As if his presence on ESPN's College GameDay weren't enough of a bully pulpit, he's now reportedly been named co-chair of President Trump's Presidential Commission on College Sports. Saban will need all his powers of persuasion to succeed in what looks like an impossible task.

Welcome to the new SEC, where "It Just Means More" meets "Everything's Bigger in Texas." The Longhorns have become the first SEC school to reach No. 1 in the nation in four of the five major sports - football, women's basketball, baseball and softball - in the same academic year, and they did it in their first year in the league. Scott Griffin of CBS-42 in Birmingham joins Kevin Scarbinsky to break down the UT surge and Alabama's fading dominance in the NFL Draft.

Pat Forde is one of the most recognized and respected voices in sports media. Hear how the senior writer from Sports Illustrated got Heisman winner Travis Hunter into the boat, how he imagined Coach Prime at Auburn, what he thinks about the SEC vs. the Family Iamaleava, why college players getting paid makes fans so angry and, despite what you've heard, Journalism IS NOT DEAD.

A week ago, Nico Iamaleava was the returning quarterback on a Tennessee team coming off a playoff spot. Now he's the poster child for everything that's wrong with college football. That's unfair, but at the moment, through a series of major miscalculations, he's in search of a new school, and Chicken Littles everywhere see the sport's sky falling. We separate the truth from the hysteria with longtime UT insider Jimmy Hyams.

If you love college basketball, Selection Sunday is Christmas morning. The gift is your favorite team's bid to the NCAA Tournament. To compare this year's presents, Scarbo Knows host Kevin Scarbinsky assembled an all-star lineup with Buddy Martin, Franz Beard and Loren Meadows of Gator Bait Media. Phillip Marshall of Auburn Undercover and Rob Browne of SEC Sidelines Sports to debate whether SEC regular-season champion Auburn or SEC Tournament champ Florida was more likely to cut down the final nets at the Final Four.
