Well, Mississippi State, cowbells didn't help you tonight. How many opportunities did you have to win this game, about 5? And blew it on every possession. 
Cost you the game 17-14.

About as many as Auburn did to blow this game out of the water. Way to go D!!!!!!!!

I've never seen such horrid play at the end of the game by Mississippi State. Having the ball at the 40 of Auburn off of a pass interference call and ending up getting nothing out of it was bad. They had opportunities but just did not capitalize.

And that was realllllllllllllllly bad PI call on Auburn.

Sorry.
I wish I had changed my pick on the Auburn game. I wanted them to win, but the oddsmakers picked Mississippi State.
I may end up wishing I had changed my pick on the Georgia game.BTW I was expecting Iris to have a perfect week. But Auburn messed her (and me) up. Sorry.

Didn't Auburn challenge a call in the game? Maybe that pass interference call? Cannot wait for the games tomorrow, especially the Oregon-Tennessee game tomorrow night.

After reading the above few posts I am glad that I didn't watch the game. I should have also picked Auburn, just really though MS could do it. Oh, well.

I miss having a Sowal blog - I can never remember who I've picked!

I did too. They had ample chances to go ahead/and or win the game. They just to me got sloppy during those attempts, making too many bad play decisions.

Go Big Orange!

Most embarrassing play ever
Brantley just fumbled the snap, grabbed it, and then threw it and hit the ref!

What's up with the Gators? They look way worse than last week.
Might wish I had gone with S. Fla.

Florida regrouped and won, they have looked really sluggish in their first two games though.

Speculaton, obviously.Go Demps!

Something got them going, that is for sure. BTW, go Noles and Hurricanes.

Not as much as the ACC, JAMES MADISON
beats VA TECH, and Kansas beats Ga. Tech, and so far Okie is putting a beat down on the Noles.Did anyone pick Kansas?

Don't know but the Canes are not helping themselves either with 4 picks thrown by Harris. Why would Jimbo Fisher hire Mike Stoops? I don't see anything so special about him! He is not helping the Noles at all.

I was holding my breath in that one. Woo Hoo! Vols up 6-0 over #7 Oregon. But unfortunately both teams have been sent to the locker room due to lightning in the area. That will probably take the wind out of Tennessee's sails and put it in Oregon's. Tennessee was revved up, caused a Oregon fumble. Rats.

Murray Balkcom picked Kansas.

Woo Hoo. Vols are looking good. Taking care of Oregon pretty well right now. I am in one good mood. C'mon Vols, nothing would make me happier than to have the Vols beat Oregon.

I got so stressed out over the Florida game that I chipped one of my front teeth. yet
My dentist is a big Auburn fan. He will LOL at me when I call in on Monday AM. I think that my stress damage to my teeth has paid for his children's college tuition.
