SEC Football is about to kick off week eight. We have some very interesting games this week. However, the weekend gets off to a bit of a slow start. In the morning game, South Carolina hosts UMass.

Once that unpleasantness is behind us, we dive in to the meat of the schedule. At 2:30 pm CT, the Texas A&M Aggies travel to Tuscaloosa to face the Alabama Crimson Tide. That one should be an absolute thriller.

Also during the afternoon, Missouri will feast on the cupcake called Middle Tennessee State University. I dare say nobody besides Missouri, and MTSU fans will be watching this one.

In the evening things stay exciting. Auburn host Arkansas in a pivotal SEC West showdown. Also, Mississippi State plays Kentucky in a battle of basement dwellers. Plus, Vandy plays host to Tennessee State.

Then, finally, Ole Miss travels to Baton Rouge for a night game against the LSU Tigers. Ole Miss’s season is on the brink of teetering off the rails. Meanwhile, the Tigers look to have found new life under the direction of Ed Orgeron. It should be a fun game.

With all of that said, it is time to give you our “Three Things to Watch For” this week. As you can guess, these are the three biggest storylines of the week, that you should keep an eye on. Without any further ado, here is number three!
