5 SEC storylines Paul Finebaum Show callers will be talking about after Week 7

There will be some bold proclamations on Monday’s episode of The Paul Finebaum Show.

Five games will give the callers of The Paul Finebaum Show plenty to take about from Week 7.

Even though two games weren’t played last weekend, the biggest one in college football sure was. The No. 2 Alabama Crimson Tide went out and dominated the No. 3 Georgia Bulldogs in the second half to easily win, 41-24. We also saw two more ranked teams drop games to unranked opponents with the No. 15 Auburn Tigers and the No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers falling.

Here is what The Paul Finebaum Show callers will be talking about Monday.

5. Jeremy Pruitt needs to stop playing Jarrett Guarantano if he wants to beat someone good.

After beginning the year at 2-0, Jeremy Pruitt’s Vols have looked bad against two SEC East rivals in a row. Losing on the road to Georgia is one thing, but getting blown out at home by the Kentucky Wildcats is another. Tennessee could lose to Kentucky and it wouldn’t be the end of the world, but to lose in this fashion has to have the Rocky Top faithful questioning Pruitt’s coaching decision.

It has been established over the last half-decade that Tennessee starting quarterback Jarrett Guarantano is one the most inconsistent SEC quarterbacks of all time. Some weeks, he’s good and other weeks, he’s bad. Saturday vs. Kentucky was one of the latter. Pruitt needs to make a change at quarterback if he wants to see anything different from this Tennessee offense going forward.

4. Is Sam Pittman making Arkansas a good football team? Yessir!

Who could have seen Sam Pittman’s Arkansas Razorbacks at 2-2 through four games? This was a rebuilding program not expected to win a single conference game this year, yet through the first half of the year, the Hogs have taken two in SEC play. Yessir! Arkansas has wins over the Mississippi State Bulldogs and the Ole Miss Rebels and won’t be the worst team in the division.

Had the SEC officials not been in love with Auburn two weeks ago, the Hogs would be riding a three-game winning streak with their only loss being to the Dawgs at home in their season opener. Arkansas still has to play Alabama and the Texas A&M Aggies, but this team is way ahead of schedule under their first-time head coach who has put together one heck of a coaching staff.

3. Auburn is never going to win anything with Gus Malzahn, so he needs to go.

Even though playing on the road in Williams-Brice Stadium is never easy, this was a game Auburn should have won over the South Carolina Gamecocks. Both teams are 2-2 on the year and it is Will Muschamp‘s Gamecocks who have the head-to-head tiebreaker, for whatever that’s worth. It may not be the end for Boom in Columbia, but Gus Malzahn’s seat is getting hotter down on The Plains.

Every three or four years, Auburn will put together a special season in which it defeats both major rivals Georgia and Alabama at home. It helps them get to the SEC Championship game. However, Saturday was a perfect illustration of what the in-between very much looks like. Bo Nix played poorly again and War Eagle Nation is just about ready to send the Gus Bus out of town.

2. Little Ole Climpson done ain’t played nobody, PAWL! Bama should be No. 1!

Many fine Finebaum callers from the Yellowhammer State will believe Alabama should be the No. 1 team in the country because little old Climpson ain’t played nobody yet. These are the two best teams in the country right now, as it feels like these southeastern rivals will meet once again in the College Football Playoff. While Clemson blows out Georgia Tech, Alabama beats up Georgia.

Clemson may have a win over a former top-10 team in the Miami Hurricanes, but Alabama has a pair of wins over two top-10 teams in Georgia and Texas A&M, both at home. The debate will continue for as long as both teams stay undefeated. The number of people who will call into the show on Monday afternoon to tell Pawl who is better will approach an early-season record high.

1. I thank Kirby needs to get Smart and start JT Daniels over Stetson Bennett IV vs. Kentucky.

“The Mailman” wasn’t able to deliver the post in the second half of yet another Georgia beatdown at the hands of the Crimson Tide. The Dawgs have dropped six games in a row to Alabama and it’s been more of the same vs. Nick Saban’s team. Georgia made too many mental mistakes for them to pull off the upset in Bryant-Denny. Is this the last game Stetson Bennett IV will start for UGA?

There will be plenty of Finebaum callers asking why JT Daniels wasn’t inserted into the game to give the team a spark in the fourth quarterback. Dawg Nation will have an extra week to ponder about its quarterback room again, as Georgia will be on bye before playing Kentucky on Halloween. With two big games in a row vs. Kentucky and the Florida Gators, Dawg Nation is so panicking.

Even without Florida, the LSU Tigers, the Missouri Tigers or the Vanderbilt Commodores playing this week, the storylines in the SEC were abundant. It has been established who the best team is in Alabama, but things are getting interesting between who is No. 2? Is it Florida, Georgia, Texas A&M or somebody else altogether? All we know is the SEC remains the best Power 5 conference.
