Man the lifeboats.

I can't see any reason they don't fire Smith right now, if they promote some staff guy the team might fight for him, they have quit on Smith.

Yeah, elevate Paul Petrino to head coach. It's already a circus down there. Why not just go ahead and confirm it?

Truthfully, Auburn left at least 10 pts on the field with Coats' drop on the deep route and Frazier missing an open McCaleb running down the sideline.

The game plan was fine. The offense is there. KF is just struggling to transition from a spread offense which he's always played to a pro set- one of the hardest transitions or a QB to make.

Let me get this straight. Aubbie have 2nd down near midfield with 5 minutes left ... a field goal beats the #2 team in the country ... They have one of the best place kickers in the nation ... and some of you folks think running a planned QB run and another run on 3rd and long was the right call? Please tell me you're only joking. Auburn's defense deserved coaches tonight that would play for the win.

They did play for the win. You just don't understand so you can't see it.

Right by giving Frazier less then a minute to go 40 yards down the field against LSU's defense. If you dont think he can do it with 5 minutes left what made them think he could do it with less then a minute and no timeouts ? Its comical.

There's a big difference between "playing for field position and asking your defense to make a stop rather than doing something risky when youre behind the yardage" and "being schizophrenic about Frazier". You obviously watched that game through a certain filter.

Loeffler is fine. KF will be fine. Our offensive threats are explosive. Our defense is getting it together. My one thing is that I wish we would run Mason more. Other than that, I love the way this team is going. Look out, 2013.

As if it isn't going bad enough for John L. now, he called Arkansas Alabama.

He has had such a horrible month from all sides personal and professional. It's tragic.

The Today Show's coming to the University of Tennessee.

(NBC) -- It was a heated competition between Syracuse University, Ohio State University, University of Tennessee, Brandeis University, University of South Florida and Creighton University.

So after receiving almost 150,000 votes, the winner of Kathie Lee and Hoda Go Back to College contest is ... the University of Tennessee!

Tennessee competed against Syracuse University, Ohio State University, Brandeis University, University of South Florida and Creighton University.

The TODAY Show will broadcast the fourth hour, with Hoba Kotb and Kathie Lee Gifford Monday at 10:00 a.m. live from the UT campus in Knoxville.

You'll be able to watch the events live on WRCB-TV.

University of Tennessee students' school spirit is pushing the school into the world of morning TV.

On Monday, the freewheeling fourth hour of "Today," which features hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb, will originate from the UT campus. UT is getting the opportunity after winning the show's "Kathie Lee and Hoda Go Back to College" challenge based on online votes.

Great choice Today Show. Hooray for UT!

Maybe they can engage in this sort of behavior with the rest of the UT scholars...

Kathie Lee and Hoda could both probably use a good enema.

Funny thing is Kathie Lee and Hoda have been told that they'll have to leave their alcohol at home:

University of Tennessee officials informed "Today" show correspondent Sarah Haines that Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb will have to skip the drinking if they visit campus on Oct. 1. UT is one of six colleges vying in the "College Challenge" contest on the fourth hour of "Today." If UT gets enough online votes, Kathie Lee and Hoda will do their show live from campus.

However, there may be a slight glitch. UT is a dry campus, so there will be no drinking on air, as per the show's daily ritual. No Booze Day / Tuesday or Wines Day (Wednesday) at UT. Thank goodness the women may be here on a Monday.

I must say, I lived a few houses down from the Pike House and we did have an alcohol poisoning incident where we contemplated calling the authorities but he snapped out of it and recovered nicely. I can assure you that we knew which hole to ingest the alcohol though. I'd say that incident tells us more about the Pike House than UT. What a bunch of idiots...

Guesses for this week:

Texas AM over Arkansas
Missouri over UCF
Tennessee over Georgia
South Carolina over Kentucky
LSU over Towson
ALabama over Ole Miss

[KronoRed]

At this point one has to wonder if Arkansas will win another game, I think even Kentucky can take them now.

[VottoFan54]

From what I've seen today, Auburn's QBs are pretty bad. I'm really surprised that Arkansas is winning, they looked awful the last few weeks. Florida-LSU and USC-Georgia should be great games.
