Every once in a while I like to think of what would be the most surprising result of the weekend that actually has some small chance of happening and then rank these on a scale of 2 (not surprising) - 9 (very surprising). I’ve eliminated anything that’s a 1 or 10, because they’re expected results or anticipated close games.
Vanderbilt beats Ole Miss - 9
TAMU beats Missouri - 8.5
South Carolina beats Florida - 8
Oklahoma beats Texas - 5
Kentucky beats LSU - 3

Surprising yet realistic, probably falls on Kentucky upsetting LSU.

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Hopefully Sumrall gets them to learn from last week, but I think were exposed schematically and these are Billy's players who had a tendency to quit as soon as they faced even the smallest bit of adversity.

Least to most of those:
Tamu beats Mizzou
UK beats LSU
Ou beats TX
Sc beats UF

That SC absolutely hammers fla.
I'm not sure KY beating LSU would be all that surprising.

According to the Kalshi prediction market (which basically tracks Vegas odds), the likelihood of each of these teams winning this weekend is as follows:
Texas A&M 39%
Oklahoma 25%
Kentucky 25%
Vanderbilt 24%
South Carolina 17%
So basically, A&M clearly the most likely, SC clearly the least likely, and Oklahoma, Kentucky, and Vanderbilt all having prospects that would make their victories surprising, but not shocking.
I do think A&M is a bit underrated by people right now. They did look terrible against LSU, but they solidly beat a decent Arizona State team and dismantled an (admittedly pretty bad) Arkansas team last weekend. To be clear, I am NOT saying they are going to somehow right the ship and make the playoff or anything, but I could still see them going 7-5.
