A later-than-normal stroll around the SEC:

Gentry Estes of The Mobile Press-Register takes an interesting look at what it's like for Alabama's Julio Jones living in the glare.
Avoiding another late-season collapse is job. No. 1 for South Carolina, writes Joe Person of The State newspaper.
Florida coach Urban Meyer deflects talk of a skirmish between Brandon Spikes and Tim Tebow following the Mississippi State game.
Jeff Schultz of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution says Meyer went soft on Spikes with only a half-game suspension for the Vanderbilt game.
Tennessee has lost its second middle linebacker for the season. Dave Hooker of The Knoxville News-Sentinel reports that Savion Frazier tore his ACL against South Carolina and will miss the remainder of the season.
The Alabama-LSU rivalry is still about the coaches, writes Glenn Guilbeau of Gannett Louisiana Newspapers.
Auburn's Zac Etheridge is expected to make a full recovery from his scary neck injury against Ole Miss, but his future in football remains uncertain.
MRI results confirm Larry Smith's hamstring tear, and the Vanderbilt sophomore quarterback will miss the remainder of the season.
