This is the quickie version, so sit back and enjoy the abbreviated weekly preview.<\/p>\n<p><b>Mississippi \u2013 Missouri<\/b><br \/>\nI do not like Mississippi, but I have to go for them for SEC pride.  If Ole Miss manages a decent rushing attack, they may be able to pull this one off, but if not, they are going down to a Big 12 team.  How bad is that?<\/p>\n<p><b>(4) Auburn \u2013 Mississippi State<\/b><br \/>\nCats and dogs do not mix, and the poor State Bulldogs are going to get the worst part of this mismatch.  Auburn by 21.<\/p>\n<p><b>Vanderbilt \u2013 Alabama<\/b><br \/>\nVanderbilt played Michigan well early, but in the end they did not have the talent on offense or enough depth to really challenge the Wolverines.  I expect this one to go pretty much the same way.  Alabama will Roll, Roll, Roll to victory. <\/p>\n<p><b>UCF \u2013 (7) Florida<\/b><br \/>\nWhile UCF may be a program on the rise, they do not stand a chance in this one.  Florida will win going away; close early, but expect the gap to exceed 28 points.<\/p>\n<p><b>Texas State \u2013 Kentucky<\/b><br \/>\nThe Wildcats are always candidates for the SEC Shame of the Week Award, but Kentucky should be able to manage this one.  Then again, Kentucky does suck.<\/p>\n<p><b>Arizona \u2013 (8) LSU<\/b><br \/>\nI do not think LSU is a Top 10 team, but they will have this one under wraps fairly early.  If not, this one will be a mild upset, but not as major as the guys on ESPN will make it out to be.  LSU is not high cotton material.  I will be seriously disappointed in a PAC 10 team puts a damper on my predictions. <\/p>\n<p><b>Utah State \u2013 Arkansas<\/b><br \/>\nArkansas will win, and all of hog-nation will think the USC game was an aberration.  Something like that.  Arkansas is the team I love to hate, but they will represent the SEC well with an easy victory.<\/p>\n<p><b>Air Force \u2013 (11) Tennessee<\/b><br \/>\nAn interesting match up, but do the Falcons really think they have a chance?  Tennessee\u2019s defense is going to be way too fast.<\/p>\n<p><b>(12) Georgia \u2013 South Carolina<\/b><br \/>\nGeorgia never plays well in Columbia, but the Dawgs have plenty of talent, and more depth than the Gamecocks.  I expect this one to be close for the first three quarters, before Georgia pulls away by 10.<\/p>\n<div class=\"addtoany_share_save_container addtoany_content_bottom\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_ addtoany_list a2a_target\" id=\"wpa2a_1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', 'https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share', '');\" class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save\"><img src=\"http:\/\/www.calvertgames.com\/cgblog\/wp-content\/plugins\/add-to-any\/share_save_171_16.png\" width=\"171\" height=\"16\" alt=\"Share\"\/><\/a>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\nif(wpa2a)wpa2a.script_load();\n\/\/--><\/script>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another glorious weekend is on the way for SEC football.
