STANDINGS THROUGH WEEK 3:
ZAC: 37-3
CHRISTIAN: 37-3
TREY: 35-5
MICHAEL: 34-6
Texas at Tennessee

CHRISTIAN RAUH: I think this game is extremely close, one that's not expected, but the Longhorns find a way to win on the road. Texas 24-21
TREY LEE: Faizon Brandon faces his toughest test to date in the Longhorn defense. I think this one is close at half, but Texas takes control in the second half.
Texas 31 Tennessee 14
MICHAEL BRAUNER: Tennessee (to win)
South Alabama at Kentucky

CHRISTIAN: I think Kentucky continues to prove a point that they are not the same Wildcats under Will Stein. Kentucky 38-17
TREY: Kentucky continues their momentum after a huge win against A&M.

Ole Miss at Florida

CHRISTIAN: I think Florida could be the real deal and not just them playing well one week against Auburn. Ole Miss struggles with missed tackles. Florida wins 31-24.
TREY: I was wrong on both these teams last week. Trinidad Chambliss is the truth.
Ole Miss 37 Florida 24
MICHAEL: Florida
Oklahoma at Georgia

CHRISTIAN: Oklahoma's defense is good, but not good enough to beat Georgia. I'm very concerned about the Sooners' offensive situations. Georgia 36, Oklahoma 14.
TREY: Georgia's first real test of the season makes it to the 3rd quarter before it turns into a blowout.
Georgia 45 Oklahoma 27

Vanderbilt at Auburn

CHRISTIAN: This feels like a must-win for the Auburn Tigers after losing the SEC opener at home to Florida in embarrassing fashion. I think they go out and make a statement against the freshman quarterback and prove that Alex Golesh is the right hire. Auburn 38-24.
TREY: Auburn avenges the past 2 years and finally defeats Clarke Lea and the Commodores.

South Carolina at Alabama

CHRISTIAN: The Tide struggled early against Florida State last week, and South Carolina could possibly do the same, especially if they get pressure on their young signal caller. This one could be closer than expected. Alabama 27-21
TREY: Alabama's offense is buzzing currently. South Carolina started well last week but couldn't finish the job. Bama continues their offensive explosion.

Texas A&M at LSU

CHRISTIAN: Both teams are looking to get right after heartbreaking losses last week. The question is, which team do you think will respond the best? In this case, I'll go with the home team: LSU wins 31-23.
TREY: Both teams are looking to bounce back after losses last week. I'll take the Bayou Bengals with Sam Leavitt getting back on track.
LSU 34 Texas A&M 21
MICHAEL: LSU (Win + Cover)
Missouri at Mississippi State

CHRISTIAN: This might be one of the highest-scoring games of the weekend, especially between two AP top 25 teams. The Kamario Taylor magic rides again for one more week. Mississippi State wins 42-31.
TREY: Both these teams have handled business through the first 3 weeks of the season. I think Mississippi State's defense makes a key stop late to stay undefeated.
Mississippi State 28 Missouri 21
MICHAEL: MS State (Win + Cover)
Tulsa at Arkansas
CREDIT: IMAGN IMAGES via Reuters ConnectZAC: Arkansas 27 Tulsa 21
CHRISTIAN: I was actually surprised seeing Arkansas favored in this one after how they've played so far this season and with Tulsa already with a Power 4 victory over Oklahoma State. The Razorbacks desperately need a win, as their program is already in shambles. I think they find it here. They win 30-21.
TREY: We could be approaching Chad Morris-level bad in Fayettville. A good Tulsa team gives the Hogs a scare.
