Gameday in the Bluegrass

It is another GAMEDAY for the Bluegrass as the Kentucky Wildcats will host the once Championship hopeful Georgia Bulldogs. Kentucky is coming off a narrow 14-13 victory against Mississppi State and the Georgia Bulldogs are looking to gete back on the winning track after an EMBARRASSING loss to the Florida Gators, which ruined their national title hopes. My hope is that this game can be kept close by the Kentucky defense. However, my rational self knows that Georgia is coming into the Commonwealth ANGRY and wanting to make a BIG statement. Poor Kentucky, but maybe not…


Last week, my college picks DOMINATED! I must say I am getting a hang of this college season. I knew Tech would beat the Longhorns. And until the last quarter, the Red Raiders were completely dominating the Horns. BUT, although the Red Raiders did win, it is unlikely they go through their schedule with out a loss. The next few games are brutal and if they get by the Oklahoma State Cowboys this week, their following game in Norman against the Sooners, they will NOT be so lucky!

Last Week- 9-4 (HIT THE UPSET SPECIAL!)

OVERALL::: 41-30

ACC- Duke o NC State

Big East- Rutgers o Syracuse

Big 12- Nebraska o Kansas

Big 10- Michigan State o Purdue

Pac 10- Arizona o Washington State

UPSET SPECIALS

1) Cincinnati o West Virginia

2) Oklahoma State o Texas Tech

-SEC PREDICTIONS-

1) Alabama o LSU- The Tigers are not the same team as last year and do not have enough fire power to contend with the TIDE….The game in in Tuscaloosa and Nick Saban will have this team focused on the Western crown…ALABAMA

2) Tennessee o Wyoming- Too little, too late for the Vols, but a win on HOMECOMING is a must…it likely will NOT be pretty but the Volunteers should outmatch the Cowboys based on talent alone…TENNESSEE

3) Arkansas o South Carolina- Arkansas is going to come into Columbia on a mission and Gamecock quarterback Stephen Garcia is bound to have a bad game….this will be it…Arkansas WILL pull the upset…ARKANSAS

4) Auburn o Tennesee-Martin- Four straight SEC losses, the Tigers need this game before heading to Athens….Auburn should win this one CONVINCINGLY…AUBURN

5) Florida o Vanderbilt- After the loss to Ole Miss, the Gators have been on a mission…they will not be wowed by the hyped that was received this week after the belittling of Georgia…they are too focused. Vandy does come off a bye but has not looked good of late losing three straight games!...FLORIDA
