Every time there is a heat advisory in Gainesville, I count off the days until college football will be played.
As if it gets THAT much cooler in early September (high for opening day against Utah is expected to be 89).
It is in the dog days of summer that we start to think about the upcoming season and it will get here faster than we know it. Heck, SEC Media Days (and your first look at SEC coach Brian Kelly) are a mere 28 days away.
And I think that is one reason that football is so popular here in the South and especially the SEC – we really don’t have much else in July and August. By the time it gets to the first real week of games, we are salivating for a fix.
It’s coming and we think we know what games are must-see. Of course, you never know how things can change. Just ask [autotag]Dan Mullen[/autotag].
For this Dooley Dozen, let’s take a look at the 12 SEC games I can’t wait for. These are also the 12 games that will most likely decide which two teams are in Atlanta. So, we’re killing two birds with one ray gun (Mars Attacks reference).
