Gamecock Man's Week Seven SEC Picks

My accuracy was pretty dismal last week, so take these picks with a grain of salt.

Georgia Bulldogs at Vanderbilt Commodores

If Georgia were in their current tailspin last year, I would probably call for a Vandy victory here. However, the 'Dores are among the country's worst teams this year, so while this game might be close, I doubt they'll win. Expect Vandy's defense to keep things tight, but their offense just doesn't have enough to beat the 'Dawgs.

Mississippi St. Bulldogs at Middle Tennessee St. Blue Raiders

An SEC team traveling to Murfreesboro? What's the world coming to? MTSU actually beat Maryland earlier this year and may be able to give the Bulldogs a game. However, State has actually been playing quite well lately They just haven't been able to break through with a big win against what has been a pretty brutal schedule thus far. Look for the Bulldogs to come out fired up and win this one.

Arkansas Razorbacks at Florida Gators

Many pundits have called this a trap game for the Gators. I don't see it. Florida will move the ball at will against the soft Arkansas defense, and while the Hogs' offense isn't too shabby, it's weakness is a strong pass rush, an attribute the Gators have in spades. Watch for Ryan Mallett to be sacked early and often as Florida crushes Arkansas.

UAB Blazers at Mississippi Rebels

The Rebels get a breather as they attempt to regroup and figure out a way to get back in the mix for a major bowl bid.

Kentucky Wildcats at Auburn Tigers

The 'Cats have shown a bit of life over the last couple of weeks, but don't have much to show for it. Auburn, on the other hand, was demolished by Arkansas last week after a promising 5-0 start. How will the two teams respond? I'm thinking that Kentucky's offense is good enough to move the ball against Auburn, but if I were a 'Cats fan, I would worry that the transition from losing Mike Hartline will be a tough one. Auburn, on the other hand, should be able to score frequently against Kentucky. Expect a close Auburn win.

Good Picks

I think Vandy or UK could edge UGA or Auburn … but probably won’t.

Here’s hoping the real trap game is Bama resting easy from whuppin’ Ole Miss and looking forward to humiliating rival Tennessee … and forgetting about the a** kickin’ chickens!

If not for Hartline being out, I might pick Kentucky against Auburn...

The ‘Cats, I think, are a pretty good team, at least on offense. However, the game against Auburn isn’t a good one for figuring out their quarterback situation.

I don’t think Vandy is good enough to upset anyone this year. (Knock on wood.) They’ve been pretty awful so far.

Did We Hit Hartline or was it a fluke?

Sorry for the dumb questions .. .i should just watch the replay tonight …

We hit him

The play actually didn’t even count – delay of game I believe. The ref just blew the whistle too late or the whistle wasn’t heard (my belief).

But yeah, he got nailed.

Speaking of MSU traveling to Murfreesboro ...

I remember a certain SEC team traveling to the confines of Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium, in beautiful Greenville, NC … wasn’t that our final game against those pesky ECU Pirates?

Part of me likes the idea of traveling to the smaller schools (just for the heck of it, or for 2 for 1s), but the Cola. Chamber puts so much pressure on the University to schedule the maximum number of home games … oh well …

You almost picked them Right

Georgia bullies Vandy = Large Bulldog Win
Miss. St. ekes one out over Middle Tennessee = A close scoring fun Game
Flordia beats Arkansas = Not badly though but not close neither
Ole Miss eats a cupcake = A Heisman type of game for Snead
South Carolina will worry Alabama = A closer than expected win for The Crimson Tide
Kentucky Surprices everyone = A Lones Seiber winning field goal over Auburn

The cats get the one win they aren’t suppose to get that they usually get per year. Wish we didn’t get the one loss we got that UK always tend to get in a game it looked it had won. Good job by South Carolina though. With some luck there won’t be any more of them.
