SEC teams are most vulnerable to upsets when they venture out of conference for an apparent gimme game scheduled between two league and/or tough foes.
On Saturday, Tennessee tackles UAB in the middle of UCLA and Florida. The Volunteers should repel the upset bug because they were humbled by the Bruins and have had 12 days to feel the burn. Besides, UAB has been pummeled for 94 points in two setbacks.
Ole Miss welcomes Samford a week after Wake Forest, with Vanderbilt looming. Like the Vols, the Rebs are stinging from a last-gasp loss on a field goal, so Houston Nutt should have them primed enough for a win.
Then there is Vanderbilt -- coming off an emotional trumping of South Carolina, with Ole Miss awaiting next week. The Commodores are host to Rice, impressive in two wins, the latter at usually testy Memphis.
Look no further for a Saturday surprise. Vandy's in a heap o' trouble.
What's yours? Are any SEC favorites goin' down?
