Bama's defense is very tough and all...but UT at home will be a war...those damn hillbillies find a way to come back in the 4th qt a lot.

A&M had the game in hand in the early second half and then they started to go 3 and out and left the defense on the field way too long. UT had something like over 90 snaps on offense in regulation? The turnovers are the only reason they lost. Bama will have to find a way to keep them in check and make them punt a lot.

Mizzou doesnt have the defense to keep up with us yet and at home we should handle them. A 4:00 pm start with Bama-UT kicking off at 3:30 pm.

1. Alabama over UT is no sure thing. If anything has been proven this season, it is that UT is extremely fricking resilient. Alabama will have to bring their A game.

2. Florida hasn't played with their starting QB in 3 weeks, and they haven't played good football in 6 quarters. Missouri is not very good this year, but UF has to come ready to play or their destiny will be being laughed at.

If everything goes well, this team will be 5-1, they will be ranked in the top 15, and they will be in first place in the division, but it won't mean much because the meat of their schedule will remain. Georgia and Arkansas will not be easy outs for this team, and I assume they will have to play LSU at some point as well.

Tennessee has earned my respect this year. They are a tough group. Poorly coached, but a tough and talented group.

I think that Bama will beat them. The only thing I worry about is how a true freshman will handle Tennessee's defense and crowd. Bama's OL can push them around and their DL can feast on Tennessee's OL.

I think Bama wins it somewhere in the range of 35-24.

Florida should beat Missouri at home on homecoming with an extra week to get healthy and with our starting quarterback back. I expect us to win something like 24-7.

I think Bama tackles a lot better than A&Ms or UGAs defense. Wasnt overly impressed with the A&M QB either. The Bama vs UT game is a rivalry and Bama will be ready. But lets face it...Kamara and Dobbs break tackles with ease in the second halves of games. You have to put Dobbs in sure passing situations because he goes colorblind easily.

Want LSU game played...have 2 tix and I wanna see the game period!

One thing to note is that SEC rules clearly state that winning PERCENTAGE is what determines who goes to the SECCG. Even if they won head to head it doesnt matter, we both lose two games...we go because 5-2 is better % than 6-2....so theres that. Im sure lawsuits would be filed...but the rule is clear and if the SEC tries to change it...then UF will get lawyered up and have a winning case imo. Its not our fault a hurricane was able to disrupt plans. I think the SEC is well aware of the shitstorm coming if UF is able to to the SECCG with 2 losses and UT has 2 Ls also. The SEC will do their best to convince LSU to play this game...and LSU will not wanna play for the above reasons that could enable them to play in the SECCG...but they have at least 2 losses yet to give imo.

LSU plays Southern Miss this saturday and then hosts Ole Missy followed by Bama at home then Arkie on the road and A&M on the road also. I mean they do have two tough SEC games at home and 1 road game before Nov 19th. If Ole Miss beats them and they have two losses and Bama is unbeaten...then they will probably schedule Nov 19th with us.....thats probably. We will see how much clout the SEC has real soon.

Your math is off.

5/7 equals .715
6/8 equals .750

So Tennessee would have a better winning percentage.

Tennessee is by far the most talented team in the SEC East and I said that before the season.

But they have the worst coaching staff in the division.

Poor starts in every one of their games is a coaching problem. Period.

As for UF, the LSU-UF game WILL BE PLAYED at some point this season.

I guarantee that.

UF has looked pretty bad for the last 6 quarters. No game is a freebie.

UF has enough talent to beat each of the remaining teams on its schedule, but they can also look like they did vs. Tennessee in the 2nd half and vs. Vandy for the entire game.

Long ways to go.

If UF can beat Arkansas and Georgia, Atlanta is yours for the taking.
