    I generally agree. This game could go either way really. If we can do what we do and put points on the board and make Auburn play keep up we win.

    Tubby was on the radio here in Arkansas today. He gave the advantage to Auburn because it was an 11am game and he knows their talent well. He said he was in the box with Jerry Jones and posse during the Arkansas/A&M game too. I'll pick Auburn in the contest but will say Arkansas 38-24.
    I heard Tubbs liked AU by 3 touches. Doubt it'll be that much

    I think I might be more interested in watching three other SEC games than I am in watching Tennessee beat Georgia.

    Good post from Ivan Maisel on big games in SEC this weekend

    It is the kind of week that makes the Big Ten seethe, the Big 12 grit its teeth and the Big East wish that basketball season would hurry. It is a week in which the two best games of the week, and two of the best games of any week, will be played in the Southeastern Conference.


    No. 3 Alabama plays at No. 20 Ole Miss at 3:30 p.m ET on Saturday. No. 1 Florida plays at No. 4 LSU at 8 p.m. ET. How big is the game between the Gators and the Tigers? CBS has the contractual right to televise one SEC game in prime time this season. It chose Florida at LSU.

    With or without concussed Gator quarterback Tim Tebow, the game represents the first time that the winners of the last three national championships have played against each other since 1990, when Notre Dame beat Miami 29-20.

    The traditions that surround these two SEC games have more to do with the home teams than the rivalries themselves. Both Oxford and Baton Rouge are known for their tailgating. Oxford is known for treating its guests well. The reaction of visiting fans coming into Baton Rouge is respect bordering on wariness.

    LSU fans manage to yell "Tiger Bait!" at the invaders while inviting them to share in a slice of cochon de lait, the roast suckling pig slowly turning at the tailgate. The only thing more intimidating than a stroll past the lair of Mike the Tiger outside the stadium is the noise of the well-lubricated Tigers fans inside Death Valley after a daylong pregame.

    As football goes, the LSU-Florida rivalry is long on importance and short on tradition. The Tigers of the SEC West and the Gators of the SEC East play each other every year. Every SEC team has one annual opponent in the opposite division; the other five teams in the opposite division rotate onto the schedule.

    "We started down the list," retired SEC commissioner Roy Kramer said Monday. "Arkansas and South Carolina came into the league together. That would be a permanent game. Tennessee-Alabama and Georgia-Auburn went together. Florida and LSU were sort of left on the table. As it has turned out, it's a very significant game."

    Southern Specials
    The SEC is the place to be in Week 6. From No. 3 Alabama at No. 20 Ole Miss to No. 1 Florida at No. 4 LSU, Chris Low's keeping up with it all. SEC blog

    • Crimson Tide-Rebels | Gators-Tigers
    Not until 2006 did both teams come into the game ranked in the top 10. Before that time, LSU and Florida had pressed few memories in the SEC family bible. They didn't begin playing regularly until the 1950s. In fact, Florida played at Harvard and at UCLA before it ever played at LSU (1937).

    "A lot of the bigger state schools would not play us before the stadium was built," Florida athletic historian Norm Carlson said. "Alabama, Tennessee, LSU and Georgia ... were big-time football programs and we weren't."

    The Crimson Tide and the Rebels have longer histories of success, perhaps in part because they did a thorough job of avoiding each other. Legends Bear Bryant of Alabama and John Vaught of Ole Miss, coaching only 180 miles apart for 15 seasons, played only six times in the regular season. Bryant won four.

    Though they professed to be friends, Vaught railed against Bryant's knack for exploiting loopholes in the rules of the game. Twice in the 1960s, the Crimson Tide scored on a tackle-eligible pass to narrowly defeat the Rebels.

    Vaught joined the NCAA football rules committee in 1966. As the committee's 1968 meeting drew to a close, wrote Dave Nelson, the editor of the rulebook at the time, "John left the table, went to the door, put a chair under the door knob, and said, "We are not leaving this meeting until we do something about that damn tackle-eligible pass."

    The committee tossed the tackle-eligible pass out of the rule book. That fall, Ole Miss defeated Alabama 10-8.

    Crimson Tide fans don't take kindly to losing to the Rebels, which has happened rarely (Bama leads 45-9-2). In 1988, after Ole Miss ruined Alabama's homecoming with a 22-12 victory, someone threw a brick through the office window of Tide head coach Bill Curry.


    Since that season, Alabama is 16-2 against Ole Miss. Even in 2000, when Alabama began the season in the top five and finished 3-8, the Crimson Tide beat the Rebels 45-7.

    Football in Oxford has never based its appeal on the success of the Rebels. The appeal lies in the experience that begins at 6 p.m. Friday night, when the Grove is opened for fans to stake out their tailgating space. The Grove is to tailgating what Augusta National is to golf, or St. Patrick's Cathedral to Catholics. The most beloved 10 acres on the Ole Miss campus are a shrine still in use.

    "We don't tailgate. We picnic," said Tim Walsh, head of the alumni association and unofficial Grove master. Walsh said that because cars are not allowed on the Grove. How it became such a pregame festival dates to a run of bad weather in 1990. A torrential downpour left the Grove so sodden that the university closed it to cars.

    "It's ironic," Walsh said. "People complained. Change comes slowly to people in the South. From then on, it actually blossomed. Take the cars out and you can get a whole lot of people in."

    Some 30,000 by one estimate. Oxford on a football Saturday is a unique place. The city of 16,000 known for its love of good books and good food makes room for at least four times that many on game day. John Currence, the owner/chef of City Grocery and three other restaurants in Oxford, estimates he will serve 4,500 meals this weekend.

    They'll be good, too. Currence won a 2009 James Beard Foundation Award as the Best Chef in the South.

    "It's nothing short of amazing," Currence said. "Being from New Orleans, I sort of compare it to Mardi Gras. We start cooking on Thursday and don't stop until the last person goes on Sunday. It's going to be exhilarating. That's just the way that it is."

    Alabama has won the past four games between the schools by a total of 13 points. These days, the football is as entertaining as the tailgate.

    UGA down 21-12 at the half. Unfortunately, I am very good at judging how Georgia will do each game. I guess it's from years of following them. But I expected a loss to Tennessee. At this point a win would just be pleasantly unexpected.

  9. #159
    Tennessee will beat Georgia next week.
    Sheesh Chili Dog. Your cynicism is dripping. No way UGA loses to them. Of course, I've been wrong picking UGA games 3 time now
    Georgia just isn't that good. Besides, I'm seeing if I can keep my preseason picks correct.

    This is from the end of June:

    @ Oklahoma State L
    South Carolina W
    @ Arkansas W
    Arizona State W
    LSU L
    @ Tennessee L
    @ Vanderbilt W
    vs Florida L
    Tennessee Tech W
    Auburn W
    Kentucky W
    @ Georgia Tech W

    Outback Bowl Bowl vs Wisconsin W
    So far I'm lookin good.
    I can read UGA like a book. Unfortunately I'm now not so sure about the later games now. But I think they'll still beat Vandy. From now on, everyone should wait to make their UGA pick until after I tell you they will win or lose.

    Here's the damage. From ESPN. Where ya at Brutalis?! Good win for your Hogs

    FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Chris Todd flipped a short screen pass to Mario Fannin, and Arkansas' Jerico Nelson was ready. He hit Fannin immediately for a 4-yard loss.

    The 17th-ranked Tigers -- and their fast-paced, powerful offense -- had been stopped in their tracks.

    Fast Facts

    • Arkansas capitalized on three Auburn fumbles and improved to 3-2.

    • Forty four points is the most Arkansas has scored against Auburn, surpassing a previous record of 42 set in 2001. The win also ended a three-game home losing streak to the Tigers.

    • Auburn lost the turnover battle 3 to 1; the Tigers had been plus-8 in turnover margin this season.

    • Auburn's loss ended a 20-game win streak for Gene Chizik at Auburn. In addition to starting 5-0 this season, Chizik had won 15 straight games as Auburn's defensive coordinator from 2003-04.

    -- ESPN Stats & Information

    Michael Smith rushed for 145 yards and a touchdown, and the Razorbacks held off a late Auburn rally to hand the Tigers their first loss of the season, 44-23 Saturday. Arkansas -- which gave up 52 points on this field less than a month ago -- shut down Auburn for most of the game.

    "We weren't going to play soft with these guys," Arkansas defensive coordinator Willy Robinson said.

    The Tigers scored three touchdowns during a quick flurry toward the end of the third quarter, but by then the Razorbacks had built a commanding lead.

    "They were an undefeated team, getting a lot of hype. They were ranked," Arkansas defensive lineman Jake Bequette said. "Any time a team like that comes into our house, we have to respond."

    Arkansas (3-2, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) started the game by holding the Tigers to their first scoreless quarter of the season. The Razorbacks led 6-0 after one, then broke the game open in the second.

    Nelson's big hit came in the second quarter. When he tackled Fannin, their facemasks appeared to become tangled, and Fannin ended up losing his helmet.

    Smith gave Arkansas a 13-0 lead with a 25-yard scoring run. Fannin then fumbled away the kickoff, and Ryan Mallett threw a 16-yard pass to Greg Childs for Arkansas' second touchdown in 47 seconds.

    At halftime it was 27-3, a surprising score since Auburn (5-1, 2-1) came in averaging 41 points a game.

    "You can't play like we did today and win in the SEC," said Gene Chizik, who lost for the first time as Auburn's coach.

    Auburn offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn was a successful high school coach in northwest Arkansas, and he was the Razorbacks' offensive coordinator in 2006. After leaving the Hogs, he spent two years on the Tulsa staff before heading to Auburn.

    Malzahn lost to his former school for the second straight year. Last season, his offense at Tulsa scored in every quarter before coming up empty in the fourth period of a November loss in Fayetteville.

    "With Gus, it's like rolling the dice," Robinson said. "For the first eight plays, we didn't see anything he had done in the previous five games. Not a thing."

    Whether they were surprised or not, the Razorbacks looked prepared, and their defense has come a long way since a 52-41 home loss to Georgia on Sept. 19. Meanwhile, Arkansas' offense continues to click for coach Bobby Petrino. Smith played his best game of the season before hurting his right leg in the third quarter. Mallett went 24 of 37 for 274 yards and two touchdowns with an interception.

    Mallett's 4-yard touchdown run made it 34-3 in the third quarter before Auburn scored three touchdowns in just over five minutes. Ben Tate scored on a 1-yard run, and after an Arkansas punt, he broke free around the right side for a 60-yard touchdown. The Tigers then held on fourth down and took over at their own 34. Terrell Zachery immediately went 60 yards on a reverse, and Onterio McCalebb scored on a 3-yard run a short while later.

    Suddenly, it was 34-23, and Auburn had rushed for 207 yards in the third quarter alone.

    Dennis Johnson helped the Razorbacks regain momentum with a 70-yard kickoff return, and Broderick Green's 3-yard touchdown run made it 41-23 with 11:22 remaining.

    Johnson also returned a kickoff 50 yards in the first half.

    "Any time it looked like it was going to be close, Dennis changed the field position," Petrino said.

    Tate ran for 184 yards and two touchdowns, but Auburn's Chris Todd was only 15 of 28 for 133 yards.

    "We had no movement during the first half. It took us some time to warm up today," Todd said. "Today was an eye opener."

    Arkansas was without wide receiver Joe Adams, who Petrino said had a mild stroke earlier in the week. Adams was held out of the game, although he did wear his jersey. His status going forward is unclear.

    I wonder if Capt OSU will believe me now when I say we have a coaching problem at UGA. Willie Martinez has to go with John Fabris, otherwise you can expect the same results next year.


    I originally thought 8-4 myself this year, but you have no business losing to a team like Tenn. like that. Its embarrassing to the program, which is currently 9-6 over its last 15 games. Over that same period of time, our once vaulted defense has given up games of 37, 41, 45, 45, 38, 49, 38, and 41. During Brian Van Gorder's time (the 4 years prior to Martinez) the Dawgs never lost a game where they score more than 17 points and never gave up more than 28 points! Its not a recruiting problem since UGA is typically in the top 5 in the country.

    Any thoughts Chili?

    PS I still think Bama is the cream of the crop this year. Defense is so strong. The Bama-FL SEC championship game is going to be fun this year.

    yeah if UGA played Auburn now, we'd probably lose. But things could easily change by the time that game comes around. When I made those picks in June, I honestly didn't see UGA looking as bad as they did in their losses, especially to Tennessee. So it makes me wonder about the rest of the year.

    yeah I remember when UGA was one of those tough hard-nosed SEC defenses that Alabama has. It's kinda sad how many points this team has given up the last two seasons. Last year's Florida game is one example. But honestly, I can understand that because Florida could score on anyone. It was the GA Tech game in 2008 that made me cringe. UGA definitely needs to make some changes.

    I heard Tubbs liked AU by 3 touches. Doubt it'll be that much
    He actually went on both stations that day and said two different things but in the end did declare an AU victory both ways.

    _ _

    Pretty happy about the win against the real Tigers but expected a uva better showing from them. Kind of reminded me when they were ranked 2nd a few years ago and when ran them off the field. Arkansas has exposed Auburn this season, and have also shown their offense can be brilliant under Petrino.

    The only complaint I have is a common one for us and that was depth. Auburn scored 20 unanswered in the third exposing our depth chart on defense. None the less the Hogs finished the game strong.

    Hogs look ahead now to the swamp and nobody here is dumb enough to think Florida is overlooking us. they got Misstake next anyhow.

    Arkansas got punched in the mouth against the Bama defense. Petrino stated the team was unprepared and nervous in not believing they could win and it ended in a swift kick in the ass. (not a quote) However it was a turning point for the defense really, for the first half of the game they played well.

    So in my mind the Hogs are dangerous. They could very well go into Florida and win because of their offense. And if the defense can play at a slightly above average level they have the last 2 weeks that would be nice. Mainly because that Gator offense does not impress me. It's that defense that could shut us down like in the Bama game.

    UF has a 24 point line on the Hogs. As a fan I disagree with that but I have no idea what to expect. If we can get our run game working we'll likely score a lot of points because of our passing game.

    I was really shocked to see Georgia get handled. UT is not that damn good. Arkansas let UGA look like a full team of All Americans. UGA is probably the most talented team in the SEC that you have no idea what to expect from. Even more so than LSew.

    Ole Miss got slapped again. Imagine what that score would have been in Bama. Snead is terrible and seriously where are the people that said he was so ing great and would do wonders? AKA everyone in the media? ...just wow. Houston Nutt does not develop good passing quarterbacks.

    Auburn looks bad right now. UF continues to get it done. Bama defense is ridiculous. SEC power rankings from ESPN:

    1. Alabama: The Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0) have gone eight straight quarters without allowing a touchdown and have turned Mark Ingram loose on offense. The sop re running back rushed for 246 yards in the 20-6 win over South Carolina, the most yards ever in Bryant-Denny Stadium. The Crimson Tide haven’t been perfect, but they have been the most complete team in the league.

    2. Florida: Tim Tebow and a couple of generous penalties saved the Gators (6-0, 4-0) in their 23-20 escape at home against Arkansas. There are some warning signs on offense, and Tebow was sacked six times. But given the chance to win the game in the fourth quarter, Tebow got it done … again.

    3. LSU: Everybody’s sort of forgotten about the Tigers (5-1, 3-1) after their home loss to Florida two weeks ago. But coming off an open date, they still control their own destiny in the Western Division. If they win out, they will play in the SEC championship game. That quest starts Saturday at home against a reeling Auburn team.

    4. South Carolina: The Game s (5-2, 2-2) and Stephen Garcia would love to have that pass in the first 62 seconds of the game back, the one Mark Barron took back for a touchdown. Otherwise, South Carolina played Alabama straight up, although the Game s’ tackling could stand to be a little crisper. Now they have to prove they can finish a season.

    5. Ole Miss: Jevan Snead responded with the big game everybody had been waiting for in the 48-13 win over UAB. Snead and the Rebels (4-2, 1-2) are still searching for their first quality win, though, and face an improving Arkansas team on Saturday in Oxford. It’s a game Ole Miss has to win if it wants to have any chance of making this season a successful one after a disappointing start.

    6. Arkansas: The Hogs (3-3, 1-3) don’t have a glistening record, but two of their losses were to the top two-ranked teams in the country, most recently Florida. Arkansas’ defense has made tremendous improvement, which makes this a dangerous club the rest of the way. The Hogs probably deserved better at the Swamp and were the victim of a couple of bad calls.

    7. Tennessee: When last heard from, the Vols (3-3, 1-2) were in the process of destroying Georgia. They were off last week and should be pretty healthy going to Alabama on Saturday. Monte Kiffin has been watching a ton of film on the Crimson Tide. The Vols will need a memorable day from the defense to have a chance in this game.

    8. Georgia: After two straight losses, the Bulldogs (4-3, 3-2) can breathe a little easier this week after pulling away from Vanderbilt for a 34-10 win. But there’s still plenty to prove. They get a week off before squaring off with Florida Oct. 31. One way or another, that game will dictate how this season is remembered in Dawg Land.

    9. Kentucky: The Wildcats (3-3, 1-3) aren’t dead after all. They reached down deep despite missing starting quarterback Mike Hartline and starting cornerback Trevard Lindley and snapped a three-game losing streak with a 21-14 win at Auburn. In doing so, Kentucky kept alive its hopes of getting to a bowl for a fourth straight year.

    10. Auburn: How different does this Auburn team look now as compared to three weeks ago? The Tigers (5-2, 2-2) have lost two in a row, including the 21-14 setback to Kentucky at home last week. Defense has been the major stumbling block. The Tigers can’t stop anybody, but their offense also let them down in the loss to the Wildcats.

    11. Mississippi State: After coming so close to breaking through in the previous three weeks, the Bulldogs (3-4, 1-2) went on the road to Middle Tennessee and won 27-6 behind another strong rushing performance from Anthony Dixon. This is a team that’s improved probably more than its record says. Dan Mullen goes up against his mentor, Urban Meyer, this Saturday.

    12. Vanderbilt: It’s hard to imagine it getting much worse for the Commodores (2-5, 0-3) on offense. They’ve lost five of their last six games and haven’t scored more than 13 points in any of those five losses. Any chances of going to a second straight bowl game are quickly disappearing. They get South Carolina this Saturday and have won the last two against the Game s.

    Hey BRHornet, you ready to see your offense have a big day? With the crappy AU defense coming to Baton Rouge you guys should roll up around 10,000 yards of offense, in the first half. Worst Auburn defense in a long, long time. This game tends to be wacky though so hopefully it'll be fun to watch.

    Some interesting notes on the series:

    CLOSE ENCOUNTERS
    Twelve of the 21 meetings in the Auburn-LSU series since 1988 have been decided by less than a touchdown. And like all good Southern football series, many of those games have earned memorable les. Examples:

    1988: LSU scored with 1:41 remaining to down fourth-ranked Auburn, 7-6. The noise from the Tiger Stadium crowd registered on a campus seismograph, thus earning the contest the le of "Earthquake Game."

    1994: Auburn returned three of its five fourth-quarter interceptions for touchdowns to rally from a two-touchdown deficit and win 30-26. Auburn and LSU fans alike still recall the "Interception Game."

    1995: Wearing the traditional white jerseys at home for the first time in 13 years, LSU stunned fifth-ranked Auburn, 12-6, when Troy Twillie intercepted Patrick Nix's 11-yard pass into the end zone with no time remaining. The 1997 LSU media guide referred to this game under the heading "Bring Back The Magic."

    1996: "The Night The Barn Burned" will long be remembered on the Plains. As the old Auburn Sports Arena burned just outside Jordan-Hare Stadium, LSU defeated Auburn 19-15. After missing three field goals and an extra point, Auburn cut LSU's lead to 17-15 with :38 remaining, but Jon Cooley's two-point pass attempt was picked off by Raion Hill, who returned it the other way for two points.

    1997: Dameyune Craig led Auburn on an 80-yard, 10-play drive in the game's final three minutes to deliver a 31-28 upset of 10th-ranked LSU in "The Comeback." Rusty Williams capped the drive on a 1-yard touchdown plunge with :30 remaining. LSU attempted a 65-yard FG on the game's final play, but Quinton Reese blocked it to seal the Auburn win.

    2004: With the threat of Hurricane Ivan looming, members of the Auburn football team spent Wednesday though Friday nights in hotels as the Auburn University campus was closed, but the game went on as scheduled. The seemingly automatic extra point proved to be a challenge for both teams, but a second chance for Auburn allowed the Tigers to emerge with a 10-9 win in "The Extra Point Game." LSU missed the PAT after its first-quarter touchdown, but still led 9-3 late in the game. After Courtney Taylor hauled in a 16-yard score with just 1:14 left to tie the score, Auburn missed its extra point. An LSU personal foul gave John Vaughn a second chance, and he delivered the winning point.

    2005: The first overtime game between the two teams was won by LSU, 20-17, when John Vaughn's 39-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright. A 30-yard field goal by LSU's Chris Jackson to start the overtime turned out to be the winning points. Jackson forced overtime with a 44-yard field goal with just 1:40 left, moments after Auburn had taken a 17-14 lead on a 5-yard pass from Brandon Cox to Anthony Mix on fourth down with 4:52 left.

    2006: In a battle between two top-10 teams, Brandon Cox's 1-yard quarterback sneak in the third quarter was the only touchdown in a 7-3 Auburn victory. No. 3 Auburn held off two late scoring chances for No. 6 LSU, as Eric Brock ended one drive by tipping away a fourth-down pass, then tackled Craig Davis on the 4-yard line on the game's final play to preserve the victory.

    2007: Matt Flynn hit Demetrius Byrd with a 22-yard scoring pass with just one second left to lift No. 5 LSU to a 30-24 victory over No. 18 Auburn. Brandon Cox had connected with Rodgeriqus Smith on a 3-yard scoring pass with just 3:21 left to give Auburn a 24-23 lead before Flynn's pass capped a 58-yard game-winning drive.

    2008: Jarrett Lee's 18-yard touchdown pass to Brandon LaFell with 1:03 left gave No. 6 LSU a come-from-behind 26-21 win over No. 10 Auburn in Jordan-Hare Stadium. Auburn had taken a 21-20 lead with just 6:40 left when Chris Todd found Robert Dunn for a 15-yard score, before Lee led LSU on the game-winning drive.

    In all, 21 of the 43 games played between the two schools have been decided by a touchdown or less, with LSU owning an 11-9-1 edge in those games.

    Well it feel good to say and see that Arkansas under BP is finally improving. And not just dominating one thing like Dale Nutt did. (run game.) This team is believing in their coaches and it's showing on the field.

    We did get screwed on the calls, it happens though. We have got the better hand in some games in the past. But this game felt oddly similar to last years game against Ole Piss. Phantom calls and no-calls that leave announcers speechless for 15 seconds and fans going ?wtf??

    But in the end Arkansas sacked T-Boy 6 times and held Florida to 3 yards per carry. The Hogs have a Nuttboy kicker and this isn't the first game he has blown for us, just the first one this season. They do one thing ya know.. it never fails to amaze me. .. but twice? o Arkansas/Alabama game a couple years ago the Tiffin? Wasn't that his name Bama fans?

    Not to mention not doing with the ball once we forced a turnover. This game was a true defensive game and both teams had one long ass nice ing play to be frank for scores.

    In the end Arkansas failed to score what "could have been" 33 points. They ended up getting slapped in the face by the refs and shot themselves in the leg anyways. Florida did too however, as this was a physical game. They turned it over 4 times and won, that's pretty rare. Florida is damn ing good and I think people underestimate them.

    At least it shows our improvement. Screw moral victories but damn, sucks to ing lose.

    As if it wasn't already clear that Ole Miss.. well, ing sucks.. I am expecting a blowout next weekend in Oxford.

    The officiating in the SEC this year has been terrible, I agree with ya Brutalis. Arkansas has improved a lot, especially that defense. Should be an interesting game against OM next weekend.

    Ole miss doesn't suck, but they've got middle of the pack pretender status.

    I like bama, they're a good team very disciplined defense though they've looked a bit weak against the slants and quick hit routes so far today

    this incredibly boring SEC game is what makes the SEC so great

    alabama sure is good at kicking field goals though
    that's how a number 1 should look
