And with good reason.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">By my count, fans from only three of the 14 SEC teams are feeling good about their programs at the moment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Alabama has won 24 games in a row and headed toward a possible fifth national championship in eight years. That&#8217;s reason to be happy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Vanderbilt beat the Champions of Life to claim the champions of Tennessee title. The Commodores are going bowling after an impressive finish with wins over Ole Miss and Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">And Kentucky set the stage for a happy bowl trip by beating 26-point favorite Louisville Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">But the rest of the SEC? Sad.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Auburn has lost six in a row to Alabama and Georgia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Florida is in the SEC title game again but was handled by Florida State Saturday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Georgia lost to Tennessee, Florida and now Georgia Tech at home in Kirby Smart&#8217;s first year.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">South Carolina was blown out by in-state Clemson.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Texas A&amp;M lost its last four SEC games.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">In the state of Mississippi, Dan Mullen&#8217;s Bulldogs won at Ole Miss, but they are still only 5-7. The Rebels are now the best seven-loss team in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">Things will get better eventually, but for now, it&#8217;s mostly a sad time to be a fan of an SEC team.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #212121;\">For Threaded Fasteners, I&#8217;m Randy Kennedy with Nuts and Bolts of the Game.<\/p>\n<!--[if lt IE 9]><script>document.createElement('audio');<\/script><![endif]-->\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-261634-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NutsBolts112816.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NutsBolts112816.mp3\">http:\/\/wnsp.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/NutsBolts112816.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>We should probably wait until after the bowl games to decide if the SEC is really down this season.
