if both Georgia's RBs are out I like to think Mizzou can at least hang around a bit

[UMFan83]

Why isn't Penn State ranked? Aren't they 5-0?

[Derwood]

I'm hoping for 5 wins total at this point.

Don't know about Gurley's status but yikes:

 

@slmandel: Mark Richt: Georgia WR Justin Scott Wesley and RB Keith Marshall both out for the season.

 

Don't [expletive] with Tennessee. They ended Marcus Lattimore's season last year.

[rawaction]

Gurley wasn't seriously hurt. He should play this week. He probably would have yesterday had it been a big game.

Which nearly cost them.

im gonna guess that a top-7 team that still has national title chances views every game as a "big game."

[Guest]

Yeah, if it were a "break glass in case of emergency" thing with Gurley, they probably would have dressed him, and they probably would have played him after the game went down to the wire/OT after Marshall tore his ACL in the 1st quarter. I do expect him to play this week though, and the 3rd string back was successful enough that I didn't have hopes of Georgia's rushing game disappearing in any case.

 

From Mizzou's end, I hope they can keep the offense running efficiently enough to keep the game close enough to make an upset possible if some turnover/special teams weirdness happens. All the injuries don't hurt either. Will be nice to have a "nothing to lose" game that actually has the team healthy for once.

Not looking forward to this weekend.

[Old Style]

Wish Ole Miss wouldn't have laid a turd at Auburn.

[Formerly Snayke]

Georgia's defense is fairly vulnerable, but I think they win by 17.

[NOLA]

I knew Lane Kiffin was a douche but I had no idea he was that bad. I almost feel bad for Tennessee. Almost.

But everything wasn't bad at Tennessee. For instance, there was Lane's dad, Monte, the team's defensive coordinator. "Monte was loved by everyone," says McNeil. "He was a great guy, a great football coach, but a better guy."

McNeil pauses for a moment, thinks.

"He and Lane had absolutely nothing in common."

[Guest]

Richt just said Gurley is doubtful against Mizzou.

Wisconsin is a 10.5 point home dog this weekend against Northwestern, and that seems a bit excessive to me. I'm figuring this is going to be a closer game than that.

 

I've got end-zone seats for this one. Going to be fun. I'm slightly torn -- root for both of them.

Wisconsin isn't a 10.5 dog, they are favored

[OleMissCub]

Looking forward to seeing Manziel in person again this weekend.

 

There will probably be 90 total points scored in this game. A&M's defense sucks balls but they just outscore people.

Right! My bad! Seems like too large a spread to me.

Alabama's defense has given up a total of 7 TD's through 5 games so far this season. 6 of those were to A&M. That is crazy.

[SouthSideRyan]

Yeah, pretty heroic of them to keep Colorado State and Georgia State out of the end zone.

How convenient of you to leave off Ole Miss & Virginia Tech.

Late test against Chatanooga will show who Bama really is

[snoodmonger]

We will not score against TCU's first or second team defense. Final score prediction: 45-7.

Apparently you didn't get the memo about trashing the SEC no matter what.
