SEC Week 9 Predictions Featuring Former Tennessee Baseball Player Dylan Dreiling

It's another week of college football, which means there is another week of SEC games, although many already know that the Tennessee Volunteers won't be active and playing today, as they are in the middle of their bye week. They are prepping for their night game against the Kentucky Wildcats, which is one of the better games of the entire college season slate.

However, there are still some key games that are being played inside the SEC, as some of the ranked teams from inside the conference are set to play in a game, including one of the biggest games of the entire SEC season between the Florida Gators and the Georgia Bulldogs. This is a game that could have massive SEC stakes when it comes to the championship game, which is something that Tennessee can, of course, be in play for. Especially if they win out, as they stand a great shot of making the championship game if they win out.

This week we are joined by Dylan Dreiling, who is a former Tennessee baseball player, and a current minor league baseball player in the Rangers farm system. He is also a former national championship baseball star for the Vols.

Make sure you follow Dylan on Instagram and a big thank you to him for joining our pick em' this week.
