At the end of the day, it will all get settled on the field. There’s absolutely no doubt the SEC is MUCH deeper than the Big 12… it will be a gauntlet for sure! Every game will be hard fought… depth will be a HUGE factor come November. As a Longhorn, I’m looking forward to being measured against the best of the best - and living on the East Coast, attending some of the games! Cousin Shane is right… in the SEC, EVERY Saturday counts - there are no off weeks (except historically Vandy - apologies to Commodores)… and on any given Saturday, if you blink, someone in the SEC who wasn’t expected to win a game, wins the game. The SEC is the BEST conference… and all us Texas fans are grateful and excited to be a part of it… Let’s get the season going!!!

My top two Vol Fans: 1T. Mizzou Mike (0.5) 1T. Cousin Shane (0.5) I mean it's a super short list, but these guys are a-ok in my book. MIZ!

Beck sat out so many 4th quarters and still had almost 4000 yards, he will be a top five pick!

Finally someone properly ranks QBs. EA Sports should take a lesson on rankings.

MIZ! MIZ MIKE & COUSIN SHANE-O-MIZ! COOK IS DA MAN! The best QB in the country!

Great show! I love these guys!

3 or more SEC QB's are going to New York. 1 or more non-QB from SEC going with them. I like Cook for one of top-3 Spots Gonna be a crazy year. Conference is DEEP af

I can appreciate the honesty and down to earth takes from you guys. Thank you!

The future of the SEC is loaded at the QB position. I can't wait to see Nico, Arnold, Manning, and so on playing each other.

Texas had a few razor close wins last year. Not sure they get those breaks this year. Who knows though. Health and bounce of the ball will be a big factor

Best list I’ve seen, good shit Shane

Nice take ! I enjoyed the show !

If you are going to drink all day, you have to start early.

Pro tip: keep the y-axis of the returning production charts the same. Hard to visually see differences team to team.

Very informative, a great rundown on the quarterbacks on our new conference. I hope you will continue with other positions. And if you have any information on how to redirect a hurricane, it would be much appreciated.

Good for them for giving brady cook some love. He was super underrated last year

Boy he killed that Nico Translation😂😂

BRADY COOK: -3rd in SEC ret qbs 66% cmp% -Set the SEC mark for most att without an INT -3rd in SEC 3317yds -4th in SEC 9.4ypa -4th in SEC 21 tds -3rd in SEC 6 ints (That's better than 3:1) -157 rating -3rd in SEC 319 ru/yds (It's well over 500yds w/o sacks) -3rd in SEC 8 ru/tds That's 29 total tds on the year. 1st year in a new system, 1st yr w/Boundary wr Wease, 1st yr w/FR Phenom Marquis Johnson. Every WR coming back. Better Oline. 2 top RB trans. 3 4-star RBs behind them. He was sacked the 5th most in the SEC 26 times. That'll go down by at least 7, maybe 10. He also played most of the season with an ankle brace on b/c he sprained his ankle bad in the 2nd gm of the season, & wasn't running again until gm 7 against KY. He's poised in the pocket, led 4 game winning drives in the 4th qtr last year. Best QB in the SEC!

Mike you’re still saying Nico’s last name wrong 😂 it’s… E-uh-ma-lay-Ah-vuh GBO! 🍊

Let Brady Cook! MIZ!

Let's completely forget about K-State almost beating Mizzou at home when we talk about SEC strength.

Miz baby. Mike you and shane need to come to a mizzou game.

I love Mizzou getting recognition, but I'm starting to get nervous that Mizzou will Mizzou and let me down.

Start off with a couple of John Daly's then the beer.

Carson Beck is easily the best QB in the SEC and the nation. I love you guys, but that take is going to burn you guys so bad. Beck will be the #1 overall pick guys…

I think you're gonna be wrong about Jackson Arnold because the OU receiving room is VERY good. Keep in mind JA is good enough that OU felt find pushing Dillon Gabriel out the door. By the way, when was the last time a Bill Bedenbaugh OL bad?

I think the Vols and the Ags are going to be the surprise teams of the year in the SEC. Yes. Both will make the playoffs. Repeat of the CWS. 🔥‼️

Thanks for coming to Norman. You have a new fan

Thanks!

You guys are awesome. Always funny and insightful. Can't wait for this season!!

I enjoy watching and listening to you guys, my top 3 shows in this order that SEC football podcast, on3 and Josh pate. I like how yall put dart ahead of Bennett, that game should be more interesting this year.

What Oklahoma and Texas fans (speaking as a Mizzou fan) will have to realize is that everyone has talent. OU thinks it can just roll through teams like Mizzou not realizing that in the Big XII Mizzou never had a higher recruiting rank than say 36. The talent gap has closed. Like everyteam has talent not just those at the very top. Like, right now, Mizzou has a top 15 recruting class right now, and they're still like #8 in the SEC. Also if Nussmeiyer is 8 and Atnold is 10. Nico shoulf be in that same boat because of youth and inexperience. Like those 3 guys should be 8-10 with potential to move up. Id put Weigman higher just because he has starting experience, not his fault he got hurt last year.

Ewers at four is crazy. Overrated

11:02 I was arguing with a family member that Texas and Oklahoma are good against the SEC historically. And I'm the kind of nerd that will make a spreadsheet to prove someone wrong or myself right. Lol. Once I made my point to my actual cousin, I thought the That SEC Pod cousins might find the data interesting. I'm glad it was helpful. Mike made it look a lot better than I did. Mike's graphics are always on point. Great show as always, y'all. Go Gators.

Boomer Sooner! Don't know sh*t yet but if there are 9 QBs better than Jackson Arnold in the SEC, this will be 🔥🔥🔥

Love these guys. Fun and open minded.

It’s gonna be fun guys and it is getting close.

Hey Mike those coordinaters were really bad for Auburn so that’s why freeze fired them and got good ones

Some SERIOUS sleeping on Garrett Nussmeier for LSU - the guy will finish in the top 4 for sure.

Who has the best offensive line wins.

Another great show Thanks fellas !!

I’ve loved Mizzou Football since the 70’s as a grade schooler and while the Block M is classic for us Michigan really has that locked up nation wide. I remember going to Lids and other Hat stores and seeing all the Mich Block M hats and merch and being so happy if I found one Mizzou B&G block M hat. At least the oval tiger has become a brand. And we all owe GP a debt of gratitude for building the foundation Mizzou stands on. And GP put out some solid defenses as well under his regime.

Thanks Cousin Shane for your opinion on Conner Weigman deserving a low rating. Jimbo’s offensive line should have been rated worst on the country!! Aggie QBs get hit more than a professional boxer in a 15 round fight. Season-ending QB injuries were expected with Jimbo’s 1967 offense…We finished the ‘21 season with our 2nd string QB (Zach Calzada started final 10 games): the ‘22 season with 3rd string QB (Weigman started last 7 games) and the ‘23 season with 4th string QB (Marcel Reid had to finish up the Bowl game after 3rd string QB Jaylen Henderson broke his arm on the first play). I’d prefer you ranked Weigman #16 even though he has a new Head Coach and new OL coach. I understand OL coach Bateman reminds his offensive line EVERY DAY just how bad their reputation is amongst Aggie fans for protecting the QB AND piss poor passing and rushing numbers. I also hear that Strength and Conditioning coach Tommy Moffitt is kicking the O-line’s ass in the Weight room also. If that O-line can raise their standard and Weigman can avoid injury this season, he might be good enough to move up to #15 in the SEC before the end of the season. Aggie fans are happy that A&M has 12 QBs on the roster this season….just in case😊.

Couldn't agree more. Great list fellas

They have a bunch of good QBs. Nuss will throw for 30+tds and be in the top 5 of this list by year ends.

Mizzou Mike for the win!!! God love you if no one else will. Come to any Mizzou game this season and drinks are on me, Mike!

Curious why you have Nico so much higher than Arnold basically the same player very similar team. Thanks

All of you SEC fans will learn what us OU fans have always known… Texas ain’t shit, they suck. This happens every few years, they win a game or two and all of the sudden they hung the moon.

When is this SEC going to extend an invite to my Army-Black Knights to join? We could help the GPA

WHAT DID OLE MISS & DART DO AGAINST THE DAWGS LAST YEAR

WHAT DID THE DAWGS DO AT TENNESSEE

As a Mizzou fan, I was expecting to complain about Cook being ranked too low. I was certainly surprised. I have trouble saying he's the best in the SEC, but I sure hope you're right about the kind of year Cook is going to have. He doesn't have the top-level NFL arm talent, but he's a tough and smart leader, and that can get you pretty far at the college level.

I love auburn. I think it’s a sleeper team this year. They are killing it in the transfer portal and auburn is really doing something special over there

Hotty Toddy 🔵🔴🦈

“Conner weigman can’t stay healthy” he’s literally been hurt once

I wish Payton Thorne would change his number to 14.

Why does a player have to qualify academically when most players are only taking a minimum number of on line courses.

Hugh will escort Auburn to the playoffs

Mike you may be wrong if you'll remember Levis won 10 games his 1st yr at Kentucky and dropped to 7 win's his 2nd yr

I’m totally fine with folks having opinions. But there has to be logic to base opinions. You dock Beck because he got “out dueled” by Milroe (which actually didn’t happen. Beck had more yards, better completion %, and a better QBR than Milroe in the SECCG…but Bama did win so give him credit) and discredit Beck for “struggling” in the SECCG (which again wasn’t exactly the case….but again Bama won the game). Regardless, that was 1 game out of 14 in his first year as a starter. Beck also out played and beat both your QBs you have ranked ahead of him. Why not give him credit for that instead of docking him for their 1 loss? I mean, you have Nico ranked just outside of the top 5 based off of 1 start and a ton of hype cause he’s yet to even play 1 SEC game much less a full season. Your logic is just flawed with these rankings. I have absolutely no issues where you want to rank Beck. Rank him last if you want. Doesn’t matter. But at the very least have some logic and consistency with your criteria.

Can’t wait to see Jackson Arnold

There is no way this channel only has 21k subs. Subscribe people. As a Sooners fan, we love sports talk. Hit the button. P.S. Oklahoma fans expect to win 10 plus games just as much as Bama, LSU, Georgia, and the rest. This year will be tough, but make no mistake, Sooner fans will not be ok with going 7-5, 8-4 every year.

Guys the 2 best WRs in the SEC are Trey Harris and Bru McCoy. Vandergriff has never started a college game.

As a Mizzou fan, why do you guys want people to hate us?

RE: Ewers … year 3 is when QBs have historically had their best year in Sark’s offense

Yeah I am afraid I have to unsubscribe based on this list. Sorry.

1. NUSS 2. Ewers 3. Milroe 4. Beck 5. Dart

Becks numbers are inflated by a cupcake schedule,the teams these quarterbacks played should come into the picture also

Ole Miss demands 10

Same with Texas!

Arkansas fans were so excited last year too. Green was not great at Boise so there is no way he is going to be great in sec.

Yall are WILDLY DELUSIONAL for having Cook at #1 and Dart at #2

You have got to be high to put Cook and Dart over Beck and Milroe. Carson Beck threw for more yards than anyone else in the SEC last year, more than Jayden Daniels. He had the second-best QBR in the league. You say that's because of Bowers, but Bowers had his least productive season last year due to injury. You know who had the third-best QBR, Jalen Milroe. Do you think Cook and Dart are going to somehow leap those two this year? You also don't seem to acknowledge the impact Cody Schrader had on Cook's numbers. Take Schrader out of Missouri's offense last year and every single defense is going to play a more pass-slanted scheme. You are low on Beck because of his performance in the Alabama game? How did Dart do against Georgia last year? He went 10-17 for 112 yards and 1 int. Not exactly Heisman numbers there Mike.

Shapen will exceed expectations

Shane looks like he's lost some LBs. Let's go Shane!

#1 Video Game #2 Player payed /right #3 playoffs (12 teams ) #4 Texas And Oklahoma

Ummm Respect will be Earned!

I think the question isn’t really how ready for the SEC are the Sooners and Whornes rather how good is the Big 12 relative to SEC teams. I would argue that it’s a lot closer than many realize. Virtually any team in the SEC on any given year can and would have great difficulty at Okie Lite, Texas Tech, Kansas, Kansas State etc. No, the Big 12 is not as good overall but they usually have at least 4-6 teams that go to bowl games and beat all comers. OU has a tradition of winning and championships unmatched by any SEC teams except Bama. I truly believe that if you look deeply into college football history you Will find that that top 5 blue blood programs consist of in no particular order Alabama, Oklahoma, Ohio st, Notre Dame, and USC. Texas, Nebraska, Michigan (yes Michigan), maybe Penn St, and Fla St make up the next tier and everyone else kinda falls in line in graduating scale. Make no bones about it. OU and as much as I hate to say it…..Texass have legitimate reasons why they will (possibly) instantly fit into the top echelon of the conference. I do feel as if there will be down years more often than in the Big 12 but I also feel as if both OU and Tex will win championships soon. Evidence lies within recruiting stats. OU has done nothing but improve their recruiting since announcing entry into the SEC. Many players that would never given the Sooners look are now simply due to conference realignment. I may be wrong but I don’t think so.

Conner Weigman is one of 6 QBs to be injured in 2 seasons at A&M under Jimbo and it's his fault? In the games he played he was incredible despite the OL running a 20 year old scheme that gets dudes murdered. I think he was 3rd in the nation by QBR before he was hurt. Highest ceiling in the SEC, especially if Klein can make that OL not dysfunctional.

The G5 teams are in must win games every week if they want to make the playoffs unless they played a great P5 school and took an L.

Let him COOK #MIZ #ZOU

So y’all have G Nussmeier 8th best in the SEC but he’s 8th in Heisman odds . Y’all killin me

Shapen never lost his job at Baylor..

LOL @ Beck at 3. When he is ripping defenses a new one left and right... we'll see. You really think Brady Cook is a better QB? Holy crap dude. Dart is good but the Dawgs made him look pedestrian in the game last year. And he is injury prone. He runs too often and doesn't protect himself. To be a good QB you have to be AVAILABLE. Still laughing. And you'll be red faced by mid season. Just damn...

No doubt MSU is gonna score on people

Quinn Ewers is overrated.

Sec sec sec !!!!

God I love you guys #miz

Again the mizzou love is too much. Brady Cook is a good QB. Not elite. Hes more than likely gonna finished around 3 or 4th in SEC. I would love to be wrong though as a Mizzou fan.

this is a fairly crazy list

*angry cowbell noises*

So basically you said you know nothing about Mississippi State roster or team!! Ok then

The original big 12 was just like the sec is now the big 12 went down hill after Nebraska and Texas am left the conference

Wow I guess Mizzou is as good as the 2003 Trojans, the 85 Sooners and the 05 short horns. Can’t wait for the season to start to find out! BOOMER!

They will not become the new Ga or Al that is fucking crazy. Shits hard earned

Someone please tell mike that Mississippi states first conference game is Florida at home 😂

Carson played nearly half the season without his top 2 targets go feed the bullshit to somebody else

SEC chanters crack me up; especially the Aggies, whose biggest rival was Texas Tech in the B12.

I was watching an old KZfaq game from 1994 and it was SC at LSU. Carolina won on the road at LSU then went home the next week and lost at home to East Carolina. The SEC has always had top level talent on every team. SC had future NFL stars on the field that day but they lack depth. It seems to me the real difference between champions and mid tier teams is depth and obviously coaching. There are teams that have a pretty darn good starting 22 but there’s no margin of error when injuries start piling up. Coaching is huge now and will be increasingly important in the era of the portal.

M to the I to the mother f’ing Z!!!! Let’s goooooo!!!!!!!!
