The circus that is SEC Media Days will convene this week at the Omni Hotel in Dallas, where the Sooners and Longhorns will host a housewarming party of sorts, inviting all of their crazy new neighbors into what used to be Big 12 country.
OU and Texas leveled up, and we’re about to find out how comfortable they are in their new digs.
In SECville, there are crazy Cajuns staying up all night and Gators lurking in the neighborhood pond. Lane Kiffin egging houses and Kirby Smart pocketing HOA fees. Hogs wreaking havoc on lawns and the ghost of Nick Saban haunting enemies of old.
Other than that, it’s really a nice place!
Four teams will take the SEC Media Days stage each day from Monday through Thursday. The Sooners will take their turn Tuesday with the Longhorns following on Wednesday.
Here’s one big question for each team heading into SEC Media Days. We’ll go in order of when they’ll take their turn in Dallas.

LSU
What is Blake Baker’s plan for fixing the defense?
LSU had the Heisman Trophy winner in quarterback Jayden Daniels flanked by a couple of first-round NFL Draft wide receivers in Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr.
But the Tigers’ supercharged offense was held back by the nation’s 108th-ranked total defense.
Coach Brian Kelly fired defensive coordinator Matt House and replaced House with Blake Baker, the former defensive coordinator at Missouri. LSU is paying Baker $2.5 million annually, making him one of the highest-paid assistants in college football.
LSU will have to remake its offense this season under quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, but as we saw, not even a Daniels-led offense could overcome LSU’s pitiful defense.
