SEC Picks for Week Two

• Auburn @ Miss St. - When I looked at this game, I had to admit that I don’t see these two teams as very different in make up or talent.  That left me banking on the fans and their cowbells to throw off the Tigers. Miss St. 21-17
• ECU @ South Carolina - I’m not sold on this group of Gamecocks.  Even before the injury, the passing attack for South Carolina was looking pretty blah against the Commodores.  Now that Connor Shaw is battling a deep tissue bruise in his shoulder (while still being expected to run regularly), I’m questioning the ability of this team to win from behind.  I shouldn’t be picking this one, but I’m going with an upset here.  ECU 14-13
• Florida @ Texas A&M - Florida looked…bad.  Just really mediocre.  Texas A&M on the other hand hasn’t played.  This leaves me with a game that I’m picking based on my perception of the Aggies and what I saw from Florida against Bowling Green.  Florida can’t win in the SEC playing like they did last week.  Texas A&M 34-21
• WKU @ Alabama - No comment needed.  Bama 49-7
• Georgia St. @ Tennessee - http://youtu.be/LGEnE18DE1M Tenn 52-0
• UTEP @ Ole Miss - There are a lot of games requiring no comments.  UTEP 21-20
• Washington @ LSU - Washington is much better than the score might indicate from last week.  They certainly didn’t unleash the full offensive and defensive potential.  Neither did LSU.  This game will surprise some people, but at the end of the day, the SEC is still king.  LSU 28-24
• Arkansas @ UL-Monroe - Arkansas’s defense doesn’t look good, but it’s good enough for this.  Arky 45-28
• Kent St. @ Kentucky - Look, and opponent Kentucky can actually beat! UK 24-14
• Georgia @ Missouri - Take this for what it is, but I’m not convinced that Georgia won’t come out flat against the Tigers.  The secondary isn’t 100% due to suspensions, and this is an offense that can take advantage of a weak secondary.  If Georgia falls behind, I doubt they can come back.  Mizzou 35-32
• Vanderbilt @ Northwestern - This game might be a lot of fun…for a little while.  Vanderbilt isn’t a bad team, and I will pick them to beat any non-conference foe on their schedule, including this one.  Vandy 28-17
