Two Top 10 teams were beaten last Saturday, but neither was from the Southeast. The region's oldest rivalry was renewed in Athens as Georgia regained a certain amount of respect by downing Auburn by a touchdown. Georgia Tech wrapped up a berth in the ACC title game by trouncing Duke and Clemson moved one step closer to a rematch with the Jackets by humiliating N.C. State.

Heads will be knocking and pads popping all over Dixie this week as the games get more critical.

Virginia at Clemson - Dabo Swinney's Tigers have won 5 in a row. They will clinch the ACC Atlantic Division title with a win here. Clemson by 17.

LSU at Ole Miss - What a battle this should be! The Rebs have home field advantage. That should be just enough. Ole Miss by 4.

North Carolina at Boston College - BC must win to keep their Atlantic Division title hopes alive. The Heels are coming off a big win over Miami and should win again over the Eagles. North Carolina by 10.

Maryland at Wake Forest - The Demon Deacons should prevail in this clash of ACC "also rans." Wake by 13.

N.C. State at Virginia Tech - The Hokies from the Commonwealth add to the woes of the Wolfpack. Virginia Tech by 13.

Vandy at Tennessee - Even the distraction of the armed robbery incident will not be enough to give Vandy the upset. Tennessee by 15.

Duke at Miami - These two teams have good offenses and no defense. Miami won't lose to Duke at home. Miami by 14.

Kentucky at Georgia - The Dawgs need to be careful of a letdown following the emotional win over Auburn. Georgia became bowl eligible by squeaking by Auburn. This should be another squeaker. UGA by 4.

Louisville at South Florida - Even the late season swoon USE is in won't keep them from whipping hapless Louisville. USF by 17.

Memphis at Tulsa - Tiger coach Tommy West's swan song is another loss. Tulsa by 15.

Tulane at Central Florida - The Knights upset nationally ranked Houston last week and should easily pick up another win here. UCF by 19.

Florida International at Florida - Give me a break! Florida by 48.

Chattanooga at Alabama - The Tide has never been beaten by the Mocs. Nothing will change this Saturday. Bama by 40.

Mississippi State vs Arkansas (at Little Rock) - This battle should be one of the best of the weekend. Little Rock is a second home to the Razorbacks and they should eke one out over the improved Bulldogs. Arkansas by 3.
