- Auburn's fast-paced offense will be something new for Alabama's defense to deal with, writes Don Kausler Jr. of the Birmingham News. Seems like this gets written at least once a week.
- Alabama linebackers coach James Willis returns to Auburn wearing enemy colors, writes Gentry Estes of the Mobile Press-Register.
- Alabama has had to alter its practice schedule with the Iron Bowl being on Friday, writes Michael Casagrande of the Decatur Daily.
- Kevin Scarbinsky is shocked there's no Nick Saban-to-Notre Dame talk.
- After Auburn bottomed out against Alabama last year, Gene Chizik has done a nice job rebuilding the program so far, writes ESPN.com blogger Chris Low.
- Georgia's Reshad Jones will get a chance at redemption, writes David Hale of the Macon Telegraph.
- LSU's Les Miles is the Turkey of the Year, writes Paul Finebaum.
- Miles is not hot in Low's SEC Hot/Not list. Kentucky's Rich Brooks is En Fuego.

- This still from the Texas Tech-Oklahoma game is pretty funny.
