College and SEC Picks Panel Week 3

Written by Darrell Owenby | 17 September 2010

The panel has convened once again to offer up their picks for this week's game.  My picks went up yesterday via my Osama bin Laden "hiding in the cave" video ... at this point, the only picks that I am still struggling with are:

Arkansas at Georgia ... yes, Arkansas is horrible on the road ... but honestly?  Georgia was held to 6 points by South Carolina's defense.  SC has a good defense, but are they great?  If Arkansas had shown fast starts in the first half, I would have easily taken them this week ... but they have struggled against inferior opponents ... Arkansas could have a shot at winning that game, but I am sticking with my original pick in the Georgia Bulldogs ... which usually causes UGA to lose.

Florida at Tennessee:  Which Florida offense shows up?  The Gators are good on defense, but struggled early in the game against USF ... Tennessee gave Oregon everything they wanted and then some ... in the first hald.  Could be a closer game than many think.

Is Clemson better than we want to think?  Can Auburn find the offense they lost in the second half of last week's game?  Have been really waffling on this pick as well, but seeing the entire panel take AU makes me wonder if we are over compensating for Auburn? Our panelists include some of the best minds in the SEC and around the nation:

MoonDog Sports:  Fred is a top shelf analyzer of all things college football ... and scantily clad women
Darrell Owenby:  I kinda run SECRivals ... or something ... when I have time
Brad "The Clone" Bain:  Heard world wide via the internet (and locally in the Knoxville market), Brad's shows on ESPN 1180 include his Friday Night High School show and the widely acclaimed Sunday show:  The Neutral Zone.
Alex "AA" Anderson:  Also from ESPN 1180 in Knoxville, AA is Tony Basilio's partner in crime.
LOHD or Left Over Hot Dog:  LOHD is the most solid South Carolina Gamecocks blog on the net ... bar none.  I would put Rich's site up against any Gamecocks blog out there and happily collect the money after he delivered the beat down.

Give em all a shout, like the next five panelists, these guys know their stuff inside out, forwards and backwards.

Aaron Torres:  Aaron is one of the most under rated, HILARIOUS, general sports bloggers on the net.  A bona fide journalism graduate, Aaron provides expert analysis and digs deep to find out the facts.
Deborah Horton:  Deborah wears a TON of hats (blogs) and excels in them in all ... an expert on Georgia athletics (including the Braves and Hawks), Deborah calls it the way she sees it.
SportsOverload:  Ron Jumper is a seasoned handicapper who delves into areas that most sports fans are not willing to consider.  Make sure you follow Ron's site for completely free picks while watching his bankroll.
Strait Pinkie:  Hailing from the Bluegrass State, the Strait Pinkie crew is absolutely next level when it comes to innuendo and hilarity.  To top it off, they are also on top of their game when it comes to UK and U of L athletics ... Oh Yump!
Fight is Right:  Keep your eyes peeled for the launch of their new site.  Bloguin veterans like several of us, we are anxiously awaiting their launch because the site will quickly become part of everybody's "Must Read" list.
