- Hey, what's this? It's a link to my live chat about Auburn football at 3 p.m. ET/2 p.m. CT. Hope to see you there.
- Defensive end Montez Robinson has moved around a lot in life before settling in at Georgia, writes Marc Weiszer of the Athens Banner-Herald.
- Bulldogs quarterback nearly played for Ted Roof when he was the head coach at Duke, writes Weiszer in this notebook.
- Former Georgia resident Darvin Adams, aka "Smooth," is thriving in Auburn's offense, writes Ken Sugiura of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
- Bill King lists Georgia's best 10 wins against Auburn on the awesomely-named Junkyard Blawg.
- Mark Bradley of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution asks where Georgia might rank right now if it was in the ACC.
- ESPN blogger Chris Low's picks are in. He's going with Georgia 31, Auburn 28:
- "Georgia 31, Auburn 28: The South’s oldest rivalry doesn’t mean as much as it has in past years in terms of the SEC race, but the winner can help itself considerably in the bowl picture. With a trip to Georgia Tech looming in a couple of weeks, the Bulldogs desperately need a win. The Tigers are gunning for their eighth win in Gene Chizik’s first season on the Plains. Both defenses have had their issues this season, which means whoever has the ball last might win. A.J. Green tips the scales in Georgia’s favor."
- Three Tennessee players -- Janzen Jackson, Mike Edwards and Nu'Keese Richardson -- were arrested on charges of attempted armed robbery.
- Ole Miss DE Greg Hardy's injury-plagued college career is over with .... well, an injury. He broke his wrist, writes David Brandt of the Jackson Clarion-Ledger.
- Mississippi State's power running game out of the spread is a new challenge for Alabama's defense, writes Michael Casagrande of the Decatur Daily. Sounds like it's a pretty good prep game for the Iron Bowl, actually.
- SEC commissioner Mike Slive has gotten carried away with his power, writes Dave Climer of the Tennessean.
- Hey, Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson favors a playoff. Now we just need about 100 more coaches to get on board. Oh, and all of the athletic directors and school presidents.
- The Wizards of Odds takes a look at how teams schedule their non-conference opponents. Surprise, teams in the SEC don't like to travel very far. In fact, Auburn is the worst offender when it comes to traveling to play non-conference opponents, with only three non-league road games in the last 10 years (although I think they missed the West Virginia game on there, so that should be four).
- $4.2 million? No wonder Jim Grobe doesn't want to leave Wake Forest. OK, it's $2.1 million, but still.
- When you can't remember the score correctly, it might be time to get out, Bobby Bowden.
- This is cool. Matt Hinton at Dr. Saturday reviews the decade's most miraculous plays. With video.
- Texas really can waltz into the BCS championship, writes Stewart Mandel of Sports Illustrated In fact, with Oklahoma having a down year, the Longhorns might make the title game having beaten nobody in the season's final top 25. And yet Mack Brown complains that non-BCS teams shouldn't be part of the championship picture.
- Watch out, Nike's making a uniform move again. This time, it's the "Pro Combat" uniform. Some of their digs look pretty cool. Like Florida State's with a black helmet. Here are the rest.
