Week Three has come and gone, and what a weekend we had in college football. There were some great games around the SEC.

As for my picks, I went unscathed for the first time this season, picking all nine games correctly. That brings my season record to 25-2.

Week Three Recap

Alabama rolled over the Mean Green with very few problems. I predicted a 48-6 victory for the Tide, but they managed to win by a few more points, 53-7.

Georgia and Arkansas found themselves in a shootout. In the end UGA reigned victorious by the final of 52-41; I had them winning 30-28 over the Hogs.

The rains they kept a-comin’, and so did the success for Auburn. They rattled West Virginia and took the game away in the fourth by the final of 41-30. I had them winning 27-20.

Kentucky won the battle in the “Bluegrass State” by the final of 31-27. What a game this was—a back-and-forth battle to the end. I predicted UK to win 30-20.

LSU had no trouble at all with Louisiana-Lafayette, winning 31-3. I had them winning 40-10.

Ole Miss played as expected against SE Louisiana. I had them winning 54-7, when in fact they won by the final of 52-6.

Mississippi State handled Vanderbilt by the final of 15-3. I predicted a close game with the Bulldogs winning 21-20.

The Gamecocks of South Carolina beat out the Owls of Florida Atlantic by the final of 38-16. I picked USC to win 39-6.

In the Game of the Week I had Florida thrashing Tennessee by a score of 45-10. The spread was high, but the score was not, as Tennessee is getting much love after falling to Florida by a mere 10 points. Florida wins 23-13, but UT steals the spotlight.

Week Three Summary

My closest pick of the week was the Ole Miss game. I predicted a 54-7 victory for the Rebels, and they almost hit that score on the head, winning 52-6. I got the Florida win, but much like those deciding the spread, I was fooled in this one. Tennessee held the lethal Gators to only 23 points.
