Ranking the SEC games this weekend (Week 9)

Is this the classic "Loser leaves town" weekend in the SEC? The top 3 games all have massive SEC championship and Playoff implications. Here you go:

1. Ole Miss @ Oklahoma (Noon, ABC)
Ole Miss goes on the road for the second week in a row to face a top 15 team. They're hoping this one turns out better. Oklahoma got their groove back last week and looked more like the team we thought they were. You do have to wonder how John Mateer's mindset is with all the gambling news out there. Could he be sharing a cell with Chauncy Billups soon?
2. Mizzou @ Vandy (3:30, ESPN)
These two teams have a couple of common opponents: both beat South Carolina, both lost to Alabama. Vandy beat the Gamecocks by 24, and lost to Bama by 16, while the Tigers beat USCe by 9 and lost to the Tide by 3. So, do with that pointless information what you will. Diego vs Drink, Nerds vs Midwesterners; this should be a thoroughly entertaining game.
3. Texas A&M @ LSU (7:30, ABC)
I don't know if more consequences rest on a single game. If LSU loses this one badly, Brian Kelly may not make it to Halloween as the head coach. If LSU wins this game, they're in the Playoff conversation. On the flip side, A&M has a lot of losing to cram in the next few weeks if they're going to make it to the traditional 4 losses. Death Valley will be rocking for at least a half in this one.
4. Alabama @ South Carolina (3:30, ABC)
A highly regarded Alabama team has never had anything to worry about in Columbia, right? Right?!? 15 years and 15 days ago, the undefeated Crimson Tide rolled into town, the defending National Champs, the baddest dudes on the block. Meanwhile, Stephen Garcia woke up from an all-night bender in a frat house somewhere on Lincoln St, snorted a line, and went out to shock the world. Alabama can only hope Sellers is stone-cold sober on Saturday.
5. Texas @ Mississippi State (4:15, SECN)
This game makes me sad. tGrind was supposed to be back, Arch was supposed to be the GOAT, and cowbells were supposed to only be rung responsibly. Texas might not be a good road team, but sadly, MSU isn't looking like a good anything team right now.
6. Auburn @ Arkansas (12:45, SECN)
Wonder if Bobby P and Hugh will meet early to discuss the best way to explain things to the ol' wife? Auburn and Freeze need this win badly, but you have to wonder if beating the Razorbacks is really going to be enough to save Hugh's job. Petrino has made a really good case, at least offensively, to become Arkansas' next coach and a few good wins over the last 5 games could seal the deal.
7. Tennessee @ Kentucky (7:45, SECN)
However bad you think your teams worst coordinator is, he can't hold a candle to Kentucky's OC, Bush Hamdan. The Wildcats haven't scored more than two touchdowns in matchups against P5 opponents in their last 11 games and are averaging 15 points in SEC games this season. Tennessee could allow last week to beat them this week, but I can't see that happening here.

Have a great weekend, everyone! And remember, win or lose, at least you had fun, right?
