Welcome in the latest episode of that SEC podcast I'm your host Michael Bratton.

I go by SEC Mike on Twitter and that is of course the Dean over there you know him as

Stephen Lassen senior editor over at Athlaud Sports Stephen another week of SEC action is in the books. We're ready to preview

another one here in a minute. How you doing my friend? Mike, I am doing great. I'm always

excited to be talking some SEC ball with you, especially after another

exciting weekend. And man, do we have some massive matchups on tap for week five and you start

looking at the schedule down the road I think the crazy

thing is you start looking like almost like an SEC Super Bowl almost every week

with Alabama Georgia we still got Georgia Ole Miss Texas Oklahoma Texas, Oklahoma, Texas, Georgia.

So man, we're just getting into the meat of the schedule.

Like, this is an appetizer these first four weeks of the year.

Right, so this weekend, we do have one non-conference game, but everything else is conference play.

It's going to be one heck of a Saturday slate. We're going to break that all down, but we also got

Stephen's updated playoff projections we're going to get to that in a minute the panic meter here one of my favorite things we do each and every week with Stephen here,

talk about the panic level meter,

and we've got about five teams we can hit on there

before we preview the SEC games.

And then I went a step further.

Sad to say, but we'll celebrate it Stephen.

We're a quarter of the way through the season, so there's a little...

That's depressing, Mike.

Right.
