SEC Round-Up: Manning Addresses Transfer Rumors, FBI Has Role in Alabama CFP Prep

FRISCO, Texas – While Arkansas fans have been busy with the holidays, so much has gone on around the conference they may have missed. So, we gathered up the best SEC stories the Sports Illustrated family has to offer and put them all in one place to catch everyone up.

An SEC coach identifies a major issue with the upcoming 12-team playoff that has nothing to do with who gets in, it seems they still play basketball in Kentucky, Oklahoma quarterback gets awaking that he has much to do before facing SEC, Manning addresses whether he intends to remain at Texas, one coach benefitted by missing a bowl game and a booster goes on the radio and makes fans think he set up a winner take all NIL deal for whoever wins the starting quarterback job.

All this and more in this final 2023 edition of the SEC Round-Up.
