SEC Slate 2/6/2016 - Discussion

[KA4Prez]

South Carolina (19-3, 6-3) at Texas A&M (18-4, 7-2) - First place up in the air in College Station and both teams come off weekday losses. An A&M would go a long way in their ride to the league's top seed, a loss, really lumps everyone together.

Florida (15-7, 6-3) at Kentucky (16-6, 6-3) - Other than Ole Miss, Florida has been terrible on the road. They have won 5 of 6 in the SEC, but also lost to Tennessee by 14. UK hasn't lost in Rupp for almost 2 years and the Cats need this one given they play Carolina and A&M on the road the next two weekends.

Vanderbilt (13-9, 5-4) at Mississippi (14-8, 4-5) - This is the SEC bubble game of this weekend with both teams desperate for wins. Vandy has back to back wins over Florida and A&M while Ole Miss has been taking on water losing 5 of 7 with wins only over Auburn and Missouri. Neither can afford a loss.

Tennessee (11-11, 4-5) at Arkansas (11-11, 4-5) - While neither of these teams is in the hunt for an NCAA bid, both have shown flashes of being very difficult games. Arkansas probably wins at BWA, but it could be an entertaining game to watch regardless of records.

Mississippi State (9-12, 2-7) at LSU (14-8, 7-2) - This is a tune up game for LSU at they play at Carolina and vs A&M next week. They should win handily but the more important focus will be to gain momentum to continue to build their NCAA resume.

Auburn (9-12, 3-6) at Georgia (12-8, 5-4) - Georgia got a big win on Tuesday against South Carolina, and they have some opportunities to get more good wins against Kentucky, Florida and Vanderbilt. Should be an easy win.

Alabama (12-9, 3-6) at Missouri (8-14, 1-8) - Easily the worst game of the weekend with a hapless Missouri team who has lost 7 straight. Alabama has a very, very outside shot at an NCAA bid because they have 5 top 50 wins...but their next 3 after this are A&M, Florida and LSU.

Good summary and thanks for posting.

Huge games with Carl's Jr at aTm, VU at Ole Miss and UF at UK. The SEC is heating up and still actually has a shot at 6 NCAA bids

A&M
Carl's Jr
UK
LSU
UF
Vandy

As of today, I believe all six are in thanks to UofL and SMU especially.

aTm at home probably wins this one,but SC is better than some thought so it could be close

UF at UK,nothing would surprise me,as I have posted before I have no expectations for a win or a loss for this team,I just tune in and see what happens,anything is possible.

Vandy better be ready in this one,they should win but it is a game they could drop I think Ole Miss springs a trap and Vandy is a bit flat after their big win last game

Ark beats UT Knigsley is the difference

LSU screws around and wins this one but they(LSU) manage to keep it closer than it should be.

UGA beats a bad Auburn team(how did we lose to those dipsticks)

Alabama may find a way to lose to Mizzou but it will be tough,since Mizzou is in the same boat as UL they may not care much.

We've been pretty bad on the road. Hoping we can keep it close and find a way at the end.

Huge win for South Carolina. Puts them right back in the conference race.
Kentucky keeps pace with a dominant win over Florida.
LSU now solely on top of the conference with their win over MSU.
Vanderbilt blows a huge opportunity losing to Ole Miss, who gets a huge win.
Arkansas, really tough at home, as always.
Alabama might be sneaking back into the NCAA discussion.
Georgia takes care of Auburn.

Wouldn't be fun for it all to come down to UK LSU on the last day of the season?

Weird, LSU could need that win to win the conference AND to get off the bubble.
