Week 11: GameDay Picks
Posted by Jimmy Atkinson
It's Showdown Saturday in the SEC. Between the hedges tonight, #15 Auburn takes on #9 Georgia for the 109th time in the Deep South's oldest rivalry. But even that's not where the hype is today because earlier in the afternoon #5 LSU comes to Tuscaloosa to face #4 Alabama in a game that may decide control of the SEC West, if not have national championship implications for both teams.
College GameDay is in Tuscaloosa for the big showdown. Following last Saturday's Miami win over VT, the standings through ten weeks are:
Jimbo 6-4
Lee Corso 6-4
Kirk Herbstreit 5-5
Today, Corso picked LSU, while Herbstreit picked home underdog Alabama. I'm with Corso on this one. Alabama has not faced any really tough competition this year, and they've struggled to win some of the games that they have. One offensive touchdown in the last three games is not the confidence you want to have when you go up against #5 LSU if you're a Tide fan. The Tigers will be the only ones rolling today. Their defense shuts out Alabama's meager offense.
Jimbo's Pick: LSU 20 - Alabama 0
