Week 3 is knocking on the door, and is packed full of conference games that will begin to separate the contenders from the pretenders. A return to Oxford is imminent for Lane Kiffin and the Bayou Bengals, and an early season showdown between two new coaches will shine under the lights in Jordan-Hare

Each week, the Auburn Roundtable team will be picking the SEC games and seeing if they can have the best record by the end of the year!
