    WTF? Vandy, UK and Miss State are all 3-0

    The last time all 3 teams started 3-0? Try 1911. Unreal.

    Can you imagine if they are all 4-0 next week? That would mean.

    Vandy beat Bama
    UK beats UF
    MSU beats UGA


    Could the little 3 beat one of the Big6 SEC teams? Vandy's defense is ranked higher than Bama's. Maybe the earth is flat

    All 3 teams are dogs this week.

    Vandy +18.5, +710
    UK +2.5, +125
    MSU +6.5, +230

    MSU looks like a bullshit alert to me. I think the wrong team is favored here. I'm all over MSU. I think Vandy covers easily as well.

    I doubt if Vandy can upset Alabama, but Kentucky and Mississippi State have solid chances against Offenseless Florida and Georgia. As far as the spread is concerned, all three dogs have a good chance of covering.

    BigDaddy called it. said the SEC East was wide open. that's 2 of those teams...

    i've forgotten to check...... is steve johnson or drew barker qb for kentucky?

    i posted this elsewhere but miss state is #1 team in country based on power rating that only analyzes this year's games... power ratings in general would still connect quite substantially to pre-season values - especially with so many major team game cancellations.

    College analysts need to evaluate teams more on tv, talk about the O and D lines instead of just mainly skill positions because when teams lose people are shocked because all they mainly see is the name of that team and think how could they lose to such and such. State dominated LSU, beautifully coached game by the Miss. St. squad.

    Kentuckys run defense is vastly improved as is their overall D. They have a shot against Florida but if I'm betting this game I'm looking at the under because both teams have stout defenses.

    BINGO!!! Key to capping football. Ignore the dip sh!ts on TV and start with the injury reports on the guys up front.

    Be careful lumping Georgia in with the rest of the rudderless SEC East offenses. They can run the ball and have some play makers. Defense is 2nd best in the SEC to Alabama and shut a Notre Dame team down that's otherwise put up 500 yards of offense a game. I'm usually skeptical on Georgia but that team has some players on it this year

    Jay. The TV clowns cater to their perception of what they think the people in TV land want to hear, NOT what may be the truth. You are totally correct, as is A4K. how long have I been preaching in here about the fact that Orgeron cannot win the big games? Sure LSU will beat Syracuse and Troy, and should beat Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and A&M, but what about the games at Florida and Alabama? Fading LSU and taking what ever the ML is for the opponents is like a free spot in Bingo.

    KLC - that Texas A&M/ Arky game is huge for one those head coaches. Sumlin and Big Bert are both on scorching hot seats. I think the loser might get fired Monday morning.
