The post-Steve Spurrier interim coach will make his return to Columbia. We’ve also got Shawn Elliott’s return to South Carolina. Even as a 3-score favorite at home, never rule out the possibility of MSU playing down to its competition. Last year was bookended by baffling results. You never really know what you’re gonna get from Mike Leach’s squad. It ended up being one of the stranger officiating games of the year with the non-call on the Memphis punt return touchdown and the ruling on the apparent MSU onside kick recovery. This was one of the best SEC games of nonconference play last year. The Bryce Young/Will Anderson show should be brief, but perhaps the most intrigue will be seeing Alabama’s new transfer portal skill-players shine. I wonder how many times Nick Saban is gonna remind everyone that Utah State finished ranked in the AP Top 25? To quote “Mean Girls,” well, “the limit does not exist.” There’s a chance that Alabama takes its foot off the gas a little early with Texas ahead in Week 2, but I wouldn’t bank on this being competitive past halftime. I doubt we’ll see clipboards flying in a game against a 5-win Sun Belt team, but we can hope. Zach Evans, Michael Trigg and Ulysses Bentley should have plenty of chances to shine, regardless of who starts at quarterback. The intrigue is with the bevy of new skill players on offense. The new-look Lane Kiffin offense is always worth the price of admission. A shootout is always on the table for the Vols, especially if they take a step back defensively with some key pieces gone. Against a Ball State team who let up half a hundred to Georgia State the last time it took the field, I wouldn’t be surprised if Josh Heupel’s squad puts up 28 points in the first quarter. Tennessee is a legitimate candidate to boast the nation’s top offense. A slow start is certainly possible, but Kentucky is a 3-touchdown favorite for a reason. Will Levis has a new offensive coordinator and a bunch of new targets to throw to.

To be fair, as recently as last year, a 10-win Kentucky team gave us a down-to-the-wire game against Chattanooga, so don’t say a MAC school hanging around is impossible.

But the Aggies should roll over a team that doesn’t even spell Bearkats properly. We didn’t get much of a sample size of Haynes King and Max Johnson, while experienced, would still be playing in a new offense. The intrigue will be with who Jimbo Fisher rolls out at quarterback. Even if the offense is a bit of a work in progress, I’d still expect the Tigers’ ground game to put this one away by halftime. Last year, Auburn trounced those early-season cupcakes. It’s too bad that Bryan Harsin’s revenge tour kicks off with an FCS foe. For the sake of my viewing on a Thursday night, I’d appreciate if Louisiana Tech could repeat last year’s performance against MSU in Week 1.

But against a 3-win Louisiana Tech squad who has a new coaching staff, well, let’s just say it’s telling that Mizzou is a 20-point favorite. Yeah, part of me is looking forward to seeing a new-look Mizzou offense and the debut of Luther Burden.

If the Phoenix (that’s Elon’s nickname) make this one interesting coming off a 6-win season at the FCS level, yikes. VanderbiltĪs much as I find myself buying into Mike Wright as a fun option at quarterback for a program that hasn’t had that since Kyle Shurmur, no, this one won’t move the needle for me. Here’s how I’d rank the 14 SEC matchups to kick off the season: 14.

Spoiler alert: The DVR will not be locked and loaded for that one. Just so that things don’t get confusing, I’m going to include Vanderbilt’s Week 1 game against Elon instead. That Week 0 matchup will technically be the official start of SEC football in 2022. For the second time this week, I forgot that Vanderbilt will travel to face Hawaii on Aug.
