BamaCentral's SEC Staff Picks: Week 9

It's going to be a great slate of Week 9 games across college football. Every Friday on "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" the BamaCentral staff gathers to break down the weekend's games and make picks.
This week's schedule features five SEC matchups with a bonus game from outside the conference of national implications. The schedule doesn't look strong this week but does that mean college football is ripe for an upset?
We open our picks discussing South Carolina at Texas A&M as both programs are sort of floundering through the season. No. 1 Georgia against Florida is likely the most marquee matchup in the SEC with Mississippi State at Auburn being thrown into the background of the same time slot. The evening game of No. 21 Tennessee at Kentucky looks a bit interesting as the Tide just dealt with the Volunteers and has the Wildcats coming up in two weeks and we finish with likely the most predictable game as Vanderbilt goes to Oxford to play No. 12 Ole Miss.
Our out of conference matchup this week is No. 8 Oregon at No. 13 Utah. Check out the pundits picks as we only give you winners and watch the segment to hear the analysis and some commentary on the Las Vegas lines.
