Check out The Smylie Show on SportsGrid

South Carolina Gamecocks vs. Oklahoma Sooners (-1.5)

There hasn't been a lot to like about what the Oklahoma Sooners have brought to the table on a weekly basis. The Gamecocks continue exploiting the Sooners here. 

Prediction: South Carolina 27, Oklahoma 23

No. 7 Alabama Crimson Tide (-2.5) vs. No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers

The Tennessee Volunteers need some urgency in this major SEC matchup against a vulnerable Crimson Tide team. We'll take the points and the home side in this matchup with plenty of College Football Playoff implications. 

Prediction: Tennessee 30, Alabama 27

No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies (-14.5) vs. Mississippi State Bulldogs

It's hard to envision the Bulldogs finding much of any success in moving the football against this dangerous Texas A&M defense. 

Prediction: Texas A&M 33, Mississippi State 13

No. 8 LSU Tigers (-2.5) vs. Arkansas Razorbacks

As much as it's been a fun story to follow Arkansas this season, the LSU Tigers can't afford another slip up after a strong showing last week vs. Ole Miss. 

Prediction: LSU 30, Arkansas 26

Ball State Cardinals vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (-25.5)

There's a lot to like about the direction that Clark Lea continues to take the Vanderbilt Commodores. This is a matchup that favors the Commodores from start to finish. 

Prediction: Vanderbilt 39, Ball State 13

No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs vs. No. 1 Texas Longhorns (-4.5)

The biggest game of Week 8 has the Georgia Bulldogs visiting the Texas Longhorns. I don't envision the Bulldogs struggling in the first half like they did against Alabama. Look for Georgia to keep this close and pull off the late upset. 

Prediction: Georgia 28, Texas 26

Kentucky Wildcats (-1.5) vs. Florida Gators

Despite some real improvements of late on offense, I'm not sure how the Florida Gators are going to manage against a strong Kentucky defensive line. Give me the visitors in a tight one. 

Prediction: Kentucky 20, Florida 17
