There some interesting games in my week SEC football preview. We should learn a little more this week about a few teams.  Georgia, Mississippi State, Florida  and Arkansas are 4 teams I will be watching this weekend to see how much improvement has been made.

Georgia 24 Mississippi State 17 This game is in Athens and you can bet the Georgia crowd will be rowdy for this one. A month ago I would have picked Mississippi State but they just do not look like a very good football team right now. If the State defense does not come to play Georgia could blow this one open. It looks like Georgia just has to many weapons for Mississippi State.

Alabama 31 Florida 21 Alabama goes on the road to face the much improved Florida Gators. But I don’t thing Florida is quite ready for this Alabama defense. The Gators will have some success with the home crowd behind them but Alabama just has to many horses for the Florida defense to slow them down enough to stay in the game for 4 quarters. The Tide pulls away in the second half and come away with the victory.

LSU 56 Kentucky 10 As if LSU needed any help this week the get Jordan Jefferson and Russell Shepard back. Don’t know how much either will play but it doesn’t really matter against the Wildcats. Kentucky has a bad offense and the defense has not played much better. The only good thing for Kentucky is the game is being played in the daytime in Baton Rouge. The LSU fans will still be recovering from the night before. But the Tigers don’t need the crowd for this scrimmage.

Texas A&M 31 Arkansas 30 A&M will be competing in SEC games that count in the SEC race before long. This should be a great football game Saturday in Arlington. Expect a huge crowd at this neutral site. I look for Arkansas to bounce back after their lost to Alabama last week and play a tough game. The team that wins the turnover margin wins the game. Since they are playing in Texas I give it to A&M in the best game of the week.

Tennessee 41 Buffalo 14 Tennesse  QB Tyler Bray should be able to pad his stats this week. This one could get out of hand early. It should be over by the end of the first quarter.

South Carolina 34 Auburn 14 The South Carolina defense played up to it’s billing for the first time last week. The offense sputtered all over the place. A lot of the blame is being put on QB Stephen Garcia. However I saw something much more concerning than that. The offensive line play was bad and they also had way to many penalties. I think the OL just had a bad game last week. If not this could be trouble in Columbia. Garcia will be playing with a heavy heart after the passing of his grandfather. Players seem to play better for some reason after a trumatic experience. Garcia quites the boo birds this week with a 300 yard passing game against a weak Auburn secondary.

Ole Miss 28 Fresno State 24 An SEC team as an underdog against Fresno State. Yea I know the game is at Fresno. But Houston Nutt is fighting for his job and I believe his players deliver this week. I don’t know how they score 28 points but they will.
