College Football Week 12, in which Les Miles reads Houston Nutt's will

Tennessee is already 0-6 in SEC play this season.

 

If UK can't beat Tennessee this year I'm not sure they ever will.

 

Then maybe it's they've never lost 7. Don't remember ...

 

Arkansas beating LSU is a reasonable possibility. Auburn would need a miracle to beat Alabama. They are not a good football team. They lost by 38 to Georgia, 35 to LSU, 24 to Arkansas and by two touchdowns to Clemson. They did manage to beat South Carolina, but we know USC's limitations, particularly on offense.

Auburn is benefiting from this being a down year in the SEC below the top 4 teams (LSU, Alabama, Arkansas and Georgia). Plus, Auburn picked a good year to get Utah State, Florida Atlantic and Samford on the same schedule. That's called knowing you aren't going to be great, so get three wins so you can be halfway to being bowl eligible.

They'll be 7-5 with those three games representing almost half their wins.

They'll get beat by three touchdowns, at least, by Alabama.

 

Don't you mean "they'll get beat by seven field goals, at least, by Alabama"?

 

For Alabama, seven field goal attempts = 6-9 points. So it would be close.

But Auburn ain't LSU. Richardson will push it over the goalline. Hell, Lacy will push it over the goalline.

 

There will be touchdowns.

 

Alabama touchdowns.

 

Seems like an appropriate place to post this gem that has been making the social media rounds:

 

You won't like Nick Saban when he's angry. I expect one of the biggest Iron Bowl blowouts in years. It'll be similar to 2008's 36-0 rout.

 

I dunno. The last two times Alabama went into Auburn with an appreciably better team — 1999 and 2009 — those games were death matches.

The only time Alabama has blown Auburn out down there was in 2001, and that was when Cadillac Williams broke his collarbone on the third play of the game.

 

Most of the misses against LSU would have gone between the third and fourth goalpost.
