Title Town: Men and Women’s Cross Country Teams sweep SEC Championships in Oxford

All we do is win, baby.

The Football team may have taken the week off, but Alabama’s other athletics programs have not. Earlier this week, the Women’s Soccer team claimed the No. 1 national ranking and then clenched the SEC regular season crown. And today, at the SEC Championships in Oxford, the Men and Women’s Cross Country teams swept the podiums, clinching titles for both programs.

It was a dominant showing for the women’s squad, while the men’s team had to claw their way to victory:

“We have great student-athletes, coaches and staff, and they all work very hard so we can compete at this level in this conference. Even with all that, it’s so rare that you get days like today, when everything comes together perfectly. We saw two extraordinary but very different races out there. The women came in poised and ready for their moment and they took it. Our men were in a fight from the moment they toed the line and they really dug deep and got us the finishes we had to have. I couldn’t be prouder of what we’ve accomplished and can’t wait to continue this season at regionals.”

That was not all, though. Vincent Kiprop claimed another one for his trophy case too.

For Kiprop, it was his second SEC crown, after winning last years 8,000 meter — and it gives the Tide B2B individual titles in the 10K.

Congratulations to everyone, and Roll Tide.

If the 2022 Season had a 12-Team College Football Playoff

The best team of the worst conference would be a 3-seed if the 12-team playoff was this year. | Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Maybe it was time for an expanded playoff, but the seeding is a bunch of malarkey. Beginning in 2024, a 12-team playoff will commence. The controversial format grants automatic bids to the six highest-ranked conference champions, gives first-round byes to the highest ranked four champions, and completes the field with six at-large selections. No at-large can earn a bye. First-round games, between seeds 5 through 12, are to be played on campus or at a location designated by the higher seed. In other words, should a team like Wake Forest get in and be a higher seed in the first round, they might be convinced to play in Carolina Panthers ’ stadium rather than in the Demon Deacons’ 31,500 capacity stadium. If a 12-team Playoff was held this season with the guidelines laid out above, the following is what it would look like under the current format: SEEDINGS: G...

ACC Coaches Against The Spread: Ranked From Best To Worst. Who Covers?

How good are all of the ACC head coaches against the spread? Going from best to worst, here’s who covers and who doesn’t. How do all of the ACC head coaches do against the spread, and on the road ATS, and going over on the point total? If you like to invest, here’s everything you need to know about 11 of the 14 current ACC head coaches and how they do against the lines. One important note, all of these stats only reflect how all the coaches have done on their current ACC teams . The new head coaches – Mike Elko at Duke, Tony Elliott at Virginia, and Brent Pry at Virginia Tech – aren’t a part of this because they’ve never done this before, and Miami’s Mario Cristobal gets credit for his time at Oregon before taking over the new gig.

Jumbo Package: National media have mostly written off the Tide

Set Number: X164200 TK1 Your latest Crimson Tide news and notes. Happy Friday, everyone. Bye weeks are never fun for the fans, but the team needed it this year more than any in recent memory. Hopefully they are getting healed up and ready to close strong. Exactly none of the major publications is picking Alabama to make the playoff at this point. USA TODAY: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU (Dec. 31) 247Sports: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Sporting News: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU Bleacher Report: Sugar Bowl vs. TCU That seems like just the kind of anti-rat poison Saban desires. A pair of freshman linemen have made impacts this season. Pleasant surprise: Tyler Booker The freshman has managed to split time with two experienced guards in a platoon system rarely seen on the offensive line, where the need for chemistry and continuity typically precludes rotational substitutions. His pass-blocking grade of 86.7 from PFF is the best of any UA guard, and ranks 15th among 577 guards nationally. Top freshman:...
