#17 Tigers (9-2, 6-2 ACC) vs #12 Gamecocks (9-2, 6-2 SEC)
The Battle for the Palmetto State will be a spicy one this year, as both of the state’s FBS representative have fielded excellent squads.
#2 Crimson Tide (10-1, 6-1 SEC) vs #24 Tigers (7-4, 4-3 SEC)
Not only is Alabama one of the best teams in the country (Tide fans might argue the best, as it was their own foolish miscues that put the LSU game out of reach in OT) it has an axe to grind with its hated Iron Bowl rival.
Buckeyes (6-5, 3-4 Big Ten) vs. Wolverines (9-2, 5-2 Big Ten)
The game these two historical Big Ten powerhouses will circle on their calendars for eternity has been rather lopsided in recent history.
Bulldogs (9-2, 7-1 SEC) vs Yellow Jackets (8-3, 5-3 ACC)
This Peachtree State rivalry is yet another major end-of-season showdown this week. “Pure, Old-Fashioned Hate” sums up the relationship between these two teams quite well.
#3 Arkansas Razorbacks (10-1, 6-1 SEC) vs #1 LSU Tigers (11-0, 7-0 SEC)
If this game doesn’t have the exact same excitement and charged atmosphere that the earlier LSU-Alabama tilt had, it’ll be mighty close. This is an end of season SEC West clash that has oodles of conference title and National Title implications.
USC Trojans (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12) vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish (4-2)
Southern Cal had been dominating this match-up in recent seasons, until the Golden Domers exacted some revenge last season, pulling out a 20-16 victory.
Tennessee Volunteers (3-3, 0-3 SEC) vs. #2 Alabama Crimson Tide (7-0, 4-0 SEC)
In a cutthroat conference like the SEC, there just isn’t any room for “getting-there’s” and “nice try, buts…” The Tennessee Volunteers showed a lot of good things earlier in the regular season, but a combination of injuries and a lack of well-roundedness has the Vols staring down the barrel of an 0-4 conference start.
#20 Auburn Tigers (5-2, 3-1 SEC) vs. #1 LSU Tigers (6-0, 4-0 SEC)
In recent seasons, “The Battle of the Tigers” has been a can’t-miss for SEC fans and college football fans alike. Conventional wisdom would say that some of the pinch has been taken out of the match-up with the departure of all-world Auburn QB Cam Newton, but Auburn is notoriously testy in big games.
#9 Arkansas Razorbacks (5-1, 1-1 SEC) vs. Mississippi Rebels (2-4, 0-3 SEC)
As far as SEC West division match-ups go, this one seems to break pretty well for the visiting team. The home side Rebels haven’t looked good at all in 2011, poor play has been highlighted by no steadying presence under center and a slew of injuries and suspensions to important contributors.
Florida Gators (4-2, 2-2 SEC) vs. #24 Auburn Tigers (4-2, 2-1 SEC)
Both of these SEC strongholds have hit turbulence in recent weeks. The Florida Gators have lost consecutive games – badly to West division stalwarts Alabama and LSU. Auburn, meanwhile, is coming off a 38-14 spanking at the hands of Arkansas.
#2 Alabama Crimson Tide (6-0, 3-0 SEC) vs. Mississippi Rebels (2-3, 0-2 SEC)
The SEC West division is a two-horse race. If LSU has a manageable game this week in travelling to Tennessee to play the hobbled Volunteers, then the other top dog – the Alabama Crimson Tide – have an even easier task ahead of them in dispatching the Ole Miss Rebels.
#1 LSU Tigers (6-0, 3-0 SEC) vs. Tennessee Volunteers (3-2, 0-2 SEC)
Two standard SEC powers clash at Rocky Top this Saturday afternoon, though the going has been much better lately for the visitors than the home side.
#15 South Carolina Gamecocks (5-1, 3-1 SEC) vs Mississippi State Bulldogs (3-3, 0-3 SEC)
The never-ending saga of Gamecocks quarterback Stephen Garcia finally came to (what should be) a decisive halt this week, as he was dismissed from the team.
#15 Auburn Tigers (4-1, 2-0 SEC) vs. #10 Arkansas Razorbacks (4-1, 0-1 SEC)
Two strong SEC West division teams not named Alabama and LSU do battle on Saturday night in the foothills of the Ozarks. The visitor happens to be last year’s National Champion – an Auburn team that was invincible until an upstart Clemson program humbled them a couple weeks back.
Vanderbilt Commodores (3-1, 1-1 SEC) vs. #2 Alabama Crimson Tide (5-0, 2-0 SEC)
Alabama joins its bitter divisional rival LSU in adeptly clear-cutting through the SEC so far in 2011. By all conventional logic, the Vanderbilt Commodores should be the next tree to be felled. The Commodores have definitely exceeded expectations to so far; they are assumed by many to be a perennial SEC bottom-dweller.
