Week Nine finds a three-team tie in the SEC East, where five of the six teams have two losses.
LSU and Alabama are tied atop the West, and are scheduled for a showdown in two weeks.
This Saturday, we have teams looking to rebound from upsets and heartbreaking losses—and “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” in Jacksonville.
Florida at Georgia (neutral site - Jacksonville, FL)
This is one of the best rivalry games every year.
Both teams are in a three-way tie with South Carolina atop the SEC East and are looking to take over first place.
Florida is coming off an "upset" win at Kentucky and is led by Heisman hopeful Tim Tebow at QB.
Tebow is the Gators’ leading passer and rusher, and will be key to Florida’s success.
Georgia was idle last week. The Bulldogs have been inconsistent this year, losing to South Carolina early before rebounding to win their next three games—including a win over Alabama.
The Bulldogs were soundly beaten by Tennessee and barely escaped with a win over Vanderbilt.
This game will be close to start, but the Gators will pull away. Florida keeps rolling, as they look like the best pick to reach Atlanta from the Eastern Division.
Prediction: Florida 32, Georgia 12

South Carolina 19 and Tennessee 17? You should retire from this position and find other work. That is the most insane pick I have seen all season, which includes picks of Notre Dame when they clearly sucked.
Tennessee will break 30 and threaten 40 while South Carolina will struggle to find 20.

no one has put 40 on the USC defense this year, not even LSU or Kentucky, so I doubt Tennessee will be able to. And I really doubt that's the most insane pick you've seen all season.
and work?...I don't know about the rest of the writers and Bleacher Report, but I'm not getting paid to do this. I write because I enjoy it...no money has come my way for writing articles.
as for the Notre Dame pick...yep I did pick them to beat Sothern Cal, but I was wrong and admitted it...however I did pick Rutgers over USF and Michigan over Illinois. Some of the bonus picks are more wishful thinking and upset oriented than anything to use for betting in Vegas.
But thanks for taking the time to read the article and for commenting.

After what the Vols did last week, I am not sure they could put up 40 on the Helen Keller School right about now...

It's just that they're very inconsistent on offense this year...one week it's 35 on Georgia...and the next it's only 17 on Alabama. Very inconsistent. That's one thing the Gamecocks don't have right now. They are very consistent on offense...only consistnely horrible for the last 3 games.

Jody,
I think Tennessee is gonna win the game, my knock was the anon poster for assuming Tennessee will automatically score 30 because of the inconsistency you mentioned.

Also, under David Cutcliffe, the Vols offense's magic number is...drumroll please...30 points. UT is 56-3 when scoring 30 points under Cutcliffe in his two seperate stints being the Vol's O.C.
