Big news as two new coaches take over in the SEC: Texas A&M pivots to hiring Mike Elko, after a weekend of interest in Kentucky's Mark Stoops. Elko was the former A&M defensive coordinator under Jimbo Fisher, before taking over as head coach at Duke. Now he tries to turn things around in College Station.

Meanwhile, Mississippi State gets their guy in former Oklahoma and Ole Miss OC Jeff Lebby, as the Bulldogs opt to bring an offensive mind back to Starkville to get them back into SEC contention.

We have some SEC QBs already hitting the Transfer Portal in Mississippi State's Will Rogers, Texas A&M's Max Johnson and Vanderbilt's Ken Seals.

And we have some key weekend takeaways, as we had an epic finish in the Iron Bowl as "4th and 31" will forever be a mention in the annual Alabama-Auburn rivalry, as Isaiah Bond catches a prayer from Jalen Milroe to keep Bama's playoff hopes alive. And some interesting numbers from Jayden Daniels as he makes his case for the Heisman Trophy. And some other takeaways from Kentucky's win over Louisville, Tennessee crushes Vanderbilt, Florida falls to FSU, Georgia wins a competitive battle with Georgia Tech, and South Carolina can't come through vs Clemson.
