- College football predictions, picks for Week 8 schedule include SEC showdowns

There are three ranked-on-ranked pairings in the SEC alone, headlined by the top-10 clash matching No. 5 Mississippi and No. 7 Georgia between the hedges. Elsewhere in 'just means more land,' No. 6 Alabama hosts No. 11 Tennessee in their traditional third Saturday in October encounter, and No. 10 LSU heads to No. 18 Vanderbilt.

There is also the annual showdown between No. 15 Notre Dame and No. 21 Southern California, with this year's version likely to serve as a playoff eliminator.
