Furthermore, their strong focus on the SEC conference allows fans in that region to get a closer look at the teams they support.

    While The Southern Sports Today podcast has numerous strengths, there are some aspects that could be improved upon. Some listeners have noted that there is a bias towards certain teams, particularly the University of Georgia (UGA).
