Week 11 of the college football season will see more top-25 showdowns among the SEC. The biggest game is between No. 6 Texas and No. 21 LSU. The Tigers were just humiliated last weekend against Alabama, while Texas went on the road to beat Missouri.

The Tigers play better at home and at night, but dare we say, the Longhorns have turned a corner. A win for Lane Kiffin would keep LSU alive, and a win for Texas would likely cement its place in the playoff.

In other news, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ole Miss all have big games. Both Ole Miss and Kentucky lost last weekend and would like to get back into the win column, while the Vols are moving up the playoff rankings and a win over Texas A&M would allow that to continue.

Here’s how all the SEC games could go.

LSU laid a giant egg last weekend when it hosted Alabama. The Tigers were demolished 31-13 and Lane Kiffin can’t allow back-to-back performances like that. LSU is known as ‘Death Valley’ for a reason, but there was no sign of Death Valley a week ago.

This game will be played at night, and we would assume Sam Leavitt and Co. will be ready. How will Arch Manning fare? Well, as of late, he’s done quite well. Manning appears to have turned a corner, and while it’s hard to completely trust him, this type of play will result in a lot of wins for Texas.

Like most of these games, it comes down to quarterback play. Leavitt is capable of putting up massive numbers, but Manning is hot.

Final score: Texas 31, LSU 27

The rest of the games will be quick-hitter style:

  • Auburn 31, Mississippi State 17
  • No. 3 Alabama 34, Vanderbilt 13
  • No. 8 Tennessee 24, Texas A&M 20
  • No. 1 Georgia 38, No. 22 Missouri 24
  • No. 19 Ole Miss 27, Oklahoma 24
  • No. 11 Kentucky 28, Florida 21
  • No. 17 South Carolina 34, Arkansas 17
