Todd's Almost Late But Never Boring SEC Predictions for Week 3

Yes, I've been slacking this week! Actually, I've been pretty busy...but I promise not to let it happen again...I'm running short a time, so here's a slightly condensed version of my picks for week three...I'll be back in the full swing of things next time though.

Mississippi State VS Vanderbilt

The Dawgs had a rough time on the plains at Auburn last week, getting blown out of the water once the half time show was over. Defensive Coordinator Carl Torbush was obviously intoxicated, given the defensive scheme he ran for most of the night...Vanderbilt lost a very physically tough game to LSU, leaving the bayou with several players banged up...The Dores are always tough and hopefully the Bulldogs can get Torbush dried out in time for this little meeting in Nashville....This may be the last chance I have to pick my team for a while (the schedule gets brutal), so I'm taking the canines while I still can.....MSU 24 - Vandy 21

The University of Mississippi at Oxfart VS Southeastern Louisiana

Boy, things couldn't get much better for the rebels. In week one, they knocked off the mighty Memphis Tigers with a fourth quarter performance that actually resembled a top ten team. They took a rest during week two and moved up in the polls without even having to play a game....So, now it's time to get down to business in week three, right? Not hardly, as Southeastern Louisiana comes to visit. I guess the hotty toddy bunch needs a practice game to prepare for that huge showdown with Northern Arizona in a few weeks...Yes, I was being sarcastic.....Old Mess 51 - SE LA 14

Tennessee VS Florida

Well well, here's the one we've all been waiting on...Lane Kiffin has wrinkled more than a few feathers since being hired in Knoxville, but I doubt anyone is more eager than Urban Meyer to get their chance at the Vols....I'm sure Kiffin has been seeing angry gators in his nightmares for weeks now...Guess what Lane? Even those nightmares couldn't prepare your team for what's coming when they enter the Swamp for this mauling...This will be painful to watch if you're wearing orange.....Gators 48 - Vols 13


Kentucky 27 - Louisville 17

Alabama 44 - North Texas 9

South Carolina 41 - Florida Atlantic 10

Georgia 30 - Arkansas 28

LSU 38 - Louisiana Lafayette 14

Auburn 31 - West Virginia 28


Tulsa VS Oklahoma

Tulsa has been able to put up a lot of points so far this season, but they wont come nearly as easy against this Sooner defense...Even in their opening week loss to BYU, Oklahoma only gave up two touchdowns...This is a tough one for me, because I want to call the upset, but common sense tells me to pick the guys from Norman...Of course, with the problems at quarterback for Oklahoma...hmm...Ok, here it is, Upset Special of the week.....Tulsa 27 - Oklahoma 24
