Don't Bet On It!: Week Nine College Football Forecasts Around the SEC
A perfect 5-0 mark in last week’s SEC forecasts improved my season-long league ledger to 39-9. Obviously, that means I am due for a letdown, so please pay attention when I warn you: Don’t Bet On It!
Here are my picks for this week’s slate of conference games, all of which will be played on Saturday, October 30, and with respect to which you may detect a recurring theme:
Kentucky Wildcats at Mississippi St. Bulldogs: No one in Bulldog Nation cares about this game. It’s the week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, for crying out loud! Mississippi State.
Vanderbilt Commodores at Arkansas Razorbacks: No one in Bulldog Nation cares about this game. It’s the week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, for crying out loud! Arkansas.
Tennessee Volunteers at South Carolina Gamecocks: No one in Bulldog Nation cares about this game. It’s the week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, for crying out loud! South Carolina.
Auburn Tigers at Mississippi Rebels: No one in Bulldog Nation cares about this game. It’s the week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, for crying out loud! Auburn.
Despite the fact that this posting offers the kind of trenchant analysis you don’t get anywhere outside of a Loran Smith sideline report---yes, I like boiled peanuts---you shouldn’t put too much stock in my prognostications, so, whatever you do, . . . Don’t Bet On It!
Coming Soon: National Games We Don’t Care About Because It’s the Week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party of Interest.
Go ‘Dawgs!

Not only do I agree with all your picks,
but betting against you is becoming eerily similar to betting against Camasaurus Maximus. Or as my grandpappy used to say, “There’s just no percentage in it.”
TK, my forecast is that you will be 5-0 again this week if you pick the Pups in Jville...
…and OF COURSE, like every week, the Nebraska game is on here in Omaha at the same time as the Georgia game. IF you’re lucky you might find a sports bar here with one TV out of 50 not tuned into the Husker game….and that one is probably on the Iowa game.
The big game here this week is naturally Missouri-Nebraska but..No one in Bulldog Nation cares about this game. It’s the week of the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party, for crying out loud! – Nebraska
but, but, but
CBS always carries the WLOCP at 3:30 eastern….surely it’s not being pre-empted by the silly cornhusker game….besides, who names a football team after the activity of removing corn from it’s husks anyway? Yes Battlestar Galactica fans, I’m aware that this guy is called Husker:

I can bake like a demon.
Someone husking corn is almost as terrifying a mascot as a tiny bumblebee :-)
