After a very disappointing first full weekend of college football, the SEC is in the cross hairs of college football analysts, pundits and columnists.

Tennessee, South Carolina, Ole Miss and Missouri had forgettable weekends to start the season, and it’s made plenty of fans restless and frustrated. USA TODAY’s Dan Wolken address all of those program’s in his first ‘Misery Index’ of the season.

“With all due respect to Georgia State, which looked nothing like a team that finished 2-10 a year ago and was picked to finish near the bottom of the Sun Belt Conference, it is impossible for a program like Tennessee to lose that game unless something is seriously screwed up internally,” Wolken wrote. “The Vols have been bad before, suffered losses to lesser programs that would drive fans crazy. It’s what happens when you get left at the alter by Lane Kiffin, hire an unproven coach in Derek Dooley who was way over his head in the SEC, then go all-in with to Butch Jones, whose good qualities as a college coach were undercut by his paranoia and inability to deal with the pressure of a highly-scrutinized job.”

About South Carolina, the Gamecocks’ loss was a cold splash of water of reality for a program in the fourth year under Will Muschamp. The preseason hype is already “deflated” and it’s another reminder of last year’s darkhorse label in the SEC East only to be struck down to Earth by Georgia.

“This season, it was the promise of having a team loaded with seniors, including four-year starting quarterback Jake Bentley, only to flop completely in a 24-20 loss to rebuilding North Carolina and a new coaching staff led by Mack Brown,” Wolken wrote. “That is a really bad loss for a team playing a brutally tough schedule, and Will Muschamp’s fourth season suddenly looks more like a treadmill of mediocrity rather than a breakthrough.”

For Missouri, the simple idea of scheduling a game at Wyoming was where the trouble began.

The first mistake they made at Missouri was scheduling a road game at Wyoming. Memo to Power Five athletics directors: Don’t do that. Laramie is a unique kind of place that is worth seeing once, but it is really hard to get to and tough to play a football game in.

At Ole Miss, “the Rebels look like a team headed for a slew of ugly, non-entertaining losses this year.”
