Nov. 14

ALABAMA (9-0) visits MISSISSIPPI STATE (7-2):
This is for all the marbles in the SEC West (provided Bama stumbles with
the War Eagles), and MSU is coming off its second worst offensive
performance of the season -- the worst being in week 2 at Baton Rouge.
State has indeed taken themselves out of the driver's seat with losses
against both SEC cellar-dwellers.  The real impact of this game is on what
the bowl committees (Sugar most likely not included) will see in the 
Dawgs.  Alabama 23-9.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Alabama 16-10
Last meeting: Alabama won 13-7 (1991)
Series record: Alabama leads 62-11-3

ARKANSAS (2-6-1) is idle.

AUBURN (5-3-1) hosts GEORGIA (7-2):
The burden is on Auburn this week.  In addition to being a must win for 
the Tigers' bowl hopes, the hot seat keeps getting hotter for coach Pat Dye.  
Throw Garrison Hearst into the mix with a less-than-stellar Auburn defense 
and the Plainsmen could be looking at 5-4-1 with Bama on deck.  Georgia 28-20.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Georgia 24-21
Last meeting: Georgia won 37-27 (1991)
Series record: Auburn leads 45-43-7

FLORIDA (6-2) hosts SOUTH CAROLINA (4-5):
Well, USC continues to roll after the "Mutiny in Columbia."  If the
Cocks were hosting this one, it'd be a tough one to pick.  Reality check 
for Taneyhill & Co.  Florida 31-21.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Florida 28-14
Last meeting: (1964)
Series record: Florida leads 6-3-3

KENTUCKY (4-5) visits Cincinnati(2-7):
UK looked to be making good strides until they were stymied on their
home turf by the Commodores.  Meanwhile, the Bearcats are coming off
their biggest (and second) win of the season.  They lead most of the way
against the DORKS (Rutgers) before pulling it out late, 26-24.
UPSET SPECIAL...  Cincy 26-16.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Kentucky 21-17
Last meeting: Kentucky won 20-17 (1991)
Series record: Kentucky leads 21-7-3

LSU (1-8) is idle.

OLE MISS (6-3) hosts Louisiana Tech (5-4):
Ole Miss has legitimate bowl hopes now, but should not be overlooking LA
Tech.  Its been a tough row to hoe this year in the SEC for Tech.  While
the Bulldog defense has held USC and Bama to a collective 6 points, they
have an 0-2 SEC mark to show for it.  Tech 14-6.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Ole Miss 17-13
Last meeting: Ole Miss won 14-8 (1984)
Series record: Ole Miss leads 6-1

TENNESSEE (5-3) visits Memphis State (5-4):
Midnight finally struck against Memphis State's Cinderalla comeback
season last week in Oxford.  Look for the Volunteers to continue playing 
the evil stepsister.  Coming off a bye, UT will be desperately seeking
attention from the bowl committees at the expense of an impressive
Tiger defense.  Tennessee 28-13.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Memphis State 24-17
Last meeting: Tennessee won 38-25 (1988)
Series record: Tennessee leads 12-0

VANDERBILT (3-5) visits Navy (1-7):
Leave it to TooLame to give the Midshipmen their first win of the
season.  Vandy's Jeckyl and Hyde performances this season should make this 
an interesting road trip.  Perhaps not a great game, mind you, just an
interesting matchup.  Vandy 23-10.
Mark Mitchell's pick: Navy 28-20
Last meeting: Tied 35-35 (1967)
Series record: Navy leads 1-0-2



I was 3-3 picking the winners last week, bringing my season total
to 25-16-1.  Mark Mitchell was 5-1 for a despicable season total of 51-14-1.
