Todd's World Famous SEC Football Predictions for Week 4

Mississippi State VS LSU

My Dawgs stiffened up on defense last week and handed Coach Mullen his first SEC win, by knocking off Vandy 15-3...MSU finally looked like the physical team I expect to see week in and week out, so I'm feeling better about our direction... Things get tougher this weekend, however, as LSU comes to Starkvegas. The Tigers are ranked seventh in the nation and even though I don't think they are as good as the polls show, I'm not gonna call the upset...I do think the Bulldogs will keep it close and I truely hope I'm wrong on the outcome.....LSU 27 - MSU 20

Old Mess VS South Carolina

Very interesting game here...The Gamecocks have found their offense the last couple of weeks, but the defense has been very questionable...The Rebels should be good, but have yet to be tested...Spurrier's group has the home field advantage and he seems to have finally found a quarterback that can produce...I honestly think Carolina could pull the upset here. Plus, I'm a huge fan of the weekly "Our Girls Are Hotter Than Your Girls" thread on the Gamecock message board...but...I can't go against my gut instinct.....Webels 38 - SC 28

Florida VS Kentucky

Ok, the Gators didn't lay the major smackdown I was hoping for on Tennessee...In the SEC, though, no win in is a bad win...Rick Brooks has his bunch overachieving once again this year and I think they will keep it close for awhile, but cats always end up as gator bait in the end.....Florida
41 - Kentucky 17

Alabama VS Arkansas

The Crimson Tide is looking more and more like an SEC title contender...Arkansas is MUCH improved over last year and Nick Satan's guys had better be ready for a fight. The Hogs will impress, I think, but I don't see them derailing Bummer just yet.....Elephants 38 - Hogs 24

Vanderbilt VS Rice

Bobby Johnson and the Dores wont be returning to a bowl game this year...But there's good news this week: The Rice Owls aren't heading to a bowl either...and of the two, the team from Music City should be able to grab a win and improve to 2-2 after this one.....Vandy 24 - Rice 10

Tennessee VS Ohio

Lane Kiffin's squad proved a lot against Florida last week....They proved they could go into Swamp and compete...They proved that their defense is pretty good....They proved that they aren't intimidated easily...However, they also proved that their offense is still very much unproven...Let's see if they can use the Bobcats as a confidence booster.....Vols 41 - Ohio 13

Auburn VS Ball State

After last week's victory over West Virginia, there's little doubt that the Tigers are for real...Not only can Auburn run the ball down your throat, they can also pass it around...Ball State rolls into hostile territory at the wrong time...This will be ugly ugly ugly on the plains....Auburn 51 - Ball St. 10

Georgia VS Arizona State

Much like South Carolina, the Georgia Bulldogs seem to have a discovered an offense and lost a defense... Speaking of offense, Arizona State has put up a combined total of 88 points in their first two victories...Can you say shootout? This could go either way, but I have to go with the SEC team at home.....Georgia 45 - AZ ST. 38

And my Bonus Special as always...

Tulsa VS Sam Houston State

Ok, so I went a little crazy by picking the Golden Hurricanes over the Sooners..Sometimes a guy lets wishful thinking take over...I feel pretty confident this week, though...The Canes will put up some big numbers and get that bad taste of crushing defeat out of their mouth....Tulsa 48 - Sam Houston 13
