Tom's Picks are in Bold
#1 Alabama (11-0) (7-0) vs. Auburn (5-6) (2-5)
The Tide has snapped 2 losing streaks that have lasted years in the past 2 games. After beating LSU and then Miss State, I think their game against Auburn is a lock. I'm not calling any points or exactly by how many, just that Alabama will surely win this game. I would like to think it will be close, for the Iron Bowl's sake, Bama 17-10.
Arkansas vs. LSU (7-4) (3-4)
For some strange reason the Tigers remain as the only team I have not picked against all season, haha, and here it goes again. LSU makes that 3 all time in losses at Little Rock for the Hogs. Bayou Bengals bounce back 35-24.
#2 Florida (10-1) (7-1) at #23 Florida State (8-3) (5-3)
Love this match up. These are the games that make the BCS awesome. Florida is still on the war path, and I'm still on their train. Gators chomp Noles by a lot. 45-28.
#13 Georgia (9-2) (6-2) vs. #18 Georgia Tech (8-3) (5-3)
This game I think is my toughest pick of the week. I've always argued that the ACC is underrated, and not respected as it should be. This game may turn some heads all around the southern states if Tech can pull the upset. Dogs have a lot on the line here, maybe another Sugar Bowl bid. They play at home here so I'm staying in the SEC. Dogs 38-28.
Kentucky (6-5) (2-5) at Tennessee (4-7) (2-5)
I can't seem to ever tell when the Vols are going to win or lose. I said a while back on the site that Kentucky will win 3 conf. games against Ark, Miss St, and Tenn. So... I'm going with the WildCats here, another 8-5 season. UK wins it close 42-38.
#25 Ole Miss (7-4) (4-3) vs. Miss State (4-7) (2-5)
Ole Miss is going to kill this team. Maybe by 30+ points.
Vanderbilt (6-5) (4-4) at Wake Forest (6-5) (4-4)
I'm sure Vandy is a lock anyway on the bowl issue, and Demon Deacons have been a really good program over the last 4 or so years. Wake even beat a really good Ole Miss squad on a last second feild goal. I know that one still hurts rebel fans and here's another thorn in your side, Wake will show you how to beat this team. Deacons by a TD. 30-23.

Blowouts rarely happen in rivalry games.
Here's where I disagree with the senior writer:
Florida State might be the best team the Gators have played all year. That game will be close.
Georgia Tech will upset the Bulldogs.
The Rebels will not blowout State. In fact, they'll get the scare of their life. State will keep it close late in the 4th.
hmpf.. we shall see.
umm.. We're missing the South Carolina/Clemson game.. I took S. Carolina. Great D. Cocks win convincingly, 31-14.
haha damn clemson won 31-14
You were dead on with Ole Miss and Florida. You only got one game to pick this coming week. Who's it going to be?
