There are only three undefeated teams left in the SEC. After today, there may only be one, and it might not be Georgia.

At noon today, the surprising, No. 21 Missouri Tigers put their perfect, 5-0 record on the line when they host the No. 23 LSU Tigers (3-2). Yes, hot Tiger-on-Tiger SEC action. Missouri is ranked higher, has a better record, and is the home team, but LSU is a 5.5-point favorite. What actually happens is really anybody's guess. Go Tigers!

Hardcore SEC enthusiasts will hope for a Missouri victory so that the conference still has two undefeated teams. SEC traditionalists will cheer for LSU, a perennial conference powerhouse. It should also be noted that while Mizzou is SEC East, LSU is in the SEC West, so whoever wins will make their division look stronger.

Georgia plays Misery on Nov. 4 but doesn't have a scheduled game against LSU. We may face LSU again in the SEC Championship like we did last year if they win the West, but first LSU will have to pass both No. 11 Alabama (4-1) and unranked Texas A&M (4-1) in the standings.

Those two teams play each other at 3:30 when the Crimson Tide goes down to College Station today. LSU plays both teams later this season, and Tiger fans are probably cheering for an Aggies upset (Alabama's favored by 2.5), as the chances of LSU beating A&M in a home game are probably a lot better than of beating 'Bama on the road.

But the important, big-ass game today of course is Kentucky at Georgia. The No. 1-ranked, repeat National Champion Georgia Bulldogs are a 14.5-point favorite and haven't lost to Kentucky since 2009, back in the Mark Richt era. The Dawgs lead the all-time series against Kentucky, 62-12-2, and have a 31-4-2 record against the Wildcats in Athens.

To be frank, Kentucky has never been known as a college football powerhouse, at least in my lifetime, and the main responsibility of the Wildcat football team has been not to embarrass the basketball team too badly. Kentucky hasn't won the SEC Championship since 1950, when they were coached by Bear Bryant and went on to beat Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl. Curiously, though, the only time the Wildcats held the Holy Moley Guacamole One True Belt (blessed be its name) wasn't during the Bear Bryant years but in 2010, when they won it away from South Carolina. They promptly then lost it to Georgia the very next weekend (Georgia lost it to Florida the weekend after that).

But Kentucky has quietly gone 5-0 this season and are currently the only other undefeated SEC team outside of Missouri and Georgia. They've watched as Georgia has struggled early in games against South Carolina and Auburn. Confident after beating Florida last weekend, Kentucky's thinking if they can put some points on the board early in the game, they could be the team that holds on and prevents Georgia from scoring a second-half win. And if the Auburn game wasn't the wake-up call the Bulldogs need, they might be right.

It will be an interesting game, far more interesting than Georgia-Kentucky matchups in the past.

Meanwhile, No. 3 Texas will finally lose its first game of the season today when they host the undefeated No. 12 Oklahoma Sooners. No surprise, Texas always folds to Oklahoma teams in big games. No. 4 Ohio State also plays an undefeated team today, unranked Maryland, but should make easy work of beating the Terrapins.

That's about it today. No. 2 Michigan has a laugher game against unranked Minnesota (3-2). If you want to jump back on the Coach Prime bandwagon, Colorado (3-2) should easily defeat a hapless Arizona State (1-4) team today. The Buffalos are 3.5-point favorites. Finally, both Bonix and Penix are resting up this week for their big showdown next weekend as Oregon and Washington both have byes.

Enjoy the games, y'all and GO DAWGS!
