Okay, I'm pushing for time, so I'll get right to my picks of this week's SEC football games and other contests of note or interest:
Coach Saban only had to point to last week's lackluster performance as a prime example of a let-down, and hopefully the message hit home. Look for more faces to pop up in the rotation- some new, some familiar- as more folks get game-time experience before the start of the conference slate. The Tide rolls:
ALABAMA 45, Western Kentucky 10
tennessee 35, UAB 10
Spurrier seems to be inside Richt's head, but I think this time Georgia is a touch more loaded, and the 'Cocks are playing scared: Georgia 31, S. Carolina 14
Kentucky 28, Middle Tennessee 17
Vanderbilt (On a Roll!) 27, Rice 14
Ole Miss 38, Samford 3 (Nutt is instilling confidence and everyone will get to play!)
LSU 64, North Texas 7 (Tigers feel they have something to prove with long layoff and early patsies on schedule...!)
auburn travels to Starkville to meet a confident Mississippi State, who has been successful as of late against Alabama teams. The guess here is the tigers will be ready.
auburn 34, MSU 17
Arkansas & Texas postponed due to Hurricane Ike, and Florida is idle.
In non-SEC action, look for the Trojans to shut the Buckeyes up as Southern Cal will probably roll over Ohio State. USC 41, OSU 21
Penn State 28, Syracuse 14
Clemson 21, NC State 10
Oklahoma 38, Washington 28
Michigan 14, Notre Dame 13
UCLA 21, BYU 20
