Purdue @ Mizzou

Arky - off mercifully
Mercer @ AU
LSU @ MSST

ULL @ A&M
Not much to whet the appetite this weekend. The Gators vs. Vols game is a shadow of its former self. Word is they could play the game at Mercedes Benz Stadium if the can get the soccer game moved. Otherwise it could be played at the former Turner Field. I'll probably watch the Gamecocks for a little while and see if Muschamp's offense is legit. That Vandy-KSU match is tricky as the Wildcats haven't played anyone of note yet.
Tennessee over Florida (but UT usually screws up the obvious)
Georgia over Samford (new QB gains confidence)
South Carolina over Kentucky (but these are the kind of games that the Gamecocks have struggled to win)
Missouri over Purdue (This game will be close, but only if the Missouri D finds a pulse. The Missouri offense is the better of the two units)
Kansas State over Vandy (in a close one because Snyder always gets more out of his 3 stars than anybody else)
Bama over Colorado State (big)
Auburn over Mercer (big but ugly and worthlessly. Gus will run the same plays that work over and over again and work on nothing that needs to be improved)
Miss State over L.S.U. (because it is in StarkVegas and because Miss State is a very solid team that will beat Arkansas, A&M, Ole Miss, and possibly Auburn, and because L.S.U. always believes its own headlines).
Ole Miss over Cal. (because nobody expects them to do anything and Cal has a suspect defense).
A&M maybe over Louisiana Lafayette (ULL isn't a stinker and is certainly better than Nichols. If the Aggies don't play with an attitude they could lose this one.)
