Vanderbilt football preview

I like Vanderbilt to have another very competitive year in the SEC. Getting to Atlanta for the SEC Championship is still a hill too tall for the Commodores at this point, but a season well over .500 is not.

Bunn Sports Show – July 13

On this show, Jacob Bunn is joined by David Sears to discuss the Big East's 2012 college football season.

Missouri football preview

Missouri has had a very good run since Gary Pinkel became head coach over ten years ago. He had built the Tigers into a perennial threat in the Big XII. Now, his program will transition to the top conference in America.

Arkansas football preview

Because of the scandal, there will be an unmistakable cloud over the 2012 team for a while. Plus, there will be a coaching void without Petrino in charge. John L. Smith is now in charge of the program. Without Petrino in charge of strategy, the utilization of the team's multiple weapons may not be as effective.

Tennessee football preview

If Derek Dooley is to retain his position after this season, Tennessee’s brand will need to return to its former prominence quickly. The only way that can be done is by the Volunteers beating North Carolina State in Atlanta on opening weekend, and I think beating Florida at home in week three is necessary as well. If Tennessee starts 1-2, Dooley will certainly be looking for a new job.

Bunn Sports Show – July 6

On this show, Jacob Bunn is joined by David Sears to preview the ACC's 2012 college football season.

Texas A&M football preview

Texas A&M does have a large number of returning starters, but a coaching change coupled with a rigorous SEC West schedule make it almost impossible for Texas A&M to be a division title contender this year.

Kentucky football preview

This season is make-or-break for head coach Joker Phillips. And in the SEC, that is a tough thing to have to deal with. Games against South Carolina, Mississippi State and Georgia at home and Arkansas, Florida, Louisville and Missouri on the road make it almost impossible for Kentucky to clinch bowl eligibility without mass improvement.

Ole Miss football preview

New coach Hugh Freeze has a tough job on his hands, particularly since his program happens to play in a conference that might as well be the next step down from the NFL. But since last year was such a terrible display, any improvement will be welcome in Oxford.
