With Week 1 of college football action in the books, we decided to take a look at what the media buzz is around the nation regarding the SEC:

CBS Sports, Jon Solomon

In Solomon’s Week 1 College Football Rewind, he decided to lead with the SEC West’s impressive opening weekend and the resiliency the conference showed after an abysmal 2-5 bowl season record last year.

Solomon points to Alabama, Auburn and Texas A&M’s season-opening wins against power conference teams as big steps toward rebuilding the SEC West’s supremacy in college football. He goes in depth on each of those three matchups and the impact they’ll have on the teams involved moving forward.

ESPN, Derek Tyson

As a writer for ESPN’s RecruitingNation, Tyson took a bit of a different angle than most other national media by looking at the visits by major SEC recruiting targets and commitments during opening weekend games. He explained that there probably could have been even more big-time visitors if it weren’t for the fact that some of the conference’s marquee games were played at neutral sites.

But Arkansas received some big news over the weekend by getting a commitment from one of their top in-state targets defensive end McTelvin Agim after the Razorbacks hosted the four-star recruit during their 48-13 win over UTEP.

Alabama also hosted a defensive linemen, but one that was already committed to the Crimson Tide before arriving, Kendell Jones. Jones got to see his future team handle Wisconsin, 35-17, and was joined by offensive line commit Chris Owens.

Tyson also recognizes Florida’s welcoming of a trio of wide receivers that it hopes will become Gators one day.

Grantland, Grantland Staff

The Grantland staff picked its “Preseason College Football Triangle All-Stars” and a third of the list is from the SEC.

LSU running back Leonard Fournette, Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell, Alabama offensive tackle Cam Robinson and Alabama punter JK Scott all represent the conference on the list that is comprised of players that fit a certain mold.

“Some of them are the best at what they do. Some of them are the most fun. Some of them are hair. Together, they’re the 2015 Triangle All-Stars,” Grantland explains at the top of the article.

Sports Illustrated, Andy Staples

Staples went in depth on South Carolina’s narrow victory over North Carolina and Alabama’s drumming of Wisconsin in two separate columns this weekend for Sports Illustrated.

Staples talks about how the tone of Steve Spurrier after the Gamecocks win was that of a coach whose team just lost. He goes on to further explain that not much was learned about either team in this game but that it is nevertheless a big win for South Carolina even if they were lucky to come away with it.

As far as Alabama goes, Staples breaks down some key observations from the Crimson Tide’s first game. He mainly focuses on the impressive performance by quarterback Jake Coker and his emergence as Alabama’s bona fide starter, as well as the dominance of the Crimson Tide’s front seven.

USA TODAY Sports, Laken Litman

USA TODAY Sports’ For the Win blog looked to the SEC for two of its three biggest observations from college football’s opening weekend.

Litman’s first observation was that if the national championship was played on Week 1, Texas A&M might have been holding a crystal football the last two years. After dismantling South Carolina in last year’s opener, the Aggies handed it to No. 15-ranked Arizona State Saturday and look to be a force to be reckoned with in the SEC West.

Litman’s second observation was the success of Alabama’s running game. She points out that if the Crimson Tide can continue to run the ball like they did against the Badgers, things will be easy for whomever is under center in Alabama.

FOX Sports, Stewart Mandel

Mandel was on board with Litman and said “now there’s no denying Texas A&M is a legitimate playoff contender” after its win against the Sun Devils.

He claims that he’s been on the Aggies’ bandwagon for months now and said hopefully others can now more easily see what he was talking about.

Mandel doesn’t forget to mention that it won’t be easy for Texas A&M because of having to play teams like Alabama and Auburn, but he thinks a much-improved defense will take the Aggies to greater heights.
