I'm coming off (back?) from I think my worst week ever....
Mizzou at Tenn - Could be ugly, Vols 47-17.
LSU at Arky - I'm tempted to call for a hangover game, but LSU wins late 34-30.
Vandy at UK - Vandy will not win one this year going out, UK 37-13.
Bama at Ole Miss - Bama pulls it out late this time, 41-33.
USCe at Florida - Gators seem to be OK, USCe is less OK, UF wins 31-24.
UGA at Miss State - I called this as an upset preseason, but am changing my mind, but tough, UGA prevails late 27-21
A&M at Auburn - Teams both needing a win, I'll go with Auburn, 24-18, and seats starts to get hot.

Ark just lost to Liberty. They’re also one of our 3 wins this season. In other words, they’re really bad.
LSU is not so far removed from a bad season they will let this one slip. I think they’re going to jump all over them and not let up the gas.
Look for a 45-10 type of score.
-
A&M vs Auburn. One has an interim coach, the other has a should be lame duck coach.
At this point it really makes no difference who wins. I doubt I will even watch.
I will say that Weigman is much better than King. The defense puzzles me the most. We can’t get all three phases of the game going in the same game yet.
-
I think it makes some difference at Auburn, and probably a L for A&M would make their situation even worse. A W for A&M won't make much better though. Auburn I think is looking for some measure of redemption with the interim, so it's not as if his job is on the line.
-
If any of you ever repeat this, I'll deny it, but it makes me happy to see Cadillac Williams calling the shots for AU on the sidelines. They love him around there and he loves Auburn. He's the Kevin Faulk of Auburn, and I mean that in all the best ways.
-
I was glad to see it also, I think he's a class guy.

Kelly has been very good at Notre Dame in November. You have to go back a long time for a late season loss, excepting bowl games when they've run into superior talent. Generally LSU hasn't lost focus when they get past Alabama and are in control for the west.
That said, LSU still has serious problems and it's not a given that they're definitely the better team. Arkansas has been dealing with injuries to their QB, who pretty much is their offense. How he's faring this weekend might seal their fate one way or the other.
It may tell us something about what to expect from Kelly's teams, how they handle all this. Early morning kickoff, cold weather, away from home, coming off a big win, opponent with nothing to lose, etc. All the classic signs of a trap game. We'll see how it goes.

I'll just leave this here >:(

Vegas is amazing.
-
I did better, of course not seeing the Vandy win at all. I don't know what happened to UK. I figured they must have lost the TO battle, but they won it 2-1 and were outgained by Vandy.
weird.
So, the Dawgs visit UK this weekend and I guess now I don't expect much of a fight, the Dawgs seem businesslike.

You've angered the ECFGs and have ensured UGA's downfall.

Almost did it again.
Doesn't really matter if LSU were a good team....in the past 20 years 13 games between Ark and LSU have been decided by a TD or less. I think that's especially true @Arkansas, I'd have to check. I don't know why, you can count on Arkansas to give LSU a hard time, like clockwork. In this case it's much easier to assess, of course.....the Hawgs aren't as bad as their record indicates and LSU is not exactly hot stuff.
If not for an outstanding day from Perkules, LSU doesn't win that game.

Along with most Tiger fans (purple and gold variety) I watched the Bama/Ole Miss game with interest. Watching all three teams play on Saturday, it's hard to believe LSU beat the other two. I don't think I've ever seen a hotter mess bumble their way to a division title. OTOH, there was the part where Ole Miss fans boo'd an Alabama offensive lineman who went down after a play that moved the chains.....because they thought he was faking it?? It doesn't get any more Ole Miss than that. I hate those guys.
The scene at Auburn was pretty memorable. You don't often see that kind of excitement and enjoyment from a crowd who's coach got fired and who's season tanked. Cadillac is not a guy you'd hand the keys to the car, but you can't help but root for him during the interim.
Ugh. Now I have to go wash my mouth out with soap.
-
Maybe LSU is on a mission and believes?
-
Pfft.
Belief will make for some good team morale, and it might even power them past Texas A&M on their field*, but it won't do any good when UGA gets on the field. Harsh reality will set in and I will be vindicated.
*....who I'm still going to pick. Dammit, this is not a good team and the logic-defying nonsense has got to end sooner than later. At this point I'd pick against LSU out of sheer stubbornness. Somebody will prove me right in the end....if it's not A&M then Georgia will. A depleted Arkansas almost did it, but no, because they squeaked out a win on a one-man show, the "LSU's resurgence" narrative continues.
-
I will pick them this week against UAB, in case anyone thinks I've just got too big a case of anti-homerism.

I mean really the proof's in the puddin'. Bama almost lost to what, 4 teams now, and two of those were really bad. OK, one is really bad (A&M), and the other is not good (UTex). You beat Ole Miss soundly, beat everybody else except what appears to be a rejuvenated UTenn team. You're in the SEC championship game no matter what. Why not just take a good thing on face value? To my knowledge OM has never been in the SEC CCG, neither has A&M, and Miss St has been once.
Maybe it's just possible BK is a really good coach, and LSU has some really good talent, and has played well? Enjoy it while it lasts.
-
Glad OM and Kiffen lost. I have no issues with OM per se, but I can't stand Kiffen.
-
I think "we" often like boring coaches who speak coach speak unless they are REALLY clever like SOS. Kiffen wants to be like SOS but isn't. Ole Miss did seem to do better than expected though. I still don't understand how UK could lose to Vandy.
I sometimes snooze through Smart's pressers, he's as boring as anyone. It's a good thing. They could send out two written paragraphs mostly about the health of players and be done with it.
-
WTF Tennessee? Way to shut the bed. Were they missing a lot of key players or something? Weird.
-
Glad to see Kiffin get his arse handed to him.

Meant to post in week 12.
