Week 11

Arkansas @ South Carlina (11:00, CBS)- Not a great matchup, considering Arkansas quit 6 weeks ago. But the Ole Ball Coach has his team poised for back to back double digit win seasons for the first time in school history. South Carolina in a route.

Missouri @ Tennessee (11:21, SEC Network)- Your weekly edition of "Who Cares In The SEC"!!! Tennessee wins, but seriously, who cares?

ULL @ Florida (11:21, SEC Network)- Homecoming is mighty late for the gators. Should be a beat down if they've woken up from their pathetic performance last week.

Texas A&M @ Alabama (2:30, CBS)- Really the only game with any kind of substance in the SEC lineup this week. So many dynamics make this an intriguing game. Alabama is come off one of the most emotional wins in recent college football history. Can they get up to do it again, 2 weeks in a row? Well luckily they have the best coach in college football that doesn't allow let downs. On the other side of the ball, can Johnny Football continue to gash defenses in a way that is remarkable to watch? One columnist put it like this and I thought it was beautiful: "This will be a game of tag...and Alabama doesn't lose in the game of tag." Should be an exciting game, but the Tide roll yet again.


Mississippi State @ LSU (6:00, ESPN)- Two teams with identical records, but that's really the only similarity. The Tigers have 2 very respectable losses and truly thought they had the #1 in the nation, knocked off last week. The Bulldogs have 2 losses against 2 great teams, but the way in which they lost is very troubling. The defense has disappeared, and beyond Tyler Russell and Laderius Perkins, the offense is struggling as well. Death Valley is not the place to find yourself when you are struggling. I think this will be a sloppy game, with the best home field advantage in college football putting the Tigers on top.


Georgia @ Auburn (6:00, ESPN2)- A win for Georgia will wrap up the SEC East. So congrats to the Bulldogs. You'll win the East and be the team that gets Chizik fired. Thank you!!

Vanderbilt @ Ole Miss (6:00, ESPNU)- Two rebuilt programs under two great new coaches. I'm very excited to see how these 2 teams respond now that this game has some meaning. I just don't think Vanderbilt has the defense to stop this very electric offense by the Rebels. I'll take Ole Miss at home, gaining their bowl eligibility.

My Record For Predicting SEC Games
Week 1: 10-1
Week 2: 9-2
Week 3: 10-2
Week 4: 9-1
Week 5: 6-0
Week 6: 3-3
Week 7: 6-1
Week 8: 6-0
Week 9: 3-3
Week 10: 6-2
Overall: 68-15 (82%)

Other Games I'm Excited About

  • Oregon State @ Stanford (2:00, FOX)
  • Kansas State @ TCU (6:00, FOX)
  • Oregon @ California (9:30, ABC)
I'll leave you with this: As a passionate sports fan, I think there is absolutely no place for cheating on the field. This man should be fired and never be allowed to coach again. The man is scum and defines everything that is wrong with college football coaches.
