Dawg83 Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:43 PM (edited) Off week for State and USM played on a Tuesday for some reason, so the Rebels are the only in-state team to watch this weekend. Ole Miss at Vandy - side rant, as someone who grew up in the era where Ole Miss vs Vandy was annually one of the weirdest games of every college football season, it is a dang shame we never got Pavia era Vandy vs Kiffin era Ole Miss. Those games would have been ridiculous. Anyway, OM a 10 point road favorite in this one. As tempting as it is to convince yourself this one could get weird, my understanding is that Vandy has had some QB injury issues and I expect Ole Miss will be more locked in for a game like this after Florida embarrassed them. I don’t think Vandy will be able to keep up with OM’s offense. I have the Rebels winning 45-24. Georgia at Bama - sounds like this game could get moved and at best it’s going to be played in some weather. I think Bama has finally arrived under DeBoer, I have them winning this one by a TD. LSU at UK - I do not trust Sam Leavitt. I do not trust him in a box, I do not trust him with a fox. I do not trust him here or there, I do not trust him anywhere. I do not trust him when the weather is mucky, I do not trust him at Kentucky….. The Cats score the big home upset and put LSU’s playoff standing in jeopardy early. Texas A&M at Mizzou - stinky line here, Mizzou only a three point home favorite. That concerns me because I think Mizzou is winning this game easily. I am not high on A&M in the least. Texas vs OU - I feel like this one could get weird. Something about UT’s offense looks off and OU can play defense. I have the Horns winning an ugly game something like 17-12. South Carolina at Florida - you’re crazy if you pick SC right now. Tennessee at Arkansas - you’re even crazier if you pick Arkansas right now.

DrownInEtown Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM Share Posted Saturday at 03:46 PM (edited) Ole Miss -9.5 @ Vandy: Won’t be surprised if this is close. The Louisville win and Florida loss haven’t aged well. I can’t pinpoint how good Ole Miss is yet. But, I believe OM’s concerning run defense is better suited for Vandy’s style. Offensively Ole Miss needs to find ways to reduce Kewan’s usage. He’s not Derrick Henry. He’s 5’11 205. Get the backup more involved, he’s not Kewan but he’s solid. Ole Miss wins a sloppy one 21-17 Georgia @ Bama(-2.5): Both teams are legit. Georgia isn’t going to bully Bama in the trenches like they did last year. Deboer & co have done a phenomenal job in evaluating the new guys they’ve brought in. Even if you stuff Bama’s run game, they have a Heisman QB with elite weapons, and a few more coming off the bench. I take Bama winning just off the offensive firepower alone 35-28 LSU -9.5 @ Kentucky: I think Kentucky is a good ball club. Sam Leavitt is already untrustworthy, and now he’s going on the road into a pumped up crowd. If there’s an upset this week, this would be it. I’m still going to take LSU to win, but Kentucky covers the spread. LSU 28-24 SC @ Florida -10.5: This game could get weird. You rarely ever see good teams with first year head coaches be consistent, as shown last week. Beamer is fighting for his life at this point. Florida OC Buster Faulkner will likely be playing against his first head coaching job next year. Florida 35-28 A&M @ Mizzou -4??????? Vegas is onto something. I wouldn’t touch this game with a 10 ft pole. I have Mizzou 28-14, but there may be some black magic here Tennessee -13.5 @ Arkansas: Blowout here. Tennessee rushes for 250+ and wins 42-14 Texas (-7.5) @ Oklahoma: This could be weird too. Muschamp has the best defense in the nation, and the Mateer led Sooners are pitiful offensively. Texas wins in a low scoring slugfest 14-7 Also, if you love football, get a peak of the Northwestern Wildcats. Chip Kelly ran the Wing-T against Penn State and rushed for 413. They also played Indiana tough. America’s team! Edited Saturday at 03:56 PM by DrownInEtown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrownInEtown Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Share Posted Saturday at 08:10 PM Florida is about to go from #8 to likely 4 straight losses. They travel to Texas next week and have Georgia following a bye week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 09:33 PM Wow. Did not have SC blowing out Florida in Gainesville on my bingo card. Also, if there was any doubt that Vandy was back to being the Vandy we all remember….. holy moly this first half against OM. Good showing by the Rebels, clearly. That Mizzou game next week is huge.

Bulldogs4 Posted Saturday at 11:48 PM Share Posted Saturday at 11:48 PM Just goes to show that anything can happen on a Saturday in the SEC. Not totally surprised by SC. They have played some good football, just have not been able to finish. Today they finished with an exclamation point. Oklahoma winning is definitely not a surprise. That game has a way of being wacky especially when one team sucks and the other team is good. Arkansas gave TN a run but the way they ended the game was horrible. You have two minutes and three time outs and you throw three straight passes and PUNT. Why not run the ball? Tennessee was inviting them to run the ball. But at the very least you gotta go for it on fourth down. Missouri and Mississippi held serve and we will see what happens with LSU-KY and Bama-Jawja.

rebmus Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:08 AM Lots of fun games today. Kentucky beating LSU in OT was a great watch after the Ole Miss win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 03:13 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:13 AM Kentucky beats LSU in OT. Awesome game. Will Stein has gotta be the frontrunner for SEC coach of the year right now. Georgia beats Bama in Tuscaloosa. Big win for UGA. Maybe Kirby has finally shaken his Bama bugaboo. What a wacky day in the league. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Author Share Posted yesterday at 03:14 AM Also it just occurred to me that State is going to be playing in Tiger Stadium next Saturday probably as the higher ranked team. How crazy is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 03:32 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:32 AM Kiffin losing makes the weekend just a bit better. Georgia with a heck of a win at Bama. Just a very interesting day all the way around. State @ LSU becomes an interesting match up. If we were fully healthy, I would like our chances but as it stands now, I just don’t think it will happen. How LSU responds will be something to watch as well. How this week goes before this game will be something to watch. Missouri-Ole Miss may be an elimination game with respect to the playoff. We will see.

MSTSatchmo Posted yesterday at 03:57 AM Share Posted yesterday at 03:57 AM I don’t want to hear any Bama fans saying they got screwed after what the rest of the league has had to suffer through for years against them (but they had some bad calls). UF was a top 10 teams two weeks ago. LSU has been all defense and KY had them confused the whole second half. Oklahoma with a huge win. Congrats on their offense for that one TD that helped win the game 27-24. Missouri vs OM next week is a huge game. Wasn’t expecting that after State gave Missouri an L. Very entertaining weekend.

Bulldogs4 Posted yesterday at 04:40 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:40 AM Bama had some bad calls but for 70 years they have gotten all the calls. Georgia dominated the LOS and was the better team. KY-LSU was a fun game to watch tonight as well!!! Happy that SC got the win after the heartbreak of last Saturday. SEC is a muddled mess right now.

DrownInEtown Posted 23 hours ago Share Posted 23 hours ago Bama and Georgia looked like an early 2010s matchup from a physicality standpoint. Despite the bad call, Georgia seemed to be the better team last night. Bet we'll get that game again this year. IMO the 2 best teams in the nation right now.

Could easily be the SEC title game and the national title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted 22 hours ago Author Share Posted 22 hours ago (edited) Will be 9 vs 13 in Oxford next weekend. And will be 16 vs 22 in Baton Rouge…. And 16 is not LSU. lol. I can’t imagine anyone in America pegged that a month ago. Granted, LSU is currently like an 11 or 12 point favorite, but still.

Bulldogs4 Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago (edited) I do not bet but trying to pick games based on the betting odds is an uneducated guess at best. LSU is a 12 1/2 point favorite over State and I have no idea about how that game may go. Ole Miss is a 6 point favorite on Missouri which sounds about right. Still I would not touch it either way.

Dawg83 Posted 21 hours ago Author Share Posted 21 hours ago I just know you can talk yourself into circles by comparing results among all these teams. If you go by the transitive property, State has transitive wins over Texas and Ohio State already. lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hasbeen67 Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago One thing about the NIL era, once the season starts, a lot of the players haven't gotten what they came for. That may be some of what we see with LSU and Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
