SEC Preview (Week 9)

Another glorious weekend of SEC football is on the plate.  Well, except for the glorious part.  Tennessee/South Carolina looks like a decent game, with an interesting Spurrier/Fulmer backdrop, and Georgia/Florida always makes for a good story line.  The only problem is that neither game shapes up to be much of a contest.

Last week I was a perfect 6-0, which brings the total to 51-11 on the year.  On to the picks…

(7) Auburn – Mississippi
It would be safe for one to assume that the Tigers will crush Tommy’s former team.  This is really not much of a match up, and no chance for Ole Miss to get up for this one and pull some sort of upset along the lines of the Arkansas debacle.

Kentucky – Mississippi State
In a clash of too bad teams, the Wildcats will pull even to 4-4 on the year, while the pitiful Bulldogs will continue their lackluster (dare I say embarrassing) showing this year.  I wonder how much longer Sylvester Croom is going to be given to turn this puppy around.

(8) Tennessee – South Carolina
I think some people are going to think there will be some sort of Spurrier factor in this one, but the truth of the matter is that the Gamecocks are far, far away from having talent to match the guys in orange.  If South Carolina does pull off the upset, we will have to debate if Spurrier is really a genius or if Fulmer is a fool.

Vanderbilt – Duke
Vanderbilt pulls one step closer to .500 (and a bowl bid), while Duke continues their run of ineptitude.

Florida International – Alabama
Nothing like a healthy dose of a cupcake to get the Tide’s offense rolling, rolling, Roll Tide!

Louisiana-Monroe – (13) Arkansas
Another piss-poor game on the SEC slate.  Not sure why they bother to schedule these things, but they do, so souie!

Georgia – (9) Florida
Another year, another loss to the Gators.  I think the line is about 13, but I have a nasty feeling in my stomach (and I am not talking about the chips and coke-rum from last night), that the results are going to be more like 13-34 in favor of the bad guys.  One can always hope for an upset, but that seems highly unlikely.  But one can hope.

Go Dawgs!
