Last Week: 4-3
Overall: 28-9

SOUTH CAROLINA/ALABAMA
As I mentioned in my game preview, this contest has all the makings of an Alabama letdown. However, this team has too much to prove and too much to lose. The Crimson Tide will dominate the second half and leave the Gamecocks kicking up dirt.

WINNER: ALABAMA

ARKANSAS/FLORIDA
Tim Tebow appears to be healthy and the Arkansas defense appears to be better? As we all know…appearances can deceive. I look for a healthy Tim Tebow to roll over the Arkansas defense. Arkansas quarterback Ryan Mallett had a wonderful game against Auburn, but Florida is not Auburn. I look for Mallett to be running for cover just like he did against Alabama. Tebow and the Gators dominate!

WINNER: FLORIDA

KENTUCKY/AUBURN
Can the Auburn Tigers rebound after a loss? If you’re an Auburn fan, an injured Kentucky team is just what the doctored ordered. With injuries to quarterback Mike Hartline and defensive back Trevard Lindley, it would appear that Auburn will rebound nicely…even if the team plays poorly. Kentucky is banged up and the game is in Auburn. Anything can happen, but I’d be shocked if Auburn “tanked” for the second consecutive week.

WINNER: AUBURN

GEORGIA/VANDERBILT
Can Georgia win a football game? After a pounding at the hands of Tennessee I predict the Georgia Bulldogs will still be a little too tipsy to perform. In my upset of the week…

WINNER: VANDERBILT

UAB/OLE MISS
Jevan Snead needs a good game, and he also needs to start throwing the football to his own team. UAB will hang with the Rebels, but they’ll be happier with the check they’re receiving for coming to Oxford. Money wins every single time!

WINNER: OLE MISS

MISSISSIPPI STATE/MIDDLE TENNESSEE STATE
I look for the physicality of the Bulldogs to be too much. The Bulldogs are a joke, but they are better than Middle Tennessee State…at least I think?

WINNER: MISSISSIPPI STATE
