SEC Games This Weekend | College Football Lives Here

There are Five SEC Games This weekend, meaning only Ole Miss and Bama are off(They play each other next week). Here's my thoughts about each game and my picks. Note: Picks were made BEFORE SEASON STARTED

Game #1: South Carolina(4-2) vs Kentucky(4-1): Both of these teams can prove themselves with a win Saturday. South Carolina looked weak early, starting 2-2 including a win over Wofford that really didn't seem as big of a blowout as it should have been. Kentucky was surprising everyone, starting 4-0 until last Saturday's loss to Alabama, a game that they have a great chance of winning. This game will be a good one, but some will be shocked at who (I think) the winner will be.

My Pick: South Carolina wins a game that was close throughout. I say the final score will be the Gamecocks 24, Wildcats 14

Game #2: #13 Vanderbilt(5-0) vs Mississippi State (1-4): These two teams traded places from my predictions to reality. I thought that the Bulldogs had a good chance to be an underdog this year, and would be an improved team that could fight for the SEC West. I also thought that Vanderbilt would struggle once again and finish the season with a dismal 3-9 record. Had I made my picks say today, they would probably be different. But I go by my rules, so my pick in a giant upset.

My Pick: Mississippi State is the home team in this one, and I think it will be a big help as they control the ball all game long. Vandy will try to fight back late, but to no avail. Final Score Mississippi State 30, Vanderbilt 20

Game #3: Tennessee(2-3) vs #10 Georgia (4-1): Tennessee has been an embarrassment this year, losing two games that they should have one and another that could have been closer if a certain someone wasn't a butterfingers. The Vols are coming off a 13-9 win over Northern Illinois,(yes, the same team that went 2-10 last year, including a loss to Southern Illinois) a win that proves that Tennessee is struggling. People are now calling for Phillip Fulmer's job once again, and this year might be the final time they ever do so. Georgia is coming off a bye-week and are looking to try to beat the Vols for the first time since 2005.

My Pick: Not-So-Fun Fact: The visitor in this game has won 4 of the last 5 games. I hate to say this, but I think it will be 5 of 6 after Saturday's game. The win will rid Fulmer of the pressure from the media and the Vols' fans, and it might help them rebound to make a bowl. This game will also eliminate the Dawgs' chances of the championship game and Knowshon Moreno winning the Heisman this year. Final Score Tennessee 27, Georgia 14

Game #4: Arkansas (2-3) vs #20 Auburn (4-2): Arkansas is pathetic this year, winning both of their wins by a combined 5 points. Auburn has been a competitive team this year, with both of their losses being by a combined total of 6 points. Arkansas travels to Jordan-Hare Stadium for this one, and let's just say most of them will wish they won't ever have to come back.

My Pick: Auburn will dominate this low-scoring game. Arkansas's defense will contain the Tigers a bit, but the Razorbacks will still lose. Final Score Arkansas 3, Auburn 13

Game #5: #4 LSU (4-0) vs #11 Florida (4-1): This will be the game of the week, as the Gators try to prove that the loss to Ole Miss was just a fluke and that they can still compete for the National Championship. Meanwhile, the Tigers want to show they have what it takes to be ranked #1 and hold that position throughout the year. Whoever wins this game deserves to move up at least a couple of spots in the polls.

My Pick: In my eyes, this one's a toss up. It's in the Swamp, so that leads me to say that Florida wins this barn-burner. Final Score LSU 24, Florida 27

I agree, Georgia wins this one. I look for an almost perfect game played by the dawgs. Little to no penalties and a smart game plan by Richt.

Georgia 31
Tenn 10

i think you are utterly reatarded. Tennessee will not beat UGA. It just wont happen. Tennessee is just horrible. there is no other way to say it. If they only managed 13 points against Northern Illinois, how do you think they will fare agaisnt UGA?
