Biggest Games

1.  Florida at LSU.  October 6, 2001.

          A preview of the SEC championship game and a chance for Gary Gibbs to prove that his hiring was justified if he can slow the Spurrier attack.

2.  Florida State at Florida.  November 17, 2001.

          I know, it's not number 1?  Well Florida State will not play for the national title this year so it takes a little off.  Besides, Florida will have a tougher time winning in Baton Rouge than at home in Gainesville.

3.  Tennessee at Notre Dame.  November 3, 2001.

          A chance for Tennessee to prove that it is better than the butt-kicking it took in the Cotton Bowl a year ago and for Casey Clausen to show he can perform on the road.

4.  Mississippi at Mississippi State.  November 22, 2001.  

          Always one of the most entertaining games in the country, this time you'll get to see Eli Manning go against what is never a soft secondary in the Bulldogs.  

5.  Alabama at Auburn.  November 17, 2001.

          Another one of the best rivalries in the country, this time the Tide have a coach that has a clue and Auburn is trying to rebuilt into a repeat for the West division title.

BCS Selection.

   Before you start getting angry at all the teams that make it to bowls from the SEC and start cussing Roy Kramer examine the SEC.  Florida, LSU, and Tennessee would compete with anyone in any conference in the country, bar none.  Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and Mississippi State may not appear to be worthy of bowls after their conference records come in to play, but when the bowls are over they will prove it.  Wait and see.  This is where they go.  South Carolina will be the last SEC team in when a second BCS team helps them get into the Music City Bowl.  Mississippi State will make a repeat appearance in the Independence Bowl that has become a home away from home for the Mississippi schools.  Eli Manning and Mississippi will play Woodrow Dantzler and Clemson in the Peach Bowl, while Alabama will return to the bowl scene at the Cotton Bowl.  Mark Richt will take his new school back to Florida to finish the season at the Outback bowl and Tennessee will be smelling the Citrus.  LSU will get into the BCS for the first time as they head down the road to the Sugar Bowl.  Finally, our first selection for the Rose Bowl's national championship game is Florida.  Can Spurrier win one without Stoops?
