- Vandy gets Baylor who last year was garbage. Let's see how Matt Rhule's O does vs the Commodores
- Auburn gets Purdue who can really move the football. nice matchup here.
- South Carolina gets Virginia. Muschamp vs Bronco. interesting matchup of contrasting styles in personality
- Florida gets Michigan. I am curious to see how the Gators match up against what should be a revitalized Michigan team looking to atone for their drubbing in Columbus
- Alabama gets Oklahoma. Kyler Murray show all over that field. Get Ready Tide Fans
- Missouri gets Oklahoma State. OSU has lots of seniors and they should move the ball vs their former BIG 12 brethren
- Texas A&M gets NC State. Aggies got lit up by weak offense LSU. i think the Wolfpack can score in this game
- Mississippi State gets Iowa. Hawkeyes nothing great offensively but i will take their coach over the Bulldogs coach any day
- Kentucky gets Penn State. Wildcats a nice story but a paper tiger. Penn St QB goes nuts this game.
- LSU gets UCF. it's a shame Milton got hurt and that UCF will start a frosh at QB, but they will be very amped to be there and should move the ball that day.
- Georgia gets Texas. thankfully Texas has a month for their QB to heal up after the shoulder injury suffered late in the season. better matchup here than the point spread indicates.
Let's see how many SEC teams listed above, give up MORE than their avg Defensive Points per game for the year.
My guess is that it will be more than half, maybe more like 75% of the teams above, will give up more points in the bowl game than their season average
