Hard to believe we're already 3 weeks into the season. At least that means that we're starting to get some decent rivalry games going.
Top of everyone's SEC viewing chart for this weekend will of course be the Tebow/ Tennessee game. The Vols' lackluster performance against UCLA last week did not exactly garner much hope that the Kiffin Era's first big win would come against the Gators. The offense gave Western Kentucky a thrashing, but the sloppy play against UCLA puts more expectations on the Vols' defense, which held firm and could potentially cause Tebow some problems in the air, but I doubt he'll have much difficulty slicing his way through them [Insert circumcision joke here]. This is the first game of a solid block of all 7 intra-SEC games for Florida.
With the way Georgia has been playing lately, the Razorbacks could give them a good game as the Bulldogs travel to Fayetteville. Should be a quality conference matchup that I'll be interested to watch, provided it's broadcasted.
On that note, The Alabama / North Texas game is being broadcast on the SEC Network, a regional red-headed stepchild of ESPN. I'm not expecting much from this game other than hoping to see some good improvement from McElroy.
The best of the worst matchup between Vandy and Miss. State should be either fun or awful to watch all depending on your viewpoint and standing in Congress.
As a resident of Louisville, I'm surprised to see little to no hype regarding this week's grudge match of UK/UL, but then again it's not basketball season and UK just came off a stunning bye week after their exhausting opener against Miami of Ohio. I think there's a tractor pull this weekend anyway.
Auburn / West Virginia is the other game to watch out for to see if Auburn is bouncing back and how bad WVU has gotten. I'm predicing at least 4 gang-related TV Timeouts.
That's about it for the SEC this week. Enjoy your weekend.
