While it may sometimes be overshadowed by the rivalry games in Alabama and Florida, the battle for South Carolina is always one of the weekend’s more lively affairs. This weekend the South Carolina Gamecocks and Clemson Tigers will meet with each side ranked in the top 10.
The top-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide will make the trip out to Jordan-Hare Stadium on Sunday to take on the fourth-ranked Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl.
Not a lot of juice for this traditional season ending game for these programs. The lofty hopes of LSU were dashed many weeks ago even though they are looking very good after beating up Texas A&M last week.
Only No.12 Texas A&M and 2013 Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Manziel stand in the way of No. 8 Missouri and the SEC Championship game in just their second year in the conference.
The 24th-ranked Ole Miss Rebels have been on a hot streak, winning four games in a row following a three-game losing streak, but the team now runs into a buzzsaw in the form of the eighth-ranked Missouri Tigers, who have been one of the more pleasant surprises in college football this season, and will be getting their starting quarterback back from injury.
The 22nd-ranked LSU Tigers will look to get back above .500 in the SEC and make a positive mark on an otherwise disappointing season on Saturday when they host the 12th-ranked Texas A&M Aggies, who will be looking to make some BCS noise with a win of their own.
The 21st-ranked Louisville Cardinals look to continue their quest for retribution after their loss to Central Florida when they host the Memphis Tigers in a showdown matchup in The American.
The seventh-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys will take on the 11th-ranked Memphis Tigers in an early season showdown at the Gallagher-Iba Arena on Tuesday.
The No. 9 Auburn Tigers have been one of the biggest surprises in college football this season, and will put it all on the line for a shot at the Southeastern Conference championship game when they host Georgia on Saturday.
You may not have noticed but the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets are currently leading the ACC Coastal division. I am guessing that they would lose a tiebreaker with Virginia Tech because they lost to the Hokies earlier in the season which means they have no room for error in this game against a Clemson, the team everyone has forgotten.
The Auburn Tigers will look to keep pace in the SEC with the Alabama Crimson Tide, but they’ve got a tricky game this Saturday versus the Tennessee Volunteers.
Missouri may have stumbled once this season but they can still have a fantastic year if they can close out strong.
The 2013 edition of this matchup isn’t being hyped as “The Game of the Century,” but anytime the LSU Tigers and Alabama Crimson Tide take the field, you know you’re in for a battle.
The eight-ranked Clemson Tigers look to keep the redemption train rolling when they roll into Charlottesville to take on the Virginia Cavaliers.
Its is still kind of hard to believe the season that Auburn is having, I don’t recall anyone predicting they would be a sleeper in the SEC. They beat Texas A&M on the road and their only loss this year is to LSU, also on the road.
Mizzou lost a tough one last week to South Carolina, in overtimes, and saw their chances for that truly fantastic season kind of disappear. However, they still have a chance for a much better than anyone expected season if they can recover quickly and take care of business.
