The folks over at SEC Nation have picked the Mississippi State football team to beat the Kentucky Wildcats on their own field
The SEC Nation crew followed in the footsteps of the College Gameday folks. This morning, when the College Gameday crew was making their selections for the Mississippi State football team’s game against the Kentucky Wildcats, everyone picked MSU to win.
The SEC Network’s Southeastern Conference specific version of the show did the exact same thing. Paul Finebaum, Marcus Spears, and Tim Tebow all chose the Mississippi State Bulldogs to come out on top.
This means that both of ESPN’s college football morning shows unanimously picked the Mississippi State football team to win on national television. Seven analysts made picks, all seven picked the Bulldogs over the Wildcats.

What’s interesting with those SEC Nation picks, but ultimately something that comes of no real surprise, is that the three analysts pretty much picked the same teams across the board. In the six games discussed, every game was picked the same except for the Florida-Tennessee game. There, Marcus Spears went away from conventional thought and picked the Volunteers to knock down the Gators.
Again, it’s no surprise that almost every game here was selected in the same way.
South Carolina should beat Vanderbilt (though that game is closer than Gamecock fans would want), Auburn should certainly beat Arkansas, Alabama is in the midst of beating up on Texas A&M, Georgia thumped Missouri, and Florida should beat Tennessee.
And, well the Mississippi State Bulldogs should beat Kentucky. MSU and Kentucky will play soon. The Bulldogs and the Wildcats kickoff at 6:00 PM Central Time tonight. The game will be shown on ESPN2.
