Vols vs. Gaytah
Playing in Gainesville and the reptiles are undefeated, while UT has looked like road kill in 2 of their first 3. Flipee Franks is gone for the season so UF goes with a back up. Most fans I've heard think that's a good thing because they haven't been very good offensively anyway. No way the Vols can be as abysmal as they were the first two weeks. I've even thought about this one as the upset special, but I can't quite go there since it's in Gainesville.

Notre Dame vs. FUGA
I don't think I've ever pulled for ND in any game. Maybe the MNC against Bama, but that game was over when they walked past the Tide in the tunnel on the way to the field. I'm quite certain I heard several, "Oh shit" (s) Tomorrow, I'll be Snaggy O'Conor all day. From what I've seen of the Irish, they look talented and have a pretty decent QB taking snaps in Ian Book. More than likely, they are their usual overrated self. Maybe it's because my memory is failing me in my golden years, but I can't recall the last time ND went on the road and won a big game. Anyone? Bueller? As for FUGA....Fuck Georgia! However:

AU vs. A&M
This is a big one, peeps. This probably sets the tone for the rest of the season, actually for both teams. A&M was handled easily by Clemson, but I was on the road and didn't see one play of it. Conventional wisdom says getting handled at Clemson these days is to be expected and Vegas definitely thought so with the huge line they set on that game. A&M is down to their 3rd string RB, which is a good thing for us since as Wes pointed out, Trayveon Williams went Fred Talley on us last year. Good thing he's gone and the next two up are on the sidelines.
For Auburn, this game means 10-2 or 6-6, IMO. This is a winnable game on the road. In fact, the road team usually wins in this series. I listened to some of Malzahn's radio show last night and the only thing I got outside of the endless coach speak droning, was that Nix needs to get on the edge more, like he did on several keepers last week. Otherwise, we're Titty Whit between the tackles 25 times and that ain't gonna' cut it against this bunch. Not that he said it, but I do think we'll see some plays tomorrow that make us realize Gus really has been playing vanilla because he's too paranoid to show his hand. Anyway, we've always played well in College Station and I think Bo Nix and our D get it done tomorrow.
