#25 Georgia (6-3) vs #7 Auburn (The Deep South's Oldest Rivalry) (3:30 PM EST, CBS)

[TrueOrange]

Big game between ranked SEC teams with East and West implications.


An Auburn victory keeps the Tigers on a course towards Alabama and the Iron Bowl, where victory would decide who wins the SEC West and represents in the championship game.



On the other hand, a Georgia victory over Auburn not only keeps their slim SEC championship hopes alive, but - combined with a win over Kentucky next weekend - would effectively shut out any chance of #10 South Carolina from winning the SEC East.



And of course, there's always just the pride in winning a major rivalry game.

Hope Barn beats the snot out of UGA

 

[TrueOrange]

I'd like UGA to win.

I'd rather see Spurrier home in December than playing in the SEC Championship, personally.

 

[CABVOL]

Auburn just got screwed. Catch all the way.

EDIT: Announced that receiver had to complete catch to the ground. Looked like he did to me and the ground caused the fumble.

 

[YankeeVol]

Sick em Dawgs

 

[Orange Maniac]

The replay official should be fired on the spot. That call was total BS. If he is that incompetent, he doesn't need to be involved in any officiating at any level.

 

[volatil]

Auburn is good. Bama better be on alert

 

[CABVOL]

Auburn is good. Bama better be on alert

That will be one helluva matchup.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

That will be one helluva matchup.

I actually disagree. I think Alabama is going to beat Auburn relatively easily.

I concur

 

[YankeeVol]

I think the writing is on the wall for Richt

 

[Spartacavolus]

That Chizik gets a NC trophy for coaching is a joke. That was all Gus.

 

[Ericvol2096]

This could get ugly.

 

[westsidefan]

that punt rule is a bad rule. i understand what they're trying to do,what are you supposed to do? you can't jump for a block?

i don't know,bama seems more vulnerable to teams with a good offense this year.

a very similar a&m team put up 42.

Manziel is a much better passer

Been hearing that for 6 years

 

[TrueOrange]

Just flagged Richt for 15 yards for getting in the ref's face after they gave the offense's (AUB's) fumble back to Auburn

 

[theutvolunteers]

That Auburn team is pretty good.

He didn't like being grabbed by the ref from behind. I think that's what sent him over the edge.

 

[SEC-GoalTenda]

That zone read of Auburn's is whipping lots of folks.

 

[Spartacavolus]

Reminds me a little of old school Nebraska. Faster and not as physical, but just running the same plays over and over. They know it. You know it. It just doesn't matter.

 

[TrueOrange]

That Auburn team is pretty good.

I think part (said part, not all) of it also is they realize how to exploit the h-ll out of the no huddle offense (and its ability to prevent not only rest but any substitutions at all)
