SEC Football Weekly Rundown: Georgia-Alabama Blackout Highlights Week Five

(Page 2 of 10)

Carolina was predicted to win 38-10. However, the less than woeful Spurrier-led team beat the Terriers by a mere 10 points, 23-13.

Vandy vs. Ole Miss

This was perhaps the closest picked game of the day, along with the Tiger Bowl. Both teams were riding fairly high, particularly the Commodores. I assumed they would continue that flight, and thus they did.

Predicting them to win by one point over Houston Nutt’s squad, 24-23, seemed like a safe bet. So it was, as the actual score was 23-17 in Vandy’s favor.

Florida vs. Tennessee

If ever Fulmer needed a win, it was at home Saturday afternoon over a top five-ranked Florida Gators squad. But after Urban and boys took full advantage of a sloppy offensive performance from the Vols, noise of “FIRE FULMER!” went echoing through the night.

I had the Gators picked to be the victors 31-24. Oh, how my heart leaped with joy as I read the score scroll across 30-6 in favor of Florida.

Bama vs. Arkansas

For all of those fans out there who doubted the Tide, or who picked a Hog upset, I hope you stay in for a week to catch your breath. The humiliation that was witnessed from the stadium formerly known as “The Nutt House” is the reason why, BabyTate, everyone was throwing Petrino and his Arkansas team under the bus.
