    If you were forced to pick one, then I would say Okie State will pull off the upset. It won't be easy in Stillwater.

    Bama simply because its the Iron Bowl and Auburn is worse off then us this year. This will make their entire Season and the fact LSU took them to Overtime (bama) shows they can be beat. They are not dominating teams like OU. Bama is a great team, well coached and diciplined. I still think Bama wins but Auburn will put it all on the line as they have nothing to lose and bama has everything to lose.

    Tuberville is very capable of pulling it off.

    I think OU could lose today. And Florida will have a tough time with State cause of their D.

    I can't vote but i'd say OSU doesn't stop the OU offense. May not be a total blowout but I think OU rolls to atleast a 17 point win.
    I think Auburn has a better chance with the upset of Bama though... like Arky... this is their bowl game and have basically nothing to lose, they win they get a minor bowl... they lose and its all she wrote until season.

    I'll be going back and forth watching Bama/Auburn and Fl/Fl State, hoping both underdogs win...

    ...That would warm the cockles of my heart... then Oregon over Oregon State would have my cockles steaming.

    Cockle may refer to:

    * Cockle (bivalve)
    * Cockle (weed)
    * Berwick cockles, a confectionery from Scotland
    * The phrase 'warm the cockles of one's heart' refers to the ventricles of the heart (Latin: cochleae cordis)
    * Cockle (cockney rhyming slang for £10)

    Cockles come from shallow waters of the ocean bed and are also known as mochacocka.

    I figured it was time to look this up and see what it really was... You over 50? :wink:

    I voted Aub. I hope Aub breaks the gumps heart and adds about 5 years to Sabans age. Nothing would be sweeter.

    I think Auburn might pull off the upset.

    They have nothing to lose, and you can't underestimate the power of a good rivalry. Sort of like when a 100 pound woman lifts a wrecked car to save her kid - can't explain how she did it, but she did! :geaux:
