Rutgers @ No. 22 Iowa
Matt McGowan, Pregame Editor (34-20): Rutgers – A ranked Iowa team at home against an unranked Big Ten opponent. What could go wrong?

No. 13 Tennessee @ No. 14 Missouri
McGowan: Missouri – Shakespeare’s Pizza is pretty good, especially on a midsummer night.
Roering: Missouri – Missouri has given up 60+ points to Tennessee the past two seasons, but I think that will change.
Votzmeyer: Tennessee – Josh Dobbs, UTK alum. He is the future.
Worth: Tennessee – Even with a revitalized Tigers team, Tennessee is extending its winning streak to five over Missouri.
Merrick: Tennessee – Unless Chase Daniel’s at QB I’m not buying Mizzou.
Bohnenkamp: Missouri – A really fun SEC East game that doesn’t matter in the standings.
Brummond: Tennessee – Never forget when Missouri ducked Iowa in a football series.
No. 8 Ole Miss @ No. 2 Georgia
McGowan: Georgia – Millie would growl in disappointment if I said otherwise.
Roering: Georgia – The Bulldogs are vulnerable, but will pull out a win.
Votzmeyer: Georgia – Boring.
Worth: Georgia – Great SEC matchups this week.
Merrick: Georgia – Bulldogs stay undefeated.
Bohnenkamp: Georgia – Get ready for another Bulldogs vs. Crimson Tide SEC Championship game.

USC @ No. 6 Oregon
McGowan: Oregon – My uncle thinks Phil Parker will go to USC. What a joke … right?

Votzmeyer: Oregon – On a serious note, that camera operator was wrong for recording Williams crying.
Worth: Oregon – Caleb WIlliams is the Drake of CFB. I’ll leave it up to you if that’s good or bad.

Bohnenkamp: Oregon – 9:30 p.m. Saturday game on BTN next season.
