Lane Kiffin alleges some SEC coaches don't want to play in the SEC championship game due to the risk of missing the playoff.

0:06.2

We're going to break it down.

0:07.3

We preview Notre Dame hosting Army at Yankee Stadium going to talk some Florida Ole Miss, too.

0:12.5

And Joe Mixon shines against the Cowboys, told you.

0:15.9

Check it out of more on Cr a couple. What's up? What's up, everyone?

Hope you're having a great start to the week as we race toward the back end of the week.
