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

I go by SEC Michael Twitter and it is an SEC after dark so that means that is Stephen Lassen

senior editor over at Athlaud sports Stephen how you doing my Mike, I think the SEC after dark magic got us after last week.

Last week's show was cursed with injuries, and then of course, over the last couple of days I've been battling an illness so

We're off to a good start here as we get closer to the season. We're supposed to be ramping up right? We're not supposed to be trending in the wrong direction but here I am on the injury

list we we are not in camp mode here just for the folks to know Stephen's

sick as a dog I threw my back. We almost didn't do this show. We're

powering through because football is right around the quarter and as miserable as

things may be for Stephen and I at the at the current moment. The only thing that is getting

through getting us through all this is football is right around the corner so

we didn't want to leave you all hanging but yeah ready to talk some SEC football Stephen came up with another

outstanding show topic for today we're gonna talk about the best players on every

single SEC team before at the end we're going to kind of recap it and go the top 25

players in all the SEC and thankfully Stephen this ain't a C the same big 12 is a pack 12 which I think is pack 2 now whatever but

because there's actually elite players to discuss and this was this was not easy to do.

Oh man it is hard to do a top five for some of these SEC teams looking at you Georgia

especially and some of these teams in the SEC I think you know Mike I think

one of the interesting things about doing this is it sort of helps you get an idea of like team

strength almost like when you get to a team and you have a hard

time figuring out who is number one in that list it's probably not a good sign you could

also look at it as hey I don't know who's number one because they have a bunch of

good players.
