Chase Robinson is joined by former Alabama offensive lineman Mike Johnson to preview the Alabama vs Georgia game. Topics include:

Its hard to figure out the identity of Alabama to this point of the season

This is a very strong offensive line Alabama has when they are healthy

Both teams still look for their identity and both very similar

The Alabama defense can win the battle up front

Alabama needs to play penalty free football

Welcome to Episode 16 of the SEC Football Hour with Chase Robinson and Chris Lee, an SEC football podcast that discusses the biggest storylines in the conference all year long. We'll cover the biggest/trending topics, feature fun and interesting guest interviews, and a wide range of various topics including:

Early returns suggest that the SEC has five teams that could win the national title--Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, Tennessee, Texas--and Missouri could be playoff-bound as well.

The league has a quarterback stability problem. Florida is splitting time between DJ Lawgway and Graham Mertz, and Auburn (for different reasons) is doing the same between Hank Brown and Peyton Throrne. Meanwhile, Mississippi State (Blake Shapen, who is out for the year), South Carolina (LaNorris Sellers) and Texas A&M (Connor Weigman) have their starters missing time with injury and Oklahoma has benched Jackson Arnold for Michael Hawkins. Meanwhile, we’d like to see more consistency from Talen Green (Arkansas) and Brock Vandagriff (Kentucky).

Can Auburn win two SEC games this year? The Tigers may be underdogs in seven SEC contests.

How many games will LSU (now without star linebacker Harold Perkins) win?

Plus, some surprising SEC stat leaders, such as Arkansas’s JaQuinden Jackson, who leads the league in rushing.

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee examine who has more at stake in Georgia’s trip to Alabama on Saturday, both for this season and beyond. Topics include:

The ramifications of each team’s schedule ahead:

ALABAMA

Alabama will be favored in every game after this except maybe one (at Tennessee), which looks like a virtual toss-up as of late-September.

Missouri looms, but the Tigers may not be as tough as we thought a few weeks ago.

Don’t completely discount South Carolina, Auburn, LSU and Oklahoma as teams that could play with Alabama, but Alabama looks like a big favorite in all those.

So, Alabama can lose to Georgia and 10-2 still seems most likely. And it’s hard to imagine that not getting Alabama in the playoff.

GEORGIA

The schedule-makers did Georgia no favors.

The Bulldogs have murderous road trips to Texas and Ole Miss and it’s possible they may be a small underdog in each.

Georgia will likely be a single-digit favorite over a tough Tennessee team, with that game being in Athens.

Rivalry games with Auburn and Georgia Tech remain.

But lose to Alabama and 9-3 is a real possibility. Could the Bulldogs make the playoff with that record, especially with a win already banked over Clemson?

PROGRAM PERCEPTION/RECRUITING

Things are rarely as good or bad as they seem, but in the SEC, judgments are made fairly or unfairly with every game even if they’re out of line with reality.

So here are the best and worst-case scenarios for each program.

ALABAMA

It’s been a wait-and-see since Nick Saban retired. Kalen DeBoer looked/looks like a fantastic hire but comparisons will always be made to his predecessor.

Win this one, and it feels as if Alabama’s got a claim in regaining its position as college football’s top program, especially with DeBoer winning some key recruiting battles.

A struggling Auburn could also aid Alabama in recruiting.

GEORGIA

Georgia didn’t make the Playoff last year (even if it deserved to be in). Not making it this year would beg some questions about the program’s positioning.

But win this one, and Georgia still would be considered college football’s premier program.

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview and share their predictions for Mississippi State’s trip to Texas and analyze the matchup. Thoughts include:

Will we see Arch Manning or Quinn Ewers this week as coach Steve Sarkisian has a choice to make in resting Ewers (shoulder) with a bye week ahead.

Mississippi State quarterback Blake Shapen is done for the year, so, the Bulldogs turned things over to true freshman Michael Van Buren last week.

The Bulldogs have found a running game in spots with Keyvone Lee and Davon Booth, but haven’t faced a rushing defense like the Longhorns.

Texas has numerous offensive stars in Jaydon Blue, Jerrick Gibson, Isaiah Bond, Ryan Wingo, Gunnar Helm and others.

Mississippi State has had trouble with run defense against Power 5 teams.

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview and share their predictions for Kentucky's trip to Ole Miss and analyze the matchup. Thoughts include:

We get a matchup of strength on strength with Ole Miss’s offense and Kentucky’s defense.

Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart is putting up Heisman Trophy-level numbers--and so is wide receiver Tre Harris.

The Rebels have a bunch of other offensive weapons in Henry Parrish, Caden Prieskhorn, Juice Wells and Jordan Watkins.

Kentucky’s defense is paced on the front end by Deone Walker and the back end by Maxwell Hairston, with a ton of good defenders like JJ Weaver and D’Eryk Jackson in between.

Ole Miss’s defense has been stout against the run and the pass rush has been one of the country’s best.

Did Kentucky’s passing game, featuring quarterback Brock Vandagrilff and receivers Ja’Mori Maclin, Dane Key and Barrion Brown, get on track last week against Ohio?

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview and share their predictions for Oklahoma’s road trip to Auburn in Week 5 of the 2024 college football season. Topics include:

There’s quarterback instability at Auburn. Peyton Thorne was benched two games ago, but returned in relief last week against Arkansas after Hank

Brown also had a problem throwing interceptions. Who’ll start this week?

There could be quarterback instability at Oklahoma, too. Jackson Arnold got benched during the Tennessee game after another slow start. Will it be Arnold or Michael Hawkins this week?

The Sooners have been devastated by injuries along the offensive line and receiver, and now, star defender Kendal Dolby is also out.

We’d bet you didn’t know that Auburn ranks second in the SEC at 8.0 yards per play. The problems: The Tigers turn it over on 6.1% of offensive snaps (of which they average just 58 a game) and have accumulated a lot of those stats against two awful defenses (Alabama A&M, New Mexico).

Oklahoma leads the country with 12 turnovers gained, and has a ball-hawking safety in Billy Bowman who can easily create scores for the defense.

We give you reasons why each team could win.

Chase Robinson and Chris Lee preview and share their predictions for Arkansas’s trip to Arlington to face Texas A&M. Topics include:

Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has been up and down. He was spectacular against Pine-Bluff and Oklahoma State, but has completed less than 50% of his throws the past two weeks vs. UAB and Auburn.

Ja’Quinden Jackson is one of the SEC’s most underrated players, and leads a potent Arkansas rushing attack.

Will Texas A&M go with Marcel Reed over the injured Connor Weigman (shoulder) again this week?

The Aggies have mounted a formidable rushing attack with Reed, Le’Veon Moss and Amari Daniels.

Arkansas’s rush defense has been good despite facing two of the country’s best running backs in Ollie Gordon (Oklahoma State) and Jarquez Hunter (Auburn).
