Well if there’s one thing we can be sure of with the 2026 college football season, it’s that the budding rivalry between the Big Ten and SEC is only going to get more intense.At SEC media days recently, several prominent figures spent lengthy press conferences telling anyone who would listen that the SEC deserves all 16 teams in the College Football Playoff. In fact, maybe they’d consider inducting an honorary 17th member if necessary, just to ensure a fair assessment of strength of schedule.Lane Kiffin, Steve Sarkisian and Greg Sankey all were at the very top of their high horses, explaining that SEC teams are automatically superior, even if they lose more games and play poorly against bad teams, and that the College Football Playoff selection committee has not shown the conference the proper respect.PERCEPTION IS REALITY, AND THE SEC NEEDS TO START WINNING AGAIN BEFORE IT CONTINUES TO PUFF OUT ITS CHESTLost in all these comments is the inconvenient truth that the SEC has not earned that respect by winning more games against other Power Four teams in the playoff than it has lost. But thankfully for them, Illinois Fighting Illini head coach Bret Bielema is here to remind…

The TOPS releases continue to flow, much like a river – and, hey, wouldn’t you know it, the name of a new release from the Idaho-based company is called the River Rat! What a coincidence. The River Rat was designed with space saving in mind, and is a little knife that handles like a full-size one. TOPS and collaborator Julio Diez call the River Rat’s blade shape a modified sheepsfoot, and it’s easy to see the hallmarks of that profile here: the snub nose and wide profile in particular. However, whereas the standard sheepsfoot runs straight out, the Rat’s modified take curves up, which gives that snub nose piercing capability andturns the straight edge into a curvy, full-bellied slicer, ready for a wide range of cutting chores both in- and outdoors. The steel used here is 154CM, a full stainless which, in conjunction with a textured black blade coating, allows the River Rat to keep the corrosion at bay even when it’s on or near the water. The River Rat is a small knife with a full-sized handle Diez settled on the River Rat’s blade shape and size very purposefully. While small, it offers the user a high level of…
