This is week 4 for my SEC fooball preview and competition is picking up. The biggest game I am interested in is the #2 LSU and # 16 West Virginia matchup.

This is the third time in four weeks LSU has played a ranked team. This week they travel to Morgantown to play in prime time again. This should be a great college football game and a tight one. West Virginia has been averaging about 42 points per game on offense and LSU has maybe the best defense in the nation.

There appears to be no real weaknesses on the Tigers team. The home field will give the Mountaineers an advantage but I look for the experience of playing in big games to pull LSU through in a close one.  LSU 24 West Virginia 21.

In the biggest SEC game of the week  # 3 Alabama is at home against # 14 Arkansas. This should be another fantastic SEC game. Alabama is at home. Both teams have played a couple of cupcakes and I am not sure Coach Saban is sold on his QB. I am going with the home team.  Alabama 27 – Arkansas 21.

South Carolina plays a much improved Vanderbilt team  in a night game. Vandy has won more games this year than they won any of the last two years. Their defense has been outstanding with 10 interceptions in 3 games.

The South Carolina passing attack has yet to get untracked but they are looking to put it into high gear this week and give Heisman Trophy canidate Marcus Lattimore break from so many carries. The Vandy defense has not played a team with this many weapons on offense. They will also have to deal with a rowdy night time crowd. This is the week USC gets the passing game untracked.  South Carolina 36 – Vanderbilt 17 

The only thing going for Kentucky in their game with Florida is the game is in Kentucky. Kentucky has had no offense this year against anyone and I don’t see them getting it going against the Gators.

 Kentucky will need for Florida to lose this by making turnovers and mistakes. Don’t see it happening. Florida 36 – Kentucky 14 

Mississippi State looks to right their ship and get on the right track after two tough losses to LSU and Auburn. The Bulldogs should feel better about themselves after Saturday. MSU 44 – La. Tech 10 

Georgia and Ole Miss will play Saturday in a game both coaches not to mention their teams need to win badly. Georgia got untracked with a 59-0 victory last week over Coastal Carolina. Mississippi has yet to get untracked. It appears the only thing going for the Rebels is this game will be played at home.

But Georgia is better than their 1-2 record. This Georgia team wants to get on a winning streak. Mississippi looks like they are going nowhere fast. Can Houston Nutt survive another uninspired performance by his ballclub? I do look for Ole Miss to come out and put up a good fight but the Georgia talent will overcome in the 4th quarter.  Georgia 28 – Mississippi 24 

Auburn is at home against Florida Atlantic Saturday night. Auburn has one of the worst defenses in the nation but their stats should improve against Florida Atlantic. The Owls have almost no offense. In their first 2 games they have managed only 185 yards total. That means they are averaging less than a 100 yards a game.

 Some good news. This game they will get more than 100 yards against the pitiful Auburn defense. The bad news is the Auburn offense could easily roll up 50 on the the Owls defense. Auburn 49 – Florida Atlantic 17 

Tennessee has a bye week.  That’s a wrap on the Week 4 SEC preview.
