Georgia football has the most first-team All-SEC selections
The Georgia Bulldogs have an impressive 13 All-SEC selections, which is tied with the Texas Longhorns for the most in the conference. Georgia has 11 players that made the 2025 All-SEC teams including a pair of players that made the team twice in Zachariah Branch and Peyton Woodring. No SEC team had more first-team selections than Georgia's 10. The Bulldogs have four first-team defenders, which is the most of any team in the conference. Impressively, Georgia has six first-team specialists, which compose the entire All-SEC first-team special teams unit. Georgia's offense has just three All-SEC selections including no first-team selections. The media is not exactly overconfident in Georgia's offense this fall. Projected UGA starting quarterback Gunner Stockton did not make an All-SEC team as expected. Georgia is predicted to finish second in the 16-team SEC behind Texas, who are the media's most popular SEC championship pick. Georgia begins SEC play in Week 3 of the 2025 college football season as the Dawgs hit the road to play the Tennessee Volunteers.

Notre Dame football offers top-50 2027 Mississippi defensive end
There isn't much room left in Notre Dame football's 2026 recruiting class, with twenty-six commitments, they can start to look ahead to the 2027 cycle. They already have two commits, just one being a position player, but the Irish have sent out plenty of offers to some of the best prospects in the country. One of them was offered on Saturday evening in Mississippi edge rusher Derwin Fields. The 6-foot, 5-inch and 220-pounder is ranked by the 247Sports Composite as the nation's No. 45 overall prospect, just outside the 5-star range. Notre Dame now joins teams like Alabama, Florida, LSU, Florida State and others in offering Fields, who should end up being able to play virtually anywhere he'd like. It does look like its going to be tough to pull him away from SEC-country, but the Irish have put their hat in the ring. If Fields is able to make it up to South Bend during the season, it would be a great sign for Notre Dame to continue to be in the mix for his commitment. Time will tell if that happens, but for now, the Irish are clearly interested in him joining their 2027 class.

First comes retirement. Then comes the permanent vacation.
Chitlada and Vichit Apisukh never took a vacation. Not when the young Thai immigrants met and married in Hawaii nearly 55 years ago. Not when they moved to Florida to start a family and open a restaurant north of Orlando. Not when they traveled around half the country, the Bahamas and Japan to support their children's athletic ambitions.
