Last Week: 4-2
Overall: 32-11

TENNESSEE/ALABAMA
Can Tennessee compete with Alabama for an entire game? This question has been answered “no” by every team who has faced the Crimson Tide in 2009. I look for Alabama to take control of the game in the final minutes of the first half and control the ball and the clock in the second half. Tennessee has a strong defense but if Alabama can move the ball consistently, this game could get out of hand…FAST! For more details be sure to read my game preview.

WINNER: ALABAMA

ARKANSAS/OLE MISS
Arkansas has been playing solid football of late and the Rebels have been on a downward spiral. In my opinion Ryan Mallett is a better quarterback than Jevan Snead, and that will be the difference in this contest.

WINNER: ARKANSAS

VANDERBILT/SOUTH CAROLINA
South Carolina should win the game, but if they don’t, Steve Spurrier will quickly compose a list of inconsequential reasons why Vanderbilt cheated.

WINNER: SOUTH CAROLINA

LOUISIANA-MONROE/KENTUCKY
Following the win at Auburn, Kentucky gets a much deserved "cream puff" victory at home.

WINNER: KENTUCKY

AUBURN/LSU
After starting the season 5-0, the Auburn Tigers have slipped to 5-2 and the road is only getting more and more treacherous. The Auburn offense has been very mediocre of late and the defense has been average at best. Starting 5-0 means nothing if you can’t finish, and Auburn will once again learn another tough lesson in Baton Rouge. This game is not about how good LSU is, but how mediocre the Auburn Tigers have become.

WINNER: LSU

FLORIDA/MISSISSIPPI STATE
Can you hear the cow bells? The atmosphere for this contest should be electric as the Bulldogs will face the No. 1 team in the Coaches Poll, and the BCS standings. Emotion will play a factor in the early portion of the game and State may even make some unexpected plays, but unless the home fans intend on throwing cowbells AT the Florida players…the Gators should dominate.

WINNER: FLORIDA
