Somebody voted LSU into the 25th slot, just enough to make UT/LSU the only top 25 matchup in conference this weekend. I think "they" are trying to stir interest, but that being said, that makes it all the more surprising this game didn't get a primetime slot.
I'll go with: UT jumps on LSU early, eventually our defense makes adjustments and plays like the improved unit they are, and frustrates UT through most of the second half. LSU will play inspired at home and land a few blows on offense, but ultimately have too many problems to threaten a Vols defense rotating 12 linemen who they can't wear down, as with MSU, Auburn. The early slot will prevent too many people from seeing the humiliation, but LSU will still be soundly booted out of the rankings with a note that says "Don't call us, we'll call you."

Me and Mrs. DeTiger have to make a trip to north Texas this weekend to visit her grandmother in the nursing home and we'll probably miss both of our games
UGA/AU may be interesting, due to UGA's recent struggles and the rumors that Harsin is a dead man walking. That kind of chatter usually tends to inspire a team to close ranks and fight like hell, or else they check out and start losing
reeeal bad.

A&M/Bama....I kind of wish I could watch that just for the off-season story lines. I forget exactly what, but Saban and Jimbo had some words for each other about recruiting, or something.

Mizzou/Fla, UK/USC.....meh.
Maybe the game I'm most interested in is Arkansas/Clanga. Pigs are faltering after showing some promise and dropping a game to A&M they maybe should have won. Cowbells are not highly regarded, but so far keep finding ways to get it done. May be a good one.
