The site where we are doing our NFL Pick'Em game (see the Non-Diving Related Stuff forum) is going to offer a College Bowl Pick'Em game after the conference championship games have been completed. Would anyone here be interested in participating? If so, please either respond here or shoot me a PM and I'll set it up.

Some big SEC games this weekend.
Well what are everyone's predictions/thoughts on SEC games this weekend?

Auburn vs Georgia:
Playing at Jordan Hare this weekend. Traditionally the visiting team always seems to win this matchup, however the Dawgs just haven't been playing that well the later part of the season this year. Auburn will be predicted to win.... but will the Dawgs come back and overcome the Tigers?

Alabama vs LSU:
I think everyone is expecting No. 12 LSU to easily defeat unranked Alabama

Arkansas vs Tennessee:
No 11 Arkansas against No 13 Tennessee. This game is important for first place ranking of Arkansas in SEC West rankings. A Tennessee win is especially important for Auburn fans if AU is going to make it to the SEC Championship after their only conference loss to Arkansas. Arkansas's last 3 games are SEC games (Tenn, Miss St, & LSU). They need to win two of them to retain their lead at top slot in SEC West division and go to Atlanta for the Championship. Who would have thunk it that Arkansas had a shot at the SEC title?

Florida vs. South Carolina:
No 6 Florida should easily spank unranked South Carolina. But a Florida loss would knock them out of the top spot on the SEC East division

Right now current standings would put Florida vs Arkansas in the SEC Championship.

I don't think it will because Tenn has two losses one to Florida. Florida would have two loses but would win the head to head tie because they beat Tenn.

But I don't suspect they will lose

I just heard Erik Ainge will probably miss the Arkansas game this weekend.

Florida clinched going to the SEC title game when we lost to LSU last saturday. They can lose, and we can win out, and we will be tied, with them holding the tiebreaker. No SEC trip for us this year.

About Ainge... I wouldnt expect to see him. Saw him on campus yesterday, in a boot. Limping pretty bad too. Besides, Crompton makes the future after Ainge look good, so we have no reason not to play him.

Yup... You're right. #2 in the East division Tenn has two loses. A Florida loss would still keep them in the #1 spot.

That Tenn v. LSU game was a pretty good game. (prob not from Matt's perspective though...)
