My computer time has been short this week. I guess there really isn't too much to talk about this week Auburn-related anyway. Watson Brown is coming to town!
What is this, opening week? The SEC has four out of conference games this week against two Sun Belt schools, and two 1-aa schools. At least Troy has a winning record. Anyway, here are my picks.
East
Florida vs. Vandy - If I told you two things about this game, "One team is coming off of two heartbreaking losses, and the other is coming off of two big wins," and then told you that the teams were Florida and Vanderbilt, you would probably guess that Florida had just beaten their last two opponents. Then after I revealed to you that you're wrong, you would probably argue that Miami (OH) isn't a big win, but any win over a D1 opponent is big for the Commies. Yeah, this has nothing to do with the game. Florida will win easily.
UF 34 - VU 10
Georgia vs. Troy - This has all the makings of an upset. Georgia finally played with a real sense of urgency last week. Now, they play a game that's hard to get excited about. They'll win, but it'll be sloppy.
UGA 28 - Troy 21
Tennessee vs. Louisiana-Lafayette - The Cajuns beat North Texas earlier this year. So they've got that going for them, which is nice. But they're ranked 112 in scoring defense. Teams are averaging 37.8 points per game against them. Can you guess what team scored the least points against them this year? *Look to the bottom of this post for the answer.
UT 42 - ULL 17
Kentucky - Off
West
LSU vs. Bama - This one's tough to pick. LSU's defense can get to the quarterback, and SJPW seems to make stupid decisions when under pressure. I don't think Bama's defense compares to Auburn's, and look what LSU did to them in the second half. On the other side of the coin, Bryant-Denny Restaurant is going to be electric tomorrow night. When it comes down to it, LSU is more talented than any team Bama has faced this year...by a long shot.
LSU 31 - Bama 17
Auburn vs. Tennessee Tech - Auburn will be short several players for this one. I'm sure Tuberville won't even go vanilla in this one. It'll be watered down plain on offense. Even so, easy running for the Tigers.
AU 34 - TTU 0
Arkansas vs. USC - I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that Arkansas is going to get their first SEC win tomorrow...Ole Miss doesn't count.
Ark 28 - USC 17
MSU - Off
Ole Miss vs. Northwestern State - If it wasn't for a pesky scheduling error, the Rebs would be undefeated in their out of conference games this year. Seriously, you know they meant to schedule Southwestern Missouri Commonwealth Polytechnical College for the Deaf-Branson instead of Mizzou. Someones head will roll for this.
OM 34 - NWS 10
*answer: South Carolina - Yeah, I actually forgot to answer this!
