SEC Breakdown

    14. Kentucky- They are starting to give up completely. Can Stoops rally to find a few wins?

    13. Vanderbilt- They have lost all confidence. If Franklin isn't careful he might lose the season.

    12. Tennessee- The Vols caught Georgia at the perfect time. Coming off a huge emotional win, the Dawgs just weren't all there. Tennessee deserves a lot of credit though, fought hard til the very end.

    11. Mississippi State- A decent first half performance by the Dawgs but they just aren't prepared to keep up in a shoot out like LSU prefers. Too much youth on the field. This QB "controversy" is slowly starting to take shape. That's all I'll say about that...

    10. Ole Miss- Something just isn't right with this Rebs team. We all knew the defense would be really shaky, but the offense is starting to disappear. Wallace seems lost in the pocket, where in the first few games he had all kinds of confidence. Their remaining games are all in the state of Mississippi but if they don't find this thing quickly, the Rebs fight be scratching and clawing to find a way into a bowl game.

    9. Arkansas- Still a ways to go with this team. Much improved but the talent just isn't there.

    8. Missouri- Finally starting to bye into this team. Their offense is really fun to watch. They are about to face some quality opponents, so we'll see what they are made of then.

    7. Auburn- I still can not figure this team out. They are so boring, but quietly they are 4-1. The verdict is still out.

    6. South Carolina- I have nothing to add to my statement from the last 3 weeks...

    5. Florida- DEFENSE!! It will keep them in every game they play. They are slowly starting to find a little offense. If they find it, look out.

    4. Texas A&M- Bye week.

    3. LSU- After a tough emotional loss, the Tigers went on the road and did what they were suppose to do. It wasn't pretty, but a win is a win in the SEC.

    2. Georgia- Credit Georgia for finding a way to win a close game in Knoxville after a HUGE, emotional win.

    1. Alabama- The Tide walk away injury free...

    Week 6

    Georgia State @ Alabama (11:21, SEC Network)- Pray for Georgia State...

    Georgia @ Tennessee (2:30, CBS)- Might be competitive early, but Georgia is too good on both sides of the ball. Should end up a 3 touchdown ball game.

    LSU @ Mississippi State (6:00, ESPN)- The Mississippi State crowd will keep the bulldogs in the game for a while, but eventually that electric Tiger offense will come to life. State won't be able to keep up with the amount of points scored. I'll take LSU by 2 touchdowns.

    Arkansas @ Florida (6:00, ESPN2)- Arkansas, while improved, isn't ready to go to the Swamp and win. Florida by 10.

    Ole Miss @ Auburn (6:00, ESPNU)- Auburn is terrible and Ole Miss is upset after the worst performance under second year head coach, Hugh Freeze. With this recipe, I'm taking the Rebs by 17.

    Missouri @ Vanderbilt (6:30, CSS)- May be the best match up in the SEC all day. Two similar teams. Mizzou's offense is finally come to life, and that will get them a big road win. I'm taking the Tigers by a touchdown.

    Kentucky @ South Carolina (6:30, FSN)- I predict last week was a wake up call for the Gamecocks. This one will get ugly...

    This past week, my most hated coach in all of football was fired in the most embarrassing of ways. Lane Kiffin was true scum and exemplifies everything that is wrong with college football. I was so excite to hear the news. With that said, here is the best "Kiffin Face" I could find:

      Things Shaping Up



      14. Kentucky- They kept things interesting for awhile against the Gators, but they are still several athletes away to play 4 quarters with the big boys. 

      13. Tennessee- They struggled. But a win is a win...right?? For this team that is being rebuilt, it sure is.

      12. Missouri- A gut check for the Tigers in the first half, but they came out to play in the second half. Mizzou continues to impress. The meat of the schedule is slowly approaching. We'll see what they're made of.

      11. Vanderbilt- A solid performance against a sneaky good team. Defense still has to find a way to get off the field quicker.

      10. Arkansas- Who is this team? I still can't read who they are. If they can play with the sense of urgency they did Saturday the rest of the year, they'll be tough team to beat.

      9. Mississippi State- Bye week.

      8. Auburn- Bye week.

      7. Ole Miss- The fears and concerns I had about the Rebs came to fruition Saturday. This team is so young and going on the road to Bryant-Denney Stadium is just too big of a task to overcome when there is so much youth on one team. This team has to find some kind of consistent running game if they wanna compete in the SEC. I still think they are heading in the right direction for the future.

      6. Florida- They took care of things on the road in the SEC with a backup QB. That's about all that can be said.

      5. South Carolina- This team still doesn't care and until they do, they will continue to struggle with everyone, including scrub team like USF.

      4. Texas A&M- Aggies found themselves on the road and in a dog fight. They played so poorly. But to get a win showed a lot about their character.

      3. LSU- Tigers were there unitl the end and couldn't close the deal. This defense struggled which is so unlike an LSU team. The defensive line really struggled to get any kind of pressure on the QB. Very impressed with the offense, but defenses win games in this league.

      2. Georgia- The Dawgs continue to roll. This was a gutsy performance by the Dawgs. It's very rare in the SEC, with two historically defensive programs, to get into this kind of shootout. They refused to lose control of this game. And when the defense needed to step up and make a play, they did just that. Don't be surprised at all if we see the Dawgs in the SEC Championship game and maybe even the National Championship.

      1. Alabama- A decent performance by a team that seemed to not respect their opponent. We have yet to see the Tide's best performance. They are so much better than we saw Saturday, which is terrifying.
