Week 5: Bring out your dead.

By Kyle Magin

On Saturday John L. Smith and his Razorbacks head to College Station for their next stop in a season of ass-whoopings. I wonder if they don't feel like this already:

"I'm not dead yet!"
The SEC's most intriguing matchup just might be the Tennessee Volunteers going up against a confident, improving team of Georgia Bulldogs. We'll take a look at 'Bama just cause.

Arkansas @ Texas A&M -14
Whoa-ho-ho, bring your Serta pillows, because this is going to be one hell of a featherweight battle. In this corner, the Arkansas Razorbacks, proud owners of a 1-3 record and a third down conversion percentage of 28 percent! And in the other red corner, with a record of 2-1 with wins against nobody, the Texas A&M Aggies!

Actually, A&M, while playing against inferior opponents, is actually putting together a competent-looking stat line. D-lineman Damontre Moore, with six sacks and eight tackles for loss is wreaking havoc in opposing backfields and is just the kind of player that could force fumbles and injuries of Arkansas backs who are getting exactly no protection from the Hogs offensive line. If the defense can keep the Hogs quiet in the first half its very balanced offense—passing and rushing plays are split nearly 50/50 and both strategies have been effective in the red zone, where the Aggies score at a 91 percent pace—will march on past Arkansas to its first SEC victory.

Tennessee @ Georgia -13
Tennessee heads down Between the Hedges to take on an absolute wrecking ball of a Georgia rushing attack (and pretty good passing attack, too.) The Dawgs' running backs are gaining about six yards per rush and the receivers are pulling in Aaron Murray bombs, averaging 16.2 yards per catch. The real star, though, is linebacker Jarvis Jones, who has tackled or sacked opposing offenses for a total loss of 88 yards. On his own. Add in interception yardage, and Jones has earned the Dawgs about 100 total yards. Tennessee isn't getting much help from its 59th-ranked rushing game, which could put an unreasonable amount of pressure on QB Tyler Bray, who is having a fantastic season but struggled against Florida, the best defense the Vols saw before this weekend's matchup. This is also the 3-1 Vols' first road game, which could spell trouble.

Mississippi @ Alabama -31
Ole Miss will probably get steamrolled.
