Box to Box Films went down south to take a look at the schools in the Southeastern Conference.
A trailer was released for the series, titled SEC Football: Any Given Saturday, on Monday.
From what was shown in the trailer, LSU, Alabama, Vanderbilt, Florida, South Carolina, Auburn, and Texas A&M will feature prominently on the program.
The trailer also featured interviews with LSU head coach Brian Kelly, Florida quarterback Graham Mertz, and Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia.
Netflix‘s newest trailer was released to mixed opinions, with some fans showing excitement at the newest look at college football, and others being unhappy with the subjects of the show.
“Not that CFB needs any help attracting new fans, but I’m excited to see the reactions to this show,” one fan said.
“Oh my lawd hype me up,” another fan said.
“Inject this into my veins,” a third fan said.
“Nastiest propaganda in all of sports,” a fourth fan said.
“This conference is trying to ruin college football. Not watching,” a fifth fan said.
The biggest complaint from fans was how the SEC was seemingly portrayed as above other conferences in the trailer.
One line in the trailer said that SEC teams usually win the National Championship, which caused one fan to point out that the last two national champions — Michigan and Ohio State — hailed from the Big Ten.
In the CFP era, the SEC has won the National Championship six times.
The Big Ten and ACC have combined to win five times.

The documentary will focus on the 2024 college football season, notably the final season before players can be paid directly by the schools they play for.
Next season, the House Settlement will allow colleges to share up to $20.5 million a year with their athletes.
This money doesn’t go directly to college football though. It has to be spread across all of a college’s athletics.
That means sports like men’s and women’s basketball, baseball, and softball will all get a slice of the pie.
