Tennessee in the East - Auburn in the West face MUST WIN Games early

Both of these games are "must win" games for those programs.
Auburn entered the season ranked in the top 10; so we have to assume they have decent talent - right? Their biggest problem has been that the offense just hasn't been able to get it done. It almost (and should have) cost them against Jax State and they flat out got exposed by LSU
My guess is that the War Plainsmen Tiger Eagles find a way to #getrdun
Aubbie just has better players on both sides of the ball than MSU
AU 27 - MS State 17
The Tenn game really is not as much of a "must win" insofar as the season goes, but for the psyche of the team and the fans? This is a big game and most see it as a "must win" game
Tenn has had amazing recruiting classes recently, they SHOULD match up pretty well and MAY be slightly more talented, but Muschamp did not leave the cupboard completely bare in Gainesville.
Problem for the Vols? They still don't have that "killer instinct" and have not really demonstrated that they can "find a way to win"
This game in the Swamp likely comes down to the 4th quarter, as I expect the Vols to give UF their best shot, just like they did with the Sooners
And just like with the Sooners, they will likely fall short. Hopefully it won't deflate them to the point where the punt on the season
Florida 31 - Tennessee 28

These teams are meeting in Atlanta. Jeremy Johnson and Josh Dobbs will finish first and second in the Heisman balloting.

Tennessee may lose, but Florida will not score 31 points.

Have you watched one mother fricking Awburn game this year 
the only position Auburn has "better athletes" than us is at running back.

y'all had a hulluva year last year and coming into this season with high hopes is to be expected
BUT, Aubbie has been outplaying/out recruiting y'all for years
I do not think that MS State has a bad football team, but I need to see more before I jump on board with picking the Bullies to win what amounts to a "desperation/save our season" game against the Plainsmen, especially at Jordan Hare
IF y'all win this game, it will go a long way towards convincing me that MS State deserves more respect
RIGHT NOW, I see MS State as a mid-tier SEC team that has the ability to ruin someone's season. You guys lost a lot from last year's team, yes I know that you still have Dak. I am just not convinced that you have reached the "we just re-load" status.
Like I said, I have to see more from y'all before my decades old assumptions turn around...

A fairly reasonable assessment of the games. Naturally you will receive double digit downvotes.

Auburn and Tennessee win

I don't think it is a must win for Tennessee. Yes our fan base will go nuclear, and will start saying Butch is not the right guy, if we lose, but I still think we are a year away from being really good. Next years game is a must win.

for Butch, that makes this week a "must win"

If Auburn hasn't/doesn't quit I think we will win a close game, my fear is that we have or will if things don't get off to a great start.

The good Vol posters on here were pumping the breaks on this season a lot more then the national media. Still, beating one of Georgia, Florida, or Mizzou would be a big step forward for the Vols this year.

I really think that blowing the game against OU, the biggest lead lost at Neyland ever, did a lot to deflate this TN team
We'll see what they are made of this weekend, and in the GA game if they do wind up losing on Saturday

I honestly don't see us scoring 28.
I sure as frickin hell don't see them scoring 31.

State has a stout d, I can't see Auburn's offense scoring that many points.

This is a Must-win in terms of keeping the fanbase behind butch. After the OU game, we're all tired of his Coachspeak. We want results. If we don't beat Florida, Butch loses the fanbase. it's that simple. That being said, I think we'll lose.

I don't give a shite how many players are flying for their first time, I give a shite about digging out of this almost decade long hole we've been in
JUST WIN BABY

State has a stout front. Their secondary is pretty bad.
