13 misses this year and 5 of them are Georgia. Surely, they won't lose to Vandy right? We've got Arkansas at Auburn, Bama coming into a rebound game for the first time in two years, an energized South Carolina team travels to Kentucky, Mississippi State going into the swamp against Chris Rainey and the Gators and least (and last) LSU hosts McNeese State.
Vanderbilt at Georgia Georgia Mark Richt had his 11th player this year, arrested earlier in the week. Miami has had 1 player arrested in the last 4 years. Thanks, Georgia, Running back Caleb King will miss the next two games for Georgia and Vandy is playing pretty good football. Still, Aaron Murray and company should wear Vandy down. If Ealey and Thomas hold the football, Georgia wins.
South Carolina at Kentucky South Carolina Does anybody think Stephen Garcia will complete 85% of his passes this week? This is exactly where Champions are forged. Will South Carolina put Kentucky away, as they should, or will they be satisfied with beating Bama last week? Do you want to go to Atlanta or talk about going to Atlanta?
McNeese State at LSU LSU You don't really expect to to comment on this do you?
Mississippi State at Florida Florida I realize this is a prediction article and not an editorial but - no wait, this is a Blog, I can write whatever I damn well please. Urban Meyer allowed Chris Rainey to rejoin the team this week. Two weeks after being arrested for sending his ex-girlfriend a text message
which read "time to die b-tch." Coach Meyer has had 27 players arrested in 4 years. That's got to be some kind of record. So Jeffrey Demps must still be injured. The popular choice is to say that this one will be close. Not necessarily.
Ole Submissive at Alabama Alabama. Ole Miss fans let me tell you exactly how I feel about your new mascot. I hope Bama beats you 150,000 to nothing. Do you mind if I just call you "The Magnolia Blossoms?" You do? Too bad, cause I don't really care. I stopped laughing at ya'll a long time ago. Ole Miss DT Jerrell Powe was quoted earlier in the week as saying "Almighty Alabama got exposed last week because they are one dimensional." His own momma had the better quote-"Jerrell's a good boy, he just can't read." Stick that in your Rebel Black Bear.
Thirteenessee You know, because they had 13 men on the field against LSU. Yeah, it was funnier last week. Tennessee has the week off. We know that because they play Bama next week.
Arkansas at Auburn Arkansas Let's talk defense. Arkansas is 2nd in the SEC and 13th Nationally in scoring defense (15 points per game) and 19th Nationally in total defense. They average 3.4 sacks per game, 4th best in the Nation. Offensively I like future NFL'ers Ryan Mallett, DJ Williams, Joe Adams, Ronnie Wingo, Jr., Jarius Wright, Greg Childs and ex-NFL'er Bobby Petrino just a little better than I like Cam Newton and....wait, I'm thinking...
