Summary: Bama visits Vols; Gators host Auburn
Date: 13 Oct 92 19:45:03 GMT
Organization: Ramblin' Wrecks from Georgia Tech

ALABAMA (6-0) visits TENNESSEE (5-1):  The 3rd Saturday in October
                                       lost a bit of luster last
week when the Vols were upset by Arkansas.  However, it is still
Bama-Tennessee and both teams are still in 1st place in their
respective divisions.  The Tide has dominated this one recently,
and I think their defense will be too much for a Volunteer attack
which struggled against Arkansas: Alabama 17-10.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: Tennessee 23-16
Series record: Alabama leads 40-27-7
Last meeting: Alabama won 24-19 (1991)
TV: ABC, 3:30 PM ET

ARKANSAS (2-4) hosts OLE MISS (3-2) in Little Rock:  The Razorbacks scored
                                                     a major upset last 
week at Tennessee, while the Rebels took the week off to prepare for this
one.  The Hogs are 0-3 at home and Ole Miss is 0-2 on the road, so 
something has to give.  The Rebs seem to get up for this one more than
the Arkies, so I'll guess a minor upset: Ole Miss 14-13.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: Ole Miss 20-10
Series record: Arkansas leads 19-18-1
Last meeting: Ole Miss won 24-17 (1991)
TV: JPT, 12:30 PM ET

AUBURN (4-2) visits FLORIDA (2-2):  The Tigers are so far a mistake-prone
                                    team, and the Gators are no stranger
to self-destruction themselves.  Still UF is unbeaten at home under 
Spurrier, and though that string may not last forever, it will take
a better team than the Tigers to break it: Florida 20-10.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: Florida 31-21
Series record: Auburn leads 37-29-2
Last meeting: Florida won 31-10 (1991)
TV: ABC, 12:00 noon ET

GEORGIA (5-1) hosts VANDERBILT (2-3):  The 'Dores started out the season
                                       looking pretty decent, but they
are reeling now after dropping their last 2 games by a total of 71-15.
A visit between the hedges with the high-powered Georgia offense is
*not* what the doctor ordered for Gerry DiNardo's club: Georgia 38-10.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: Georgia 30-14.
Series record: Georgia leads 34-16-2
Last meeting: Vanderbilt won 27-25 (1991)

KENTUCKY (3-2) visits LSU (1-5):  It will be a cat fight in Tiger Stadium
                                  Saturday night as two struggling teams
look to rebound.  If the Bayou Bengals expect to win this one by just
showing up tey may be in for a surprise - Kentucky is an improved team
from a year ago.  Still, they have their problems on the road and it's
unlikely LSU is overlooking anyone at this point: LSU 20-16.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: LSU 35-13.
Series record: LSU leads 31-10-1
Last meeting: LSU won 29-26 (1991)

MISSISSIPPI STATE (4-1) visits SOUTH CAROLINA (0-5):  The Bulldogs got
                                                      through the brutal
opening stretch of 5 tough games with an impressive 4-1 tally.  They
get a bit of a break this week against what appears to be the worst
team in the league, although at Williams-Brice Stadium, which can
be a difficult atmosphere.  I see no letdown from the Bulldogs, who
still feel they are lacking the respect they deserve: Miss. State 31-6.
J.J. Clyde's Pick: 27-8.
First Meeting

I was 4-2 picking the winners last week, bringing my season total
to 36-7.  J.J. Clyde was 3-3 for a season total of 12-7.
