SEC / Big 12 (really 10) Challenge

[JonathanW]

It's big this year. The SEC in late December was said to have had the 2nd best record in P6 games. Yet we are still looking at the 4th or 5th most teams being projected in the tournament.
And "they" keep saying the B12 is "a guantlet" this year. And this is our last chance for the SEC as a whole to significantly help itself. The only other thing that may help is for the top (1/2) teams to stop losing to the bottom (1/2) teams, to have a clear divide.

13 Auburn at WV
2 Alabama at Oklahoma
12 Iowa St at Missouri
Texas Tech at LSU
11 TCU at Miss St
Arkansas at 17 Baylor
10 Texas at 4 Tennessee
Florida at 5 Kansas St
Ole Miss at Okl. St
9 Kansas at UK

B12 has 5, 9, 10, 11, 12, 17 ranked teams
SEC has 2, 4, 13 ranked teams

Can we go 5-5? Would love to go 6-4.
I would estimate our odds at winning as:
60% Auburn
90% Alabama
40% Missouri
55% LSU
25% Miss St
35% Arkansas
65% Tennessee
10% Florida (interesting with Johnson going against his old school)
40% Ole Miss
50% UK (trying to be unbiased)
If those are ballpark accurate, that would put us at 4.7 wins

If the teams were scheduled now based on ranking, you would have something like:
2 Alabama vs 5 Kansas St
4 Tennessee vs 9 Kansas
13 Auburn vs 10 Texas
Missouri vs 11 TCU
Kentucky vs 12 Iowa St
Arkansas vs 17 Baylor
Florida vs WV
Miss St vs Texas Tech
Ole Miss vs Oklahoma
LSU vs Okl St

Are you pulling for your conference?

I think the wildcards are UK, Missouri and Arkansas.
Honestly, I give Arkansas a good shot at winning, they appear to be surging.
Missouri is at home and are at full strength, I think they win that.
Lastly, I think UK beats KU. Yeah, we're going to get their best shot, but so did Baylor and TCU. It's not like KU didn’t want to win those games badly.
