Can Alabama football overcome one of the youngest offenses in the country and compete for the 2026 SEC Championship? On this episode of Last Call, former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker joins Mick Gillispie at The Next Round studios to break down the biggest storylines surrounding the 2026 SEC football season. The guys examine BetMGM's SEC Championship odds, with Texas and Georgia listed as the favorites ahead of LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma and Tennessee.

They also preview Alabama's upcoming season and explain why a 10-2 record and College Football Playoff appearance would represent a successful transition year for the Crimson Tide—while potentially setting up a legitimate national championship run in 2027. Lance also revisits some of the worst sports takes of his career, including questioning the Kobe Bryant trade, doubting Patrick Mahomes before the Kansas City Chiefs drafted him and predicting a Purdue-Tennessee national championship matchup. The conversation then takes several unexpected turns, including:
