Bama -7 up from -5 beats FSU (Atlanta)
Florida beats Michigan (Arlington)
A&M beats UCLA -3 1/2 (Pasadena) not really neutral but ...
SC beats NC State -5 1/2 down from -14 (Charlotte)
Tennessee -3 1/2 beats GA Tech (Atlanta) not really neutral but ...
LSU -13 beats BYU (Houston)

How are ticket sales going?

Bama/FSU (Sold Out)
SC/NC State (Sold Out)

I've not been able to find updates on the other games sales so far.

So if SC upsets NC State the odds makers see the SEC sweeping, correct?

Michigan is favored over Florida and the SEC won't sweep those games. Opponents are good teams, too.

I think that will be a tight game. Just don't see the SEC sweeping all of those games.

I think Michigan beats Florida and Georgia Tech wins as well.

SC and maybe aTm will lose. I think Florida may too not because I think they will suck but because I think Michigan will be really tough even though they lost a lot. Harbaugh has recruited well enough 5he last couple years to have some talent ready to step in.

Florida's got talent too. And experience. Better special teams, better defense, and more experienced offense. There is a reason the line didn't move much despite seven Gators suspended. The big money is on Florida.

Basically the chances of flipping a coin and landing on heads 4 in a row. 1/16

That's why I said maybe. I had no clue who to pick in pickem so I went SEC. I'm pulling for the gators. Want it to be an undefeated showdown in Gainesville

Michigan has a QB with big game experience and a gigantic coaching advantage. Harbaugh will have that team ready to play. McElwain needs to have Florida ready to match that.

Not really neutral? It's a home game for UCLA.

I still think FSU beats Bama. Mostly because it's the first game of the year and Bama always plays a little quirky in the beginning of the year. Their Defense just doesn't seem to function as a whole unit in early games like they do from the middle of the season on and I don't think their offense is strong enough to save them against an explosive team like FSU.

Michigan will beat Florida.

SC vs NC State could go either way.

UCLA could beat A&M but I don't think they will.

I don't even know what to expect of Tennessee vs GT

BYU could pull the upset but it's not likely. If our offense is atrocious and the defense has a bad game, it could happen.

SEC goes 4 and 2 at best and 2 and 4 at worst.

Texas A&M beats UCLA. I hope everybody keeps sleeping on the Aggies, but we will be much better in the trenches this season.

I like Trevor Knight, but he wasn't such a good QB that we won't be able to replace him with someone at least as good and possibly better.

Plus our DB's are better this year, to counter Rosen's passing.

And I hate neutral site games. I hope Arky gets tired of losing to us in Arlington and agrees to go home and home.
