Sharpen the Point: SEC Preview Pt. 2 — Missouri Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, Ole Miss Rebels, South Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas A&M Aggies, Texas Longhorns, Vanderbilt Commodores

We’re closing in on 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 the year ahead. Expanded playoffs and conference realignment puts more teams, more games and more players in FSU’s path to the College Football Playoff. As ACC champ or contending for an at-large bid, the Noles will face some of the best of the rest to get back to the top of college football. 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 playoff contenders, including the Seminoles’ Sept. 14 opponent — the Memphis Tigers, broke down the ultra-competitive Big 12 and took a look at the first half of the SEC to see who could be standing in the way come December. On today’s preview of the SEC, they take a deep look into the second eight SEC schools alphabetically — Missouri through Vanderbilt. Can Missouri or Tennessee make a run at their first College Football Playoff bids? How will Texas and Oklahoma adjust to life after being the big fish in the Big 12 for so long? Can Texas A&M be a surprise SEC Championship Game contender post-Jimbo Fisher? Are Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss ready make their first trip to Atlanta? The previews continue this weekend with a look at the Big Ten before moving on to the ACC as well as Florida State’s Week Zero opener in Ireland.
