Sharpen the Point: SEC Preview Pt. 1 —Alabama Crimson Tide, Arkansas Razorbacks, Auburn Tigers, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Kentucky Wildcats, LSU Tigers, Mississippi State Bulldogs

Everything Noles: For Florida State Seminoles Fans

We’re less than two weeks from Florida State opening the new college football season in Ireland and the hosts of Sharpen the Point, a college football gambling and daily fantasy sports podcast on the Everything Noles podcast channel, are getting you set for all the action across the country.

Expanded playoffs and conference realignment makes more teams than ever before important to FSU’s College Football Playoff hopes. Leading up to the start of the year, Brian Pellerin and Chris Tyndall preview the group of five and each conference’s CFP contenders with a Florida State lens in mind. It’s a lot to keep track of, but we’re helping consolidate it all in one place for you.

So far, they’ve covered the top Group of 5 teams that could see themselves in the playoff this winter, including the Seminoles’ Sept. 14 opponent — the Memphis Tigers. Plus they broke down the ultra-competitive Big 12. Are Deion Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes serious competitors for a playoff spot in 2024?`

On today’s preview of the SEC, they take a deep look into the first eight SEC schools alphabetically — Alabama through Mississippi State. Are the Crimson Tide capable of staying on top of the college football landscape post-Nick Saban? Can anybody slow down Georgia’s dominant run as the new premier program in the SEC? Is LSU capable of replacing a Heisman-winning offense and elevating a below average defense to title level? And what can Billy Napier do to make it through Florida’s daunting schedule?

The previews continue later this week with a look at the rest of the SEC before moving on to the Big Ten and then the ACC as well as Florida State’s Week Zero opener in Ireland.
