## Resource

Every SEC football team landed inside the Top 20 toughest schedules in college football — but where do the Alabama Crimson Tide and Auburn Tigers rank? On today’s live edition of The Next Round, we break down the brutal SEC football schedule landscape and debate which teams have the toughest road to the College Football Playoff. Plus, our annual 40-in-40 College Football Countdown continues as we reveal the first SEC team to make our Top 40! Which SEC program kicks off the countdown, and what does it say about expectations for the 2026 college football season? We also dive into the debut of college fantasy football and look at the highest-rated players from Alabama, Auburn, LSU and Georgia. Which SEC stars should fantasy football fans be targeting this season?
