Georgia v USCe and Kentucky v Florida will just about predict the SEC East race.
Smart gave Muschamp plenty to worry about this week. Jet sweeps with 3 different WRs that went for big gains (one a 72 yard TD from Demetris Robertson), passes to TEs and RBs, QB1 and QB2 showing enough that Muschump will be staying up late worrying, and even QB3 getting into the game.
Kirby discussed the Austin Peay injuries with their HC and the officials at the end of 3rd quarter and they all agreed to cut the 4th quarter to 10 minutes. By then Georgia had all the scrubs in the game and still held AP scoreless.
Florida looks like they can finally put some offense on the field. Whether that is true against a decent FBS team we will find out Saturday.

Florida is going to extend the winning streak to 32 over Kentucky. It will tie Florida and Oklahoma in 3rd place for the longest continuous uninterrupted win streak in the history of college football. Oklahoma's is over Kansas State. I think 36 is the next magic mark for UF to tie for 2nd place. Notre Dame over Navy is in the mid 40s.

The Gators offense? I'll believe it when I see it. The offense was vanilla for Feleipe Franks, but at 6'6"/240, the kid should be a player at QB for Mullen. My biggest concern is the OL. I still don't see the Gators dominating the LOS even against a scrimmage opponent like Charleston Southern. The pass protection with the OL/RBs looks better which is a relief as being poor at that has injured Gator QBs over the last 8 years. I want to see a cleaner running game with few OL false starts against Kentucky. I'm not concerned about the passing game at this point and the WRs/RBs are excellent. Everything on the O hinges on the OL carrying their weight for a change.

Don't snooze on the Gamecocks. Muschamp has a good team that will challenge Georgia this weekend.

Walt, I hate to recommend taking UCLA at Oklahoma off the list, but the line opened at OU -25 and has grown to -29 1/2/-30 depending on the site. The problem is starting QB Winton Speight, the Michigan transfer, hurt his back in the first half of UCLA's loss to Cincinnati at home. Speights is questionable, but I doubt he plays with a hurt back. He isn't even practicing. The Sooner can probably name their score against the young Bruins. I don't think there is any reasonable spread for this game.

I'd pick up Nevada at Vanderbilt or Air Force at Florida Atlantic. They should be competitive games.

I'd drop the Mildcats v Flarder too. The Kentucky QBs are worse than the Lizards the last 8 years. 55% passing and 2 INTs against a middling MAC team.

No way. UK at UF is up to tie an NCAA 32 straight win record.
