Florida at #5 Texas  11:00 AM  ABC

Florida is a much better team this year, but Texas will smother their running game and win this one big.

#3 Georgia at #16 Ole Miss  2:30 PM  ABC

Georgia, overall, is still #1 or 2 in the SEC.  Ole Miss will drop to #25 in the polls after this week.

Michigan at #8 Indiana  2:30 PM  CBS

Indiana's first real test this season before running into Ohio State next week.  I am taking Michigan in a low-scoring upset.

#11 Alabama at #15 LSU  6:30 PM  ABC

This one is always a fun one.  Night game in Baton Rouge... you have to like the Tigahs in this one.  LSU by a FG.

Oklahoma at #24 Missouri  6:45 PM  SEC Network

I don't like either of these teams.  Missouri may score enough to squeak this one out.  Missouri by 6.

#9 BYU at Utah  9:15 PM  ESPN

My late night addition.  Not exactly a marquee game, but also a complete role reversal from preseason predictions to today.  Utah was a B12 favorite, BYU was a mid tier team.  BYU is now the B12 favorite while Utah is a mid tier team.  Give me the Utes in a shootout.

Don't be traveling in Utah this Saturday night, because the STATE will be closed down for this game......involves everyone from there.....

I love that though.  Even when the game means nothing, it means a ton to that state.

The media, playoff committee and the NCAA are doing everything they can to make Alabamammy a playoff team. Will three losses drop them out of the top 12? .....

They have arguably the best win in college football. They will not be left out with two losses and they should not be in a 12 team field. The SEC should get at least 5 spots if not 6 if they are really choosing the "best" teams.

They'll still make the playoff unless they lose in the ACC championship game

I like this kid but this is crazy.  He wants to be able to play 7 full years of college football because of his limitations on NIL profits…
