Key Games in Week Four:
Georgia at Arizona State
After a tough match up on the road against South Carolina, the Bulldogs will travel across the country to face the Sun Devils in a big non-conference showdown.
Georgia will be thoroughly tested in this match up being their second game in a row on the road, and not close to home. This is a rare trip for the Bulldogs outside the southeast and it won't be an easy one. Look for the Dawgs to try and pound Knowshon Moreno and get him going early on the road and then look for Stafford to take his shots deep when he has the chance.
Arizona State on the other hand will be looking for the first big upset of the season in knocking off the favored Bulldogs. The key for the Sun Devils will be keeping Georgia's pass rush away from Rudy Carpenter. Arizona State was not good at this last year, so they must be improved to handle the pressure Georgia will apply.
This could very well be a shootout, much like the LSU-Arizona State game a few years back. Georgia's defense could be the difference as both offenses are equipped to score some points.
Winner: Georgia
Florida at Tennessee
The annual rivalry takes place in Knoxville this year with the Vols looking to avenge a serious beatdown at the hands of the Gators in '07.
The key for Florida will be getting going early on offense and not letting the crowd off 100,000 plus get to into it. There's no doubt the Vols should bring pressure against Tebow to try and mess with the Gators rhythm, unlike last year when the Gators ripped the Vols for 55 points.
Tennessee though will try and test that Florida defense on the ground with Arian Foster and that experienced offensive line. They won't try and make new quarterback Jonathan Crompton do too much if they don't have to.
This looks to be another great rivalry between these two teams and will have a huge impact on the SEC East race and the national title picture should Florida go down in Knoxville.
Winner: Florida
LSU at Auburn
