Arguably the Sooners' MVP in their playoff run this season, Sandell has been an invaluable weapon for a team that went 6-2 in SEC play.

The College Football Playoff bracket was revealed Sunday, Dec. 7. The first round games will be on campus sites. It'll be an All-SEC matchup in the first round when Alabama travels to face Oklahoma in the CFP.

You're not going to get everyone on an all-conference list, but some of these names being absent on 2025 All-SEC teams is questionable.

The SEC’s 16 head coaches voted on the SEC awards released Wednesday. Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia was named offensive player of the year. Texas A&M edge rusher Cashius Howell was named defensive player of the year. Oklahoma kicker Tate Sandell won special teams player of the year.

Oklahoma kept its hopes alive in the SEC race following a road upset at Alabama. Can the Sooners still make the conference title game?

Earning first-team All-SEC honors were defensive end R Mason Thomas, kicker Tate Sandell, and Punter Grayson Miller. Thomas finished tied for seventh in sacks this season with 6.5, but missed the final three games due to a quadriceps injury.

The conference is better off with one division, which has led to better matchups even if it means minor headaches.
