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

I go by SEC Mike on Twitter and that is of course our good friend Stephen the

last and senior editor over at Athlon Sports back for another show Stephen how's it

going my friend Mike it is going great.

We've got some SEC ball coming up.

It feels like we just finished week one,

but heck, week two is just a couple of days away.

We got our first conference game. We got some good non-conference

actions so man time me up I'm ready to go for week two. Right and I don't know about you

Stephen but I mean I get I love that there's Thursday Friday

Saturday Sunday Monday football but quite honestly it's I will be glad to get back to a more regular Saturday mostly only football schedule.

Yeah, I think I am too. I guess probably a traditionalist would like to see all the games on Saturday. I guess like you know it wouldn't necessarily be bad to have some weeks where there was like a few more SEC games on Thursday or Friday. I think I'm kind of counting down the days until it's just all conference play because that's my favorite part of the season.

You know the high profile non-conference matchups are great, but it's better when we're just talking conference play.

It's a little bit, I think easier to kind of decipher what's going on, but any weekend we have college football on.

There's none on obviously Thursday because the NFL but Friday Saturday man we've got 70 something games overall so I can't wait to get going.

Yeah we got a lot of games. Stephen's going to give you his predictions.

He's going to give you his prize pick selection.
