October 29 in the SEC
The two greatest teams in college football, LSU and Alabama, have a bye this week. But, #10 Arkansas travels to Nashville to play the 'Dores in an early afternoon contest. Petrino's Pigs are too powerful for Vanderbilt. Hogs 38, fightin' James Franklins 20.
At 3:30, CBS will broadcast the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party live from Jacksonville, Florida. Mark Richt hopes to improve on his 2-8 record in this contest, but that will be no easy feat. Although his team currently sports an un-gatorlike 4-3 record, Will Muschamp has explosive playmakers in Jeff Demps, Chris Rainey, and Trey Burton. With two weeks to prepare, offensive coordinator Charlie Weiss will have some trump cards ready to play on Saturday. For Georgia, talented linebacker, Alec Ogletree returns to a Bulldog defense that brings a few tricks of its own. Don't know which way this game's gonna go, so I'll make this prediction straight from my heart. Dawgs 20, Florida 16.
Both schools from the fattest state in America 6 years running are gonna be in action at 7 PM. In a game worthy of ESPN3, Dandy Dan Mullen will get his first SEC victory of 2011 in Lexington, Kentucky. No offense + issues on the defensive side of the ball doesn't bode well for the Wildcats. Mississippi State is less bad. Dogs 24, Kats 14. Meanwhile, the Ole Miss Rebels will be looking to exchange their conference doughnut for a biscuit in the win column. Ain't gonna happen. The Rebs will be on their way to another loss inside Jordan-Hare Stadium. War Eagle Tigers 31, Rebs 12.
Bringing the conference back to relevance, Tennessee hosts #13 South Carolina at 7:15 on ESPN2. No Lattimore, no Stephen Garcia, no visor atop Steve Spurrier's head. Major upset of the day, as Derek Dooley gets the biggest win of his Volunteer career. Vols 24, Gamecocks 17. You're welcome, Barbara.
These are my picks for the week. Can ya'll do any better? Feel free to leave comments or join me on twitter.

Todd Grantham Appreciation Day
I've been spending a lot of time this week reading up on the post game incidents between Vanderbilt and UGA shortly after Georgia claimed victory over the 'Dores in Nashville. The more I learn about the situation, the more I support Todd Grantham defending his Dawgs. And the more I hear James Franklin say, "Rubbing our face in it..." the more I want to give him a towel to cry on.
Don't get me wrong. I do believe in sportsmanship, but I also understand that football ain't a gentleman's game. For further evidence, one need only view the video of Commodore #60 taking a cheap shot at a defenseless Kwame Geathers. Also, much has been made of the Todd Grantham/James Franklin feud. One local writer suggested that UGA "send a message" to their defensive coordinator, by suspending him for the biggest game of the season. I'm not callin' any names, but that concept is a little bit left of center.
In just his second season at Georgia, Todd Grantham is building a very strong foundation on the defensive side of the ball. And, if A.D. McGarity wants to send him a message, it outta be in the form of a raise...not a reprimand. Also, I would have liked to have heard Mark Richt verbalize some support for his players and coaching staff. I understand he was probably taking the high road, but his on field apology to James Franklin seemed a bit soft.
Todd Grantham has Georgia's defense on the rise and in honor of the great job he has done as the Dawgs D.C., I declare October 22, 2011 Todd Grantham Appreciation Day.

October 8 in the SEC
Here we go with another exciting week of SEC football and (lifts up prayer hands) stellar predictions from yours truly. Here's the skinny.
Ole Miss has a bye, but do the Rebs ever show up for their games?
South Carolina hosts Kentucky. Spurrier's visor won't leave his noggin this Saturday. Lattimore and company will plow past the Wildcats.
Mississippi State goes on the road and takes on UAB. Blazers get Dogged out by Mullen's squad.
Crimson Tide crushes Vanderbilt in Tuscalooza. Commodore fans, don't waste ya gas money. This one was over as soon as it was scheduled. Tide Rolls.
Chizik's champs go to Arkansas and Petrino's Pigs flip the script. Hogs roast Tigers 37-24.
Tennessee welcomes the University of Georgia to Knoxville. Sensational freshman RB Isaiah Crowell runs over Volunteer defenders with such an intensity that they all swear their name is Bill Bates. Dawgs 41- Da'Rick Rogers and UT 27.
Florida travels to Death Valley...the real one. I don't care what the bayou's wildlife and fisheries council says...October is Gator season in Louisiana. Geaux Tigers!!
Footnote of the day: A man always takes accountability for his actions. But it's comforting to know that someone has your back, even when your scrawny azz is dead wrong. A few weeks ago, I took some time off and began to evaluate some things. But, I must join you in wondering...Who is truly to blame for all of my errant predictions? Click on the title of this post.
