Dawg83 Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 Ole Miss-Georgia: obviously a huge opportunity game for OM. Probably can’t win the West now but a win could keep them in the Top 4 conversation. I’ll be honest, I don’t think a night time kickoff does OM any favors. That place will be very rowdy. Georgia is more human than prior years, yes. But while I’ve been impressed by OM’s clutch genes in close games, I’m not sure I think they’re quite good enough to win a game like this. I have UGA winning and covering, 34-20. State-A&M: look, nothing is off the table when you’re dealing with two teams just about ready to fire their coach. Both teams also have QB health questions. Rumors from the State camp are that Parson is in line to start unless Rogers becomes available here at the last minute. I think this is another unpleasant one to watch. State covers but A&M wins 20-7. Tennessee-Missouri: feels like a true toss up, my gut says the Vols get the win. Bama-Kentucky: closer than anyone expects, but Bama by 7. Florida-LSU: LSU wins at home Michigan-Penn State: I’m calling for the Penn State upset, maybe I’ll actually be right this time. Michigan’s schedule so far has been pathetic, toughest test has been Rutgers at home. I like the Nittany Lions at home. Utah-Washington: interesting matchup for UW but I don’t think Utah can keep pace with their offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted November 9, 2023 Share Posted November 9, 2023 OM 31 Georgia 28 It’s hard to keep those streaks going and Georgia has been on one. This stretch of Missouri, OM and Tennessee will be the end of it. A&M 27 State 10 That’s all I have on this one. Bama over UK in a tough one. LSU over Florida. Missouri over Tennessee Michigan over Penn St Utah over Washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Ole Miss beats Georgia 30-21. It is just time for Georgia to lose. And Ole Miss is capable of being the team to do it. I have no idea about State & A&M. Both teams are not good. A&M is much less worse than State and as such should play much less worse than State. I will say A&M wins a very ugly defensive game 16-13. Bama wins solidly over Kentucky. 21-6. KY will play with emotion and hang in there for a while but Bama will be in no danger of losing this game. Florida comes off the mat to surprisingly beat LSU who just might let Alabama beat them twice. Florida 28, LSU 26. Tennessee beats Missouri who will be deflated after great effort at Georgia and won’t be able to sustain the same effort two weeks in a row. Arkansas keeps the momentum going and beats Auburn. 30-20. The only game that might be worse than the State/A&M game might be Vandy-SCAR. Again two teams that are at the bottom of the conference. SCAR is flat and Vandy pulls off the upset. 24-23. Michigan beats Penn State who has a good team but is not on the same level as Ohio State or Michigan. Washington beats Utah and again Utah is solid but Washington appears to be on another level this year. And I have been riding the AZ wave this year as that is going to be State’s best win this year barring something extreme happening over the next two weeks. AZ plays Colorado and they will continue Deon’s spiral. AZ 28, Colorado 20. I know they are about kick off but Lafayette beats Southern Miss in a tight non-defensive game. 42-38.

rebmus Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 If UGA and Ole Miss both play up to their potential, Georgia wins. I suspect both teams make a mistake or 3... should be a really great game unless one of the two makes mistakes while the other doesn't. Also... Georgia hosts. Smart money is on Georgia. (I've said all year Georgia loses 1 regular season game... it's pretty much down to Ole Miss this weekend or Tennessee next weekend... neither should overly surprise anyone). Georgia has been flirting with a loss all year, hopefully they'll get that loss this weekend. Battle of the hot seat coaches as mentioned... A&M is just too talented and MSU is just struggling. A&M is favored by 17, smart money is on A&M. UK hangs around with Bama for a while, but Bama pulls away. UT/Mizzou is a hard pick. I should go with Mizzou since they host, but going with UT. I have more faith in Auburn than Arkansas right now, so Auburn. South Carolina over Vandy I guess. I'm picking Penn State because they host, at least that's what I'm telling myself. It's quite possible I'm just rooting for chaos at the top and Muck Fichigan may well be playing a part. I'm rooting for USM but picking U LA LA. (It's 7-7 as I'm typing this so it's still ok to make this pick after kickoff?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Interesting end to the first half of the USM-LA game. It appeared LA scored on two different plays but neither time was a TD given by the officials. So it is 14-14 at the half and the Golden Eagles are very much in the game.

Bulldogs4 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 I was looking at that rivalry. ULL won the first 7 games but since 1932, USM is 40-4-1 against the Ragin Cajuns. That is total domination. Of course they have only played twice over the last fifteen years, three times counting tonight. But still it makes you wonder if they have a mental block where Southern Miss is concerned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 USM/U LA LA WAS tied at 21 until USM fumbled at the 7 yard line giving ULL the short field to take a 28-21 lead. Still almost 6 minutes left, we'll see how USM responds. Top25 upset alert, 2-7 Virginia leads #11 Louisville 24-17 with 6:46 to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebmus Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Louisville came back to win 31-24. Southern Miss tied it back and took the game to OT... picked up the win in OT 34-31. Congrats to USM and Will Hall. Southern Miss/Mississippi State next weekend. I don't think USM has much of a chance, but we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 USM wins in overtime and will travel to Starkville on a winning streak next week. I don’t think it will happen… But what if…. I think yall know where I’m going with this…. We are one USM upset away from the Egg Bowl being Lane Kiffin vs interim head coach Tony Hughes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldogs4 Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Great win for USM!!! Anything is possible but Southern beating State would be somewhat similar to App. State beating Michigan in 2007 or Maine beating State in 2004. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawg83 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 If Rogers is healthy I doubt USM is able to win. But if he’s not for some reason, all bets are off. State hasn’t scored 14 points in a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wcchaingang Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 Which Lane Kiffen shows up is the biggest question to me. If he calls the game tight like he has against Bama the past couple years Georgia wins easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MSTSatchmo Posted November 10, 2023 Share Posted November 10, 2023 OM needs a quick start which they’ve actually been good at this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg83 Posted November 10, 2023 Author Share Posted November 10, 2023 I feel similar to this game as I felt about Ole Miss vs Bama or Bama vs LSU. If it were in Oxford I’d be more tempted to pick OM. In Athens, I don’t love their chances. Ole Miss is good. I personally don’t believe they are 11-1 with a win in Athens good. But hey, they’ve got a chance to prove me wrong.

Dawg83 Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 Bama is smashing Kentucky, that will wrap up the West for them. After all the hand wringing early on, they’re still gonna go undefeated in SEC play (at least entering Atlanta). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSTSatchmo Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I thought Kentucky would put up a little fight at home. Bama keeps getting better each week. It’s not probable, but it’s possible if there are 3 undefeated teams from 3 P5 conferences and Texas has 1 loss and a Big12 championship that a 1 loss SECC might get left out because of that early Bama/Texas matchup. On another note, I didn’t realize that Penn State couldn’t throw a forward pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebmus Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Bama definitely is improving weekly. The Iron Bowl can be tricky, Auburn COULD beat Bama. That wouldn't matter in the West but would kill Bama's chances for the playoffs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rebmus Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) Mizzou up 29-7 with 6:21 to go. Unless Tennessee pulls a miracle comeback, Georgia clinches the East before even playing today. ETA: Shrader for Mizzou has put on a SHOW today. 205 rushing and 116 receiving yards. As I edited, pick 6 for Mizzou. UT getting romped.

Dawg83 Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 Georgia’s offense is man handling Ole Miss up front but the OM offense has kept them in the game so far. Meanwhile in College Station, tie game in the battle of 3rd string QB’s. State ran the opening kickoff back for a TD and has done nothing since.
