This week we head to Cajun country as LSU welcomes Alabama to Tiger Stadium. LSU and Alabama both are coming in with one conference lost a piece and the winner of this game could go on and play in a BCS bowl game/still have a chance to make it to Atlanta. The key match up in this game is LSU's defensive line against Alabama's offensive line. LSU defensive line's heaviest player checks in at 285 while Alabama's offensive line least heaviest player is 289. Its easy to see Alabama has the beef on the line but LSU's defensive line is a quick group and that is what they will be hoping gets them past Alabama's line. Another question is will Alabama's stand out freshman D.J. Fluker be able to play. If he is that gives Alabama a huge advantage. Another key for LSU is can Jordan Jefferson be able to throw the ball against the secondary of Alabama. Alabama's secondary is scary considering most of these guys are freshman and sophomores. Look for Jefferson go to Wide-out Randle on key downs. If Alabama can run the football like they were able to do the first month of the season then they should win the game.
Prediciton- Alabama home away from home is LSU's Tiger Stadium. Alabama is 16-3-1 since 1970 against LSU in Tiger Stadium so they will not be scared. Alabama is able to get the running game back on track...Alabama 21 LSU 18
Other Games:
South Carolina vs Arkansas- A must win for the Gamecocks if they want to win the East, Arkansas doesnt have Greg Childs, thats the difference...South Carolina 35 Arkansas 28
Florida vs Vanderbilt- Is Florida looking ahead to South Carolina? Doesnt matter...Florida 42 Vanderbilt 21
Auburn vs Chattanooga- If Auburn started their 5th string they would still win by 21....Auburn 56 Mocs 0

This week we go to the Tar Heels and Seminoles game. Florida State lost last Thursday to NC State and looks to get back on track but North Carolina is only one win away from playing in a bowl game. Christian Ponder needs to go back to his old self if the Seminoles want a good chance to win. North Carolina needs to score points and T.J. Yates needs to have a flawless game against the tough Seminole defense for that to happen.
Prediction- Florida State has way too much offensive power against a depleted North Carolina defense...Florida State 42 North Carolina 21

South Alabama vs Henderson State- South is finished with the hardest part of their schedule and not welcomes an opponent they should handle pretty easily...South 56 Henderson State 7

Arizona vs Stanford- Quarterback plays a major role in this one as both teams have great quarterbacks but Luck is on Stanford's side...Stanford 35 Arizona 31
