Author: Locked On Podcast Network, Chris Gordy February 20, 2026 Duration: 31:55
SEC teams face a scheduling crossroads as top programs cancel tough non-conference games—will playoff selection reward risk-averse strategies or punish elite competition? The SEC Squad debates Alabama’s scrapped Ohio State series, Texas backing out vs. Arizona State, and the growing disparity in Power 4 matchups. They question if SEC’s demanding schedule benefits its teams, spotlight Big Ten national champions’ softer paths, and explore how playoff committee decisions fuel the shift. The hosts also break down SEC coaching salaries, calling out Lane Kiffin’s payday and Eli Drinkwitz’s rising expectations, while examining hot seat scenarios for Steve Sarkisian, Lincoln Riley, and Dabo Swinney. SEC hoops heat up as Florida and Vanderbilt emerge as legit contenders, with Arkansas and Kentucky lurking as potential tournament surprises. Is parity taking over college football—and will SEC teams keep outplaying the competition despite changing incentives?
