SEC West Bowl Projections

The SEC West has proven to be one of the toughest divisions in the country. Earlier this season, all seven teams were ranked in the AP top 25. Every week is a huge test in the West, and with good reason. We'll project the bowl games after week five.

Alabama: College Football Playoff

After a slow start, the Tide will figure out a way to get back into the College Football Playoff. They lost to Ole Miss last year too, showing that winning the remainder of its regular season games is not impossible. They looked mighty impressive after a 38-10 victory against Georgia, and if they play like that, they will be mighty tough to beat.

Arkansas: Music City Bowl

They didn’t get off to a great start with losses to Toledo and Texas Tech, but they will find their way into a bowl game. They played solid against Tennessee in week five, and I predict that they will finish strong like they did last year. Look for Arkansas to be a serious contender next year in the SEC West.

Auburn: Independence Bowl

A slow season for Auburn, Gus Malzahn and the Tigers will wind up in Shreveport. They have no offensive consistency, and their defense is progressing slowly. However, with the addition of Will Muschamp, they should be a solid squad in a few years.

LSU: Sugar Bowl

LSU had a great season behind sophomore Leonard Fournette, and the Tigers will be rewarded with a game close to their home. The quarterback play isn’t as great as it has been, and that is why the LSU tigers won’t quite be able to get there. I imagine they will have at least 11 wins.

Ole Miss: Cotton Bowl

Ole Miss had a great season, but is bound to have a couple slip-ups late. They got embarrassed by Florida in week five, but should have at least nine wins. Hugh Freeze is doing great things in Oxford, and look for him to be a hot coach on the market in the off season.

Mississippi State: Outback Bowl

Dak Prescott will have a great season, but it is not quite enough to get 10 wins. A morale booster for Dan Mullen, look for Mullen to receive a serious contract extension soon. They had a disappointing loss to Texas A&M at A&M, but had a lot of things to be proud of.

Texas A&M: Texas Bowl

Kevin Sumlin had a great start to the beginning of the season, but we could see him having a few slip-ups late. They had a great victory over MSU in week five, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the Alabama vs. A&M game on College Gameday. I could see Texas A&M going to a much better bowl game.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
