    Hello, and welcome to another addition of "THE SEC TODAY". As everyone should know by now, this is my blog where I break down all the SEC games that will be played tomorrow and predict a winner. I also state the SEC non-conference games and just predict a final score. My analysis might not be too detailed today, because I've had a cold all week and I'm really beginning to feel horrible again. Trying to get this done with as soon as possible, here I go:


#13 Georgia @ Auburn: Another early game for the Bulldogs, hopefully one that won't give UGA fans heart trouble like the one last week. I see this game as being a must-win for the Auburn Tigers if they are going to be bowl eligible and most likely a must-win to save Tommy Tuberville's job. For the most part, the road team has prevailed in recent games of the series. I predict that that trend will continue. FINAL SCORE UGA 23 AUB 13

#24 South Carolina vs #3 Florida: The Old Ball Coach heads back to the Swamp to try to beat his former team. I remember when Spurrier was hired at South Carolina that a lot of people (like my dad and grandad) said that the Gamecocks would be winning the SEC title about this time now. I think it's fair to say that his tenure has been a tad disappointing, with really his biggest win being against the Gators way back in '05. Spurrier's first two games against Florida produced great games, but last year's was a blowout. I believe that the Gamecocks will give Florida a good game, but in the end Tebow will prevail. FINAL SCORE SC 20 FLA 27

Mississippi State @ #1 Alabama: To me, this game just looks like a walk in the park for Bama as they near an undefeated regular season. The Bulldogs have been disappointing this year, currently holding a 3-6 record, meaning a loss to the Crimson Tide offically knocks them out of bowl contention. Sylvestor Croom is returning to his alma mater, currently holding a two game winning streak against the Red Elephants. Can they make it three games, can they ruin the BCS, can they make Bama fans cry??? In a word, NO! FINAL SCORE MISS ST 14 BAMA 24

Vanderbilt @ Kentucky: Have you heard Vandy's new fight song? It's "Free Falling". The Dores are on a 4 game losing streak, coming off a 28 point loss to Florida. Kentucky is coming off a heartbreaking 4 point loss to Georgia. Although the game ended with a L, there was a plus for the Wildcats: the emergence of QB Randall Cobb. I say Cobb runs wild on Vanderbilt, but the score will be closer than the game will appear to be. FINAL SCORE UK 27 VANDY 17

Non-Conference SEC Games:

UL-Monroe vs Ole Miss: ULM 17 MISS 31

Troy vs #19 LSU: LSU 31 TROY 14
