No. 1 Alabama at No. 19 South Carolina: South Carolina has been winning in a very un-Spurrier like fashion, focusing more on a stingy defense rather than an explosive offense. Meanwhile, Alabama announced to the country last weekend that they are one of the best - if not the best - team in the country. The Gamecocks come out fired up, but Mark Ingram and McElroy are way too much to handle. Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide 42 South Carolina Gamecocks 14

Agreed, Tide Rolls...BIG
No. 12 LSU at No. 14 Florida: LSU has a few quality non-conference wins, but they have been winning their games by the skin of their teeth. Meanwhile, Florida is coming off a beat down of epic proportions and will be hungry for blood. There will be no miracle this week, the Florida defense will stifle the largely ineffective LSU offense and Brantley will rebound from last week's disaster. Meyer won't let them come out flat this week. Prediction: Florida Gators 30 LSU Tigers 13
Am I the only person who thinks that this is the Ho-Hum game of the week? LSU has been winning ugly, but at least they are winning. Florida on the other hand has yet to look impressive at all this season. Myer is being exposed without Superman...LSU wins another ugly and close game.
No. 23 Florida State at No. 13 Miami: This game used to be a huge game every year. Both programs are "down" this year, as is the entire ACC. Florida State has looked strong against mostly sub-par opponents, losing their only big game by a large margin to Oklahoma. Meanwhile Miami looked good against Pitt and decent vs Clemson, but they were embarrassed by Ohio State. Home turf comes up big for the 'Canes in a defensive battle. Prediction: Miami Hurricanes 23 Florida State Seminoles 17
Funny, I feel both these teams are "up" this year as neither team has been relevant for close to a decade. But from what I have seen, Miami is better and look for Harris to return to form. Canes win.
No. 16 Michigan State at No. 17 Michigan: At the end of the day its all going to come down to how well each defense will be able to contain the offense of their opponent. I just don’t think MSU has a quick enough defense to stop the Michigan offense, and I don’t know if Cousins and the rest of the Michigan State offense can keep up in a track meet. State's easy schedule comes back to bite them in the ass, as this is their first road game, and the battle tested Wolverines win one in a thriller (Yeah, I'm a homer, sue me.) Prediction: Michigan Wolverines 42 Michigan State Spartans 35
For the first time that I can remember "Little Brother" scares me this year. They are solid and the believe they can win, which is something I can never remember from them. No I wasn't afraid the last two years because the Wolverines were just bad...and i guess we will find out if we are still bad with this game this year. Our offense run by Shoelace is legit, hell, it even looked good when Tate got some play a few weeks back. But our "D" is horrible. Still, I agree with my brethren when they say they don't think that Sparty can keep up in the shoot out...Plus, I had Jimmy Johns for Lunch today for the first time in 4 years (just opened in AZ) and it was made by someone from A^2. Its a sign...Michigan wins.
