"I'm the guy who screwed up college football." Oklahoma and Texas join the SEC today. And everything - realignment, the fact nobody is in charge of college football - ties back to one case. When Georgia and Oklahoma sued the NCAA and changed everything:

Georgia's press session Monday: Addressing two not-great viral moments, and Kirby Smart getting a question about whether he's considered a quarterback change. Humility was a week away, and it's here. But redemption is also a week away:

This week's SEC vibes rankings: Hotty Toddy and Cock Commanders at the top. LSU and Brian Kelly ... not so much. The vibes:

So there is a plausible scenario where the SEC has an eight-way tie for first place. That, and why who makes the SEC championship game means more than it seemed a bit ago:

Georgia has played the kind of schedule that can magnify flaws. And boy have those flaws been magnified. What's not right, how some of it can be fixed, and why Kirby Smart is right when he says "our future's in front of us."

The scene at Ole Miss as the goal posts came down, and the psyche of the program went way, way up.

Ole Miss breaks through to boost Playoff hopes. What does loss mean for Georgia?

Kirby Smart says RB Trevor Etienne (ribs) is in a black non-contact jersey at practice but taking reps: "He's toughing it out."

Is anyone in the SEC championship-worthy? One stat may hold the answer

A couple days later, two telling things about Carson Beck's interceptions - and what Kirby Smart says about them - which lead to the same conclusion: "Just decision-making. I think that's the bottom line."

Kirby Smart sounds (legitimately) hopeful on RB Trevor Etienne, who hurt his ribs against Florida: "Etienne I feel good about. He felt good yesterday and did some things yesterday with our guys. … The trainer feels good about him."

SEC vibes: It just means Dores. Vanderbilt and South Carolina are feelin' good. Auburn, Kentucky are not. And in between a lot of ehhhhhhh......

Updating stat from last night's column: Georgia now tied for seventh in the nation in pass plays of 20-plus yards, and fourth in pass plays of 30-plus yards. Again, the stats don't back up the idea it's the weapons. The issue is mostly Beck's mistakes:

RT @SethWEmerson: “I’d be stupid to say I’m not frustrated.” It’s pretty clear what Carson Beck has to do. He just needs to do it: https:/…

“I’d be stupid to say I’m not frustrated.” It’s pretty clear what Carson Beck has to do. He just needs to do it:

South Carolina won the game but will now owe Texas A&M $100,000 from its $70 million or whatever SEC payout next year so really who won tonight, huh?

Some context on Georgia freshman Dwight Phillips Jr. scoring a touchdown tonight on his first career touch: Before putting the play in the gameplan Georgia’s offensive staff had to check Tuesday with Kirby Smart to make sure Phillips would even be on the travel roster.

Georgia resilient vs. Florida, but how concerning was close call after DJ Lagway injury? Takeaways from me and ⁦@MattBakerCFB⁩:

Still time for the Georgia back-door cover.

Almost just like the Texas game: Arian Smith with the long third-down catch, then another big completion, then a touchdown. Georgia back up a touchdown on Florida with 4:01 left.

And Florida ties it. We'll see if Georgia not twisting the knife in, up 20-13 with the ball, proves calamitous.
