Debates Down South: Who's The G.O.A.T. Of SEC Q...
The guys danced around this subject before, so they decided to dig into an all-important debate. Who is the greatest SEC quarterback of all-time? They narrowed the list down to 12 ... and then to 8 ... and then to 6. What did people say about this debate? What's the worst take one can have about this debate? What did we forget until revisiting this? And where do the guys stand? They dug into all of that, and came up with their own opinions on the matter.Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn...

Let's go back to the golden era of Vandy football. The 2013 season was James Franklin's third in Nashville, and it didn't take off until this game against Georgia. Aaron Murray, playing without Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall, struggled to hold off the Commodores in what turned out to be a monumental win for Franklin. The guys ran through all the usual categories to recap a wild day in Nashville.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Yes, we're talking Bama today. It's a debate that many college football fans had during and after the 2017 regular season ended, but the Crimson Tide won the last Playoff spot. Obviously, we know what happened after that (the Sugar Bowl win, 2nd and 26, etc.). Today, however, is strictly devoted to examining the Playoff-worthiness of Alabama and Ohio State in 2017. OK, we've got a little UCF, too.Hosts: Connor O'Gara, Chris MarlerLearn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We've got a classic debate to discuss involving a pair of SEC programs (South Carolina was independent in 1980). It's Herschel Walker vs. George Rogers for the 1980 Heisman Trophy. Ask Georgia fans and they'll tell you it wasn't much of a debate. Herschel didn't even finish second that year, but in his attempt to become the first true freshman winner ever, many felt that age was the lone factor working against him. Was the wrong decision made? And should we remember Rogers differently? The gu...

The guys detailed the craziness that unfolded and looked back at some of the events that followed Elijah Moore's fake dog pee celebration. An instant class game deserved an instant classic podcas...
