Pretty sure Miss State/Auburn is the 2:30 game. ESPN Gameday is going to be in Starkville this week. TAM/Ole Miss and Arkansas/Alabama are also on my must watch list. I’ll make my picks later in the week… ---

Appy State smashing Meechigan was a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. Maybe a twice-in-a-lifetime could happen. Let’s just hope for another crazy Saturday no matter who has to pay for it. At least the head-to-head games have no runaway favorites at this point. TCU beating Baylor will be the big one, it looks like.
