Third Saturday in October

First it was Alabama, and now it's Florida. Welcome to the Third Saturday in October - your SEC water cooler podcast for the rest of us! Don't overlook any opponent just because you play in the SEC.

Plus Alabama outdid Tennessee on a week they didn't even play each other, State has a huge win over...State, and Vandy's win sets up a big game against USC this weekend.

Auburn takes the series in Knoxville, and the Vols are left scratching their heads. Welcome to the Third Saturday in October - your SEC water cooler podcast for the rest of us!

Bradley breaks it all down. buymeacoffee.com/tsiopod @TSIOPod on Instagram, X, and Venmo ThirdSaturdayInOctober.com

Nico; Aguilar; Baker-Mazara - now the dust is starting to settle. Welcome to the Third Saturday in October - your SEC water cooler podcast for the rest of us. The college athletics transfer portal is a wild place. Nico Iamaleava entered and ended up losing money and trading places with UCLA's Aguilar. And Auburn's Baker-Mazara goes looking for more money. It's been a roller coaster few days, and that's not even including Tennessee baseball. thirdsaturdayinoctober.com @TSIOPod on Instagram, X, and Venmo

Bradley wasn't sure why Auburn kept their number 1 ranking last week, but there's always a reason. Welcome to the Third Saturday in October, your SEC water cooler podcast for the rest of us. Auburn proved why they deserve to be the top-ranked team in the country for another week. The pack right behind them is crowded. Who's going to outlast them all?

Dazed, confused, and left scratching our heads - that's how we feel after the last week of SEC basketball. Welcome to the Third Saturday in October, your SEC water cooler podcast for the rest of us! If the college football season wasn't crazy and chaotic enough for you, basketball season might just help you scratch that itch.
