Here is this week's schedule:

Wednesday - Oct 16th:
Kentucky at Tennessee -> Kentucky should win this match. Maybe 3 sets to 1 set.
Auburn at Alabama -> Auburn should win on the road at their state rival.

Friday - Oct 18th:
OKLAHOMA at Georgia -> OU will be on the road from Wednesday to Sunday this week. The match looks to be a toss-up with Georgia maybe a slight edge at home. OU would do themsleves a great deal of good with a win.
Ole Miss at South Carolina -> South Carolina should be a slight favorite in this one.
Arkansas at Texas -> Texas has the best player and a great deal of height advantage over Arkansas. They should win at home.
Florida at Texas A&M -> I would take A&M in this one, but it could be a 5-set match.

Sunday - Oct 20th:
OKLAHOMA at South Carolina -> If OU can win on Friday, maybe they can double up with a win on Sunday. One win this weekend is needed by OU, two wins would be a winning streak for OU.
Florida at LSU -> Florida needs at least one win this week, this may need to be that win.
Auburn at Tennessee -> Auburn should win this one
Georgia at Texas -> Texas should win.
Arkansas at Texas A&M -> Can Arkansas salvage a win against the two top Texas schools? Probably not. Arkansas may be swept this week in Texas.
Mississippi State at Missouri -> Missouri should win over MSU.
Kentucky at Alabama -> Kentucky might win in straight sets over Bama.
(Ole Miss is off on Sunday.)

Good luck to the Sooners this week.
