We are getting to that beautiful point when SEC teams all play each other, and we don’t have to watch [add SEC team here] beat the living daylights out of [add poor FCS school here] on ESPN The Ocho.

This Saturday, we’ve got a monster with Georgia going to Tennessee - which is also going to be your spot for College Gameday (first time since 2022, I’m told), Texas A&M going to Notre Dame and Wisconsin going to Alabama for a helmet game. Oh, and there’s Ole Miss hosting Arkansas, Vanderbilt visiting South Carolina, and the fun trainwreck of Florida going to LSU.

Oh, and there’s a bunch of ‘snore games’ on the sked, which we’re not remotely excited about.

No, this wasn’t written by A…I.

Anyway, so here’s our list of games we’re interested about:

  1. No.6 Georgia (-3.5) at No.15 Tennessee: We weren’t impressed with the Bulldogs, and nor was anyone else on Saturday. Meanwhile, the Tennessee Express has been dropping 70s on teams we don’t care about. Look - Georgia’s defense is - yet again - absolutely stacked. But offensively, we have worries. Gunnar Stockton’s 26-for-34 evening didn’t set the world alight. But Kirby Smart may be ready to play ‘Runball’, with Chauncey Bowens and Nate Frazier leading the way. As for Tennessee, it’s going to be the usual Josh Heupel Express.They beat Syracuse comfortably in Week 1, and Jose Aguilar looks the real deal. But Georgia’s suffocating defense is going to be - to use a British expression - different gravy. At Neyland, he could be running for his life. PREDICTION: Tennessee with the upset. Vols by 3 on a last-second field goal.
  2. No.16 Texas A&M at No.8 Notre Dame (-6.5): As we’ve mentioned 401 times, this is going to be about Texas A&M’s monster offensive line playing against a Notre Dame defense that’s pretty suffocating in its own right. Marcel Reed’s a blast to watch on the floor and with the arm, but can he hit Mario Craver and KJ Concepion on a regular basis? On the offensive side, The Irish are anchored by CJ Carr, who’s looked better and better prior to his debut in South Bend. Expect Jeremiyah Love - who’s not exactly set the world alight this year - to be given a lot more ‘love’. PREDICTION: Notre Dame wins a close one by 6 in a low-scoring but intriguing match-up.
  3. Florida (-7.5) at No.3 LSU: Florida was horrible on Saturday, but still should have won. They dcertainly have the horses, but we (always) worry about Billy Napier’s braindead playcalling. You could argue that they are still at Top 25 team.  Will he leave it all out against LSU, who have an angry defense led by Harold Perkins, who seems to have returned to his best. He harassed Cade Klubnick in Week 1, and we expect CJ Lagway to get the same treatment in Week 3 - especially as Lagway has gone backwards since his arrival on the scene last year. I’m not excited about UF, who’s going to give the ball to Jadan Baugh, who was the Gators’ best player against USF. PREDICTION: LSU wins by 6 in a game led by defense.
  4. Arkansas at No.17 Ole Miss (-7): Is Arky good now, or is the excitement just because the Pigs have scored a hatful against two not-great opponents? Ole Miss on the other hand struggled at Kentucky - but came through as you need in these early-schedule SEC games. We don’t know clearly about the status of Ole Miss QB Austin Simmons, who was hurt last week and hobbled off. Important RB Kewan Lacy will be the one to look at - particularly if Arkansas isn’t stacking the box. Ole Miss on the other hand will have to have an answer for Taylen Green, who’s the QB in the SEC right now. Now although Green (as mentioned) has played pretty lowly opposition, he still threw for over 3,000 yards last year and ran for another 600. This one will be fun. From a betting side, it’s also interesting that Ole Miss started as 12 point favorite has been cut to almost half. PREDICTION: Arkansas in the absolute 3-point shocker.
  5. Wisconsin at No.19 Alabama (-20.5): Cool to see two teams play in only the 4th team they’ve played. Wisconsin has never played in Tuscaloosa. Wisconsin is 2-0 without playing anyone of note, and Alabama is 1-1, and lost the game of any note. Ty Simpson resurrected himself against crappy opposition last week, and he’ll get the chance for even more redemption against a 'Sconnie team - who may well be without starting QB Bill Edwards - picked to finish 12th out of 18 teams. PREDICTION: Alabama by 31.
  6. Vanderbilt at No.11 South Carolina (-4.5): Any game involving Vanderbilt is going to be a lot of fun because Diego Pavia is playing. Once considered the SEC’s fly on the windscreen, now it’s biting back, and people in black and gold are suddenly expecting a lot more. On the other side of things South Carolina has been excellent defensively but the offense really hasn’t clicked…to such a point that we don’t understand Carolina’s No.11 ranking. Having said all that, expect a rebound against Vandy what should be a high-scoring game. Prediction: South Carolina pulls it out with a 6 point win.
  7. South Alabama at No.24 Auburn (-24.5): A heartbreaking loss to one of the more formidable G5 teams ensures me that South Alabama is going to be no pushover on Saturday. True, South Alabama had to come from 33-17 down with 10 to go in the 4th, so Auburn should prepare not be lackluster too early. Auburn better watch out. PREDICTION: Barners win by 21, but it’s a struggle for a while.
  8. Eastern Michigan at Kentucky (-24.5): Kentucky is playing an Eastern Michigan team that lost to a basketball school. And they are only favoured by 25? Anyone with interest in this sort of this thing should jump all over the Wildcats, who should expect Dante Dowdell to run roughshod. PREDICTION: Kentucky by 35.
  9. ULL v No.25 Missouri (-27.5): Missouri - on a high after beating hated rival Kansas - will roll in this one. Expect Bo Pribula to have the time of his life. PREDICTION: Missouri by 35. And that’s because they call the dogs off in the 4th.
  10. No.13 Oklahoma (-21.5) at Temple: Temple’s playing with a bit of confidence after back-to-back wins. While we don’t expect OU to have a problem here, John Mateer may use this game to get a little voice in the early Heisman Discussion. PREDICTION: OU by 28.
  11. UTEP at Texas (-41.5): ARCH FOR THE HEISMAN, BABY (Note: Sark will keep him in for four quarters to send a middle finger to the haters). PREDICTION: Texas by 51
  12. Alcorn State at Mississippi State (N/A): Won’t be interesting. PREDICTION: Clangers by 60.
