Herbie J Pilato

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.

While Nick Saban and Lane Kiffin might cringe at the thought of “rat poison,” we embrace it. After all, it gives us something juicy to talk about as we countdown to the college football season in two weeks. The AP Preseason Poll dropped on Monday, and—surprise, surprise, —Georgia and the SEC have targets on their backs heading into the 2024 season. So, grab your popcorn and that rat poison because while coaches sweat over players reading their headlines, fans are busy bragging about how their conferences are just built differently. It’s what makes college football so entertaining. And if the ACC can boast about all those Olympic medals (RIP Pac-12), we’re here to stir the pot by diving into the AP Preseason Poll, SEC-style.
