Well, here we go again. Yet another big SEC week, the big game is Alabama @ Georgia. Auburn vs. Tennessee is big too. Let's take a look at my predictions for this weeks games:
Auburn vs. Tennessee
Auburn is coming off of a very close loss to LSU last week. They lost it in the last minute. Tennessee is coming off of a very not close game against Florida. They lost 30-6. What more could these two teams have to play for? The loser will probably be out of the SEC race for this year. I think the Auburn defense will be ready to stop the offense of Tennessee. I think Auburn's offense will be ready to put up some points on that mediocre SEC defense at Tennessee. This game shouldn't be very close, but could be. Auburn's running game will look better this week. Tuberville said that Kodi Burns should get in this week. If that is so, the offense could take some strides forward. I think the offense will put up some points. My prediction: Auburn-31 Tennessee-10
Alabama @ Georgia
The gameday crew is moving from Auburn to Athens, Georgia to watch yet another big SEC matchup of top 10 teams. This one could be as good as last weeks. The Alabama offense hasn't seen a defense as good as Georgia's yet this year. They COULD have some trouble. On the other hand, Georgia's offense hasn't seen a defense as good as Alabama's yet this year. This is going to be a great game. I think Georgia's O-line will have some problems with Alabama's D-line, at first. I think Georgia will be just a little too much for the tide to handle. My prediction: Georgia-28 Alabama-24
That's all I have for today................................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Predictions
What a weekend we have upon us. 4 big SEC game, headlined by the game that is on the plains. I've had a lot going on with school this week, sorry I haven't been able to post this earlier. Some of these games are already over, but I am going to tell you what I thought going in to the weekend. Here are my prediction:
Auburn vs. LSU
This is the game I have been waiting for. I am pumped for this one. Two of the best defenses in the country, and two offenses that have questions to answer. Auburn's defense, in my opinion, has looked like the best in the SEC thus far. LSU's defense is a close second. What a game this looks to be. The #10 team in the country vs. the #6 team in the country, somebody has to lose. Both defenses are going to look to make the offenses one dimensional. I think they will load up the box and stop the run, forcing the offenses to pass the ball. The question is, who will have the better passing game? This game is going to come down to special teams. Robert Dunn will have a couple of chances to put Auburn in good field position, and I think he will. Wes Byrum is great in big games, and has shown that he is clutch. Another key to this game is the fact that LSU doesn't have a quaterback that has started an away game in the SEC, and to ask them to come into Auburn at night and win against this defense............It's just too much to ask in my opinion. My prediction: Auburn-13 LSU-10
Alabama @ Arkansas
This game should show something about Alabama, at least a little more. Arkansas has been terrible so far this season. They have beaten Western Illinois and Louisiana Monroe by a combined 5 points. That's right, 5! Alabama should handle them pretty easily and take care of business. Alabama will line up and dominate both sides of the line. I look for Alabama to win this one big. My prediction: Alabama-32 Arkansas-10
Florida @ Tennessee
The third big SEC game. Tim Tebow is superman. Tennessee can not compare with Florida's offensive fire power. Percy Harvin is back to health, and that offense will light up the defense. I think Florida will win this one pretty easily. My prediction: Florida-31 Tennessee-17
Ole Miss vs. Vanderbilt
Both teams have looked pretty impressive this year. Both teams have shown loads of improvement. Vanderbilt beat a ranked team, and Ole Miss came very close to doing so. I look for this game to be very close and hard fought. I think Chris Nickson will be everywhere, making him my key to the game. I think Ole Miss will be ready for him and make this a game. My prediction: Vanderbilt-20 Ole Miss-17
Georgia @ Arizona St.
Georgia barely escaped South Carolina without a loss. It was as close as I thought. Georgia has not looked like the top team in the country so far, and have dropped to #3 in the country. They really need to make a statement this week against a non-conference foe. I think Georgia will do just that. My prediction: Georgia-27 Arizona St-9
This is going to be a great weekend of college football, especially in the Southeastern Conference. The season is finally in full swing. Good luck to all. That's all I have for today...................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What A Crazy Weekend
Sorry I haven't had time to get on here and post about last weekend, but I'm gonna go ahead and do so. It was a crazy weekend for us Auburn fans. What about for everyone else? Let's look at all the games that I predicted:
Auburn vs. Mississippi St
I'm going to start out by saying.............WOW! What a game it was. No one expected what happened. While it was a very good defensive game, I, I'm sure along with all other true Auburn fans, was stressed out. The game starts out and Auburn can't get anything going. After kicking a field goal early in the 2nd quater, I expected that to change......It didn't happen. Mississippi St kept Auburn out of the end zone and Auburn never scored again. The problem for the Bulldogs was that Auburn's defense was a little bit better. Never giving up a point. Auburn's offensive output was not terribly bad, they had 315 yards of total offense, which is more than they had in 6 games last season. So, why did they only score 3 points? When you have 9 penalties on the offensive line and 3 turnovers, it is very hard to put the ball in the end zone. In fact, the offense gave up more points than the defense did. With around 7 minutes left in the 4th, Mississippi St had Auburn pinned inside the 5 yard line. Chris Todd dropped back to pass and Ryan Pugh gets called for holding in the end zone, resulting in a safety. That would be the only time Miss St. would score. The Auburn defense did just enough to win the game. My prediction was way off, but I am very happy with any win. My prediction: 31-10 Actual score: 3-2 (no, it isn't a typo)
My Opinion on the Game:
The Auburn offense looked terrible. That is what I have heard from everyone that I have talked to this week. It seems as though everyone has a solution but the Auburn coaches. The fact that Auburn had 315 yards is something that most people did not realize. The main problem in Saturday's game was penalties and turnovers. The coaches have got to shed those numbers off. It is very hard to win games when you have this problem. Auburn has had 3 turnovers in 2 consecutive games, and that number has got to go. Fumbles can not happen if you want to win football games in the SEC. I believe this week Auburn will be fired up and come out a completely different team. The problems will be adressed by the coaches every practice this week. Hopefully, this week, the offensive line will be a lot more disciplined, and reduce those 9 penalties. All we can do is wait and see.
Alabama vs. Western Kentucky
Alabama did just what they needed to do. They beat Western Kentucky. Let's give them a round of applause for that big win! They finally beat a lesser opponent by a large margin. That is something they haven't been able to do recently. They proved me wrong. I expected the same Alabama team as always, but we didn't get it. My prediction: 28-9 Actual score: 41-7
My opinion on the game
No comment, just kidding, I always have a comment. Like I said, they proved me wrong and actually played a football game. I was definitely a little surprised that they won that big, but is it really impressive? No, not at all. It is just Western Kentucky. SEC teams are supposed to win big against teams like that. It only surprised me that they actually did it. Alabama plays Arkansas this week, lets see if they can keep it up against a real team. Although Arkansas has been very pathetic thus far, and in my opinion is the worst team in the SEC to this point. We won't really know much until next week against Georgia.
Georgia @ South Carolina
I thought it would be close, and it was. South Carolina was leading most of the first half. Georgia had a hard time in their first away game. It was hard fought, but in the end, they came away with a win. Apparantly it wasn't convincing enough to the voters, cause Oklahoma jumped them in the polls. Georgia is now #3 after starting out #1. They have a big out of conference game this week vs. Arizona St. Lets hope they can make the SEC look good and take out the Pac-10. My prediction: 27-13 Actual score: 14-7
USC vs Ohio St
Blowout? Yes, that is the perfect word for it. Ohio St had no answer for USC, especially without Chris "Beanie" Wells. Ohio St looked to be very over-rated Saturday. This is our only game to see them play against a good team. They will more than likely go the rest of the year without losing, possibly landing them back in the national championship game. After watching this game, it is obvious that they are not worthy of playing in that game. I honestly don't think "Beanie" could have done much. Too bad we don't get a playoff. My Prediction:32-13 Actual Score: 35-3
We have a great weekend coming up. There are 3 big conference game, and Georgia playing a big out of conference game. The game of the week is Auburn vs. LSU, and if you like defense, you might want to tune in. Anyways, that's all I have for today................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thursday Predictions
Sorry I haven't updated since last Saturday, but I forgot to do it. I am going to be gone for the weekend, so I am going to go ahead and post my predictions for the weekend. It is just Thursday, and Saturday seems so far away, although it is less than two days. Here goes the Saturday Predictions:
Auburn @ Mississippi St.
Finally, an SEC game. Saturday is Step 1 towards an SEC Championship. You have to win these games to get there. We haven't seen much from the Auburn offense so far, but we could see it open up a little bit more. I don't think we will see it fully up and running until next week, but more than last week. There was lots of improvement from week 1 to week 2, and if Auburn can make the same improvement this week, they will be great. This will be, by far, the most physical team they have played this year. Anthony Dixon will, in my opinion, be stopped by this awesome Auburn Defense. Hopefully, Chris Todd will play even better than last week. I think the turnover problem that caused us to lose last year to Mississippi St, will be fixed. Personally, I don't think this game is going to be close. My pick: Auburn-31 Mississippi St.-10
Alabama vs. Western Kentucky
Should I even predict this game? This SHOULD be a blowout win for Alabama, but will they play down to their competition like they did last week? This game should be out of reach in the first quater, but I'm not sure that it will. I'm not brave enough to pick Western Kentucky, and I don't think this game will be close. My pick: Alabama-28 Western Kentucky-9
Georgia @ South Carolina
I think this game could be closer than the experts think. South Carolina played bad in the loss against Vanderbilt, but they will come out better than that this week. I think Georgia will play like, well, Georgia. My pick: Georgia-27 South Carolina-13
USC vs Ohio St
This is the big one outside of the SEC. Everyone has been talking about this game since the schedules were released. Quite frankly, I'm ready for them to shut up and talk about the SEC, but that isn't my decision. I don't think this game will be close at all. Ohio St. is highly overrated, and USC is loaded with talent. Beanie Wells is questionable. What more could go wrong for Ohio St.? Yes, they will look better than they did last week vs Ohio, but it will not translate in a "W". I think USC will win with passing and letting Joe McKnight be himself. My pick: USC-32 Ohio St.-13
All in all, I see a great weekend ahead. It will be fun, no matter what. That's all I have for today.......................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday Predictions
Outside of the SEC, this week doesn't have many big games. That doesn't make this week any less exciting. Let's take a look at the games of the week:
Auburn vs Southern Miss
Last week was very disappointing on the offensive side. The defense, on the other hand, was no disappointmen at all. Auburn had a Touchdown on Offense, Defense, and Special Teams last week. This is a game with two spread offenses going at it, so it should be fun to watch. Chris Todd is getting the start, and Burns is questionable. I think Auburn will pull this one out pretty easily. Paul Rhoads' defenses have a history of being very good against the spread, and I don't think that will change today. Southern Miss will not be able to move the ball very much. As far as the Auburn offense goes, I think they will look some better than last week. They will continue to get better every week. I pick: Auburn-31 Southern Miss-6
Alabama vs Tulane
Alabama looked like a new team last week, how will they follow it up? Tulane will be an easy game, but don't forget about Louisiana Monroe last year! I'm definitely not going with the upset, but we will see if the 32 million dollar man can get his team ready for this game. I think they will be ready this week, and momentum will carry over. I pick: Alabama-28 Tulane-7
Ole Miss vs Wake Forrest
I think this game will be very close. It is only a matter of time before Houston Nutt gets this team competing in the league. Jevon Snead will have to step up big time today against a pretty good Wake Forrest team. I think Ole Miss will pull the upset this week, and the SEC once again shows the ACC who is boss. I pick: Ole Miss-24 Wake Forrest-20
Florida vs Miami
Miami is on the rise. In order for them to win this one, they will have to keep Tebow contained. I don't think Miami is quiet there yet. Florida has too much talent for Miami. I pick: Florida-31 Miami-24
Georgia Tech vs Boston College
The option is back, or at least at Georgia Tech. I think this will be fun to watch. Boston College probably won't know how to stop the Triple-option attack. I think Georgia tech is going to run all over the place. I pick: Georgia Tech-34 Boston College-24
I hope everyone has just as good a week of college football as I am going to have. There aren't many Big games, but there are plenty of good match ups. That's all I have for today......................................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!

Chris Todd to Start on Saturday
After a, pretty much, terrible showing by Auburn Quaterbacks in Saturday's game vs. Louisiana Monroe, Tuberville and Franklin have named Chris Todd the starter for game 2 vs. Southern Miss. Kodi Burns was hurt in game 1, and is questionable. He may or may not play this week. IF Burns plays, the coaches will look to rotate the quaterbacks a little different this week. They hope to allow one of them to get into some sort of rhythm. They think that was a main problem in last weeks passing game. Neither qb got into a rhythm and Auburn only had a total of 85 yards. Hopefully the passing game will be able to compliment the running game that had 321 yards last week. The only thing that is for sure is the defense will be there and ready to play when the game starts. All we can do is wait and see if the offense will be as ready. That's all I've got for now.........................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!
I posted 3 posts today, so check out the other 2 below this one also!

What a Weekend!
The first weekend, is behind us. What happened? The SEC picked up just where it left off last season, dominating the competition. Only 2 teams have come away with a loss. Those teams are Mississippi St., who lost to Louisiana Tech 22-14, and Tennessee, who lost in Overtime to UCLA 27-24. Everyone else took care of business. Lets take a quick look at a couple of the games:
Auburn vs Louisiana Monroe
The game started out very dissappointing. The offense came out and did absolutely nothing. Then, Auburn football started. The first play of the game, ULM's qb dropped back to pass only to find Antonio Coleman hitting him in the back, causing him to fumble. Michael Goggins then picked up the ball (pictured below) going in for the score. The rest of the game, the defense dominated. T
he passing game struggled, and the running game was, well, Auburn's running game. They rushed for 321 yards. In the game the quaterbacks couldn't hardly get the ball to the receivers, and when they did, they would drop the ball. The passing game was very, very dissappointing. Kodi Burns got a huge cut on his leg, and Phillip-Pierre Louis was knocked out for the season on the opening kick off. Tubs has been bragging on Louis ever since the spring, and I was excited to see him play. Burns is going to be fine. Besides this, Auburn won the game 34-0, and did what they were supposed to do.
Alabama vs Clemson
How good is Clemson? That is the question I have been asking ever since the game has been over. Alabama came out Saturday ready to go right at them, and they did. Dominating the offensive and defensive fronts. If we knew how good Clemson really was, we could judge Alabama. Alabama showed loads of improvement. They looked like a completely new team from last year. Clemson, on the other hand, looked like a completely new team also. They looked horrible and couldn't get anything going. It was a great game for Bama who won the game 34-10.
This week will show us even more, and I can't wait for another great week of College Football! That's all I've got for today.......................WAR EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!
Auburn vs Louisiana Monroe
The game started out very dissappointing. The offense came out and did absolutely nothing. Then, Auburn football started. The first play of the game, ULM's qb dropped back to pass only to find Antonio Coleman hitting him in the back, causing him to fumble.
