Larry's Losers in The SEC Week Eleven

No, Tebow didn't lose—the Gators won this week—but this is just a photo I picture in my mind when I'm thinking about the upcoming SEC Championship game.

Well back from a week at the beautiful Wyndam Resort and Spa I'm rested and ready to extend by perfect prognostication. Yes, last week without the aid of the Smart Pill Machine, (it don't travel well) and the advice of my trusted companion Baccardi , (sorry no dogs allowed, even smart ones), I posted this season's first perfect total.

That brings the record up to 60-13 and a lofty 79 percent success rate. I'm almost up to a solid B and am looking for this week to help me even more.

So, while I'm still enthused and hot, let's jump right into this week's predictions.

Alabama at Mississippi State

Dan Mullen's Pooch Posse has been rebuilding faster than expected and they have given some pretty good teams some pretty good fights. This week the Bulldogs hope to catch Alabama still up on cloud nine from the big LSU win and yank the white puffies from right underneath their feet.

Nick Saban and the clan in Crimson know better than to overlook this dog pound as recent history will attest, so they'll be on guard on tackle and on center and everywhere else they can go to run and throw for yardage that the dogs are sure to make costly.

The enthusiastic elephants though will find a way to win once again and soon they may start roses left over from the parade.

Larry's loser: Mississippi State

Troy at Arkansas

They Trojans will march into the stadium with lofty goals of catching this rising SEC team overlooking the Troy troop, but they'll soon learn that a good razorback always is on guard. Since some early season stumbles, these pigs are almost proving that pigs can fly.

It'll be a long trip home for the Trojans.

Larry's loser is Troy.

Auburn at Georgia

These are two teams seeming headed in different directions. While Auburn sometimes shows glimpses of a team on the rise, the Georgia mutts look like a team with the mange and it's only getting worse.

Mark Richt is hoping that his boys can turn down the heat on his hot seat and come away with a win that would help quiet the rumors on lookin' for a new kennel master. To do this, Richt better hope that Cox don't come up limp again and the defense can likewise stiffen.

Gene Chizikalso needs a win and his tigers are as up and down as a team of kangaroos, so this could be a toughie to pick, but even Baccardi has turned his back on these dogs so without any encouragement from him.

Larry's loser will be Georgia.

Florida at South Carolina

The Old Ball Coach welcomes his old ball team to the lovely South Carolina campus this weekend, but he ain't plannin' no hugs and long walks at sunset. South Carolina needs a win to stay in the bowl hunt and hopes to catch Florida overlooking them.

Urban Meyer may be a little lighter in the wallet this week following his $30,000 fine from the SEC for whining about the refs, he considers that chump change with his salary and he considers the Gamecocks as just another chicken dinner.

I've actually heard some respected colleagues calling for this to be the sleeper upset of the week. Just have the Cock offensive players were face shields to protect themselves from "Stooges" Spikes and have the white flag handy.

Larry's losers: South Carolina

Kentucky at Vanderbilt

The comedy Commodores take a bus this week to Kentucky since Florida sank what was left of their boat last week. It sits at the bottom of the swamp and some Gators are still picking little pieces of Commodores from their teeth.

At 5-4 right now, the Wildcats know if they want to make that third bowl game in a row, they better get this win because right now Tennessee and Georgia aren't looking like sure wins anymore.

This win gets them in the bowl picture and Rich Brooks could go out on top. Well on top as far as Kentucky football folklore goes.

Larry's loser: Vanderbilt

Louisiana Tech at LSU

Last week, Les Miles most worked men were the medical staff attending to all the busted up Bengals and Louisiana is hoping to still catch them smarting enough to pull off the upset.

With some of their players out for this game and others still nursing wounds, that could be a possibility, but about as slim a chance Jennifer Anniston having my love child. Les Miles has more than enough Tiger talent to handle these second rate bulldogs.

So Tech better not count on any brotherly love from their fellow Cajuns.

Larry's loser: Louisianna Tech

Tennessee at Ole Miss

This is the game I spent two hours calibrating the Smart Pill machine for. One is a team that's supposed to be good and one is a team that's supposed to be bad, but lately they've been swappin' those roles back and forth.

On one hand, loses to Auburn and South Carolina have shaken my faith in the Rebels and Tennessee's wins over South Carolina and Georgia, not to mention their close games against Florida and Alabama have almost made a believer out of me.

I expect both the Rebels and the mountain men to exchange a lot of musket fire in this one, and when all the white smoke clears, I'm pickin' the upset of the last man standing to be wearing orange.

Larry's loser: Ole Miss

So there they are folks. Except for Arkansas and LSU, everybody's doing some home cooking this weekend and the race for the bowl games are heating up.

I'm going to enjoy a few more days in guessing glory before the outcome of this weeks picks, so Baccardi , fetch my slippers and let's find that bottle of 20-year-old rum and toast to our success!
