SEC Thanksgiving Weekend includes Egg & Iron Bowls

Once again SEC college football fans will be treated to a bounty of games over the Thanksgiving Day weekend starting with in-state rivalry between Miss State (7-4-0) and Ole Miss (5-6-0), better known as the Egg Bowl.

Dak Prescott

Kickoff today is 7:30 p.m. ET (ESPN) and a win gives the Bulldogs their 4th straight bowl game.  The Bulldogs are also looking to bring the Egg Bowl trophy back to Starkville after a 17 point loss last year to Ole Miss.

For Dan Mullen it would boost his efforts and recoup his 2010 "Never losing to this team again" statement.  With QB Dak Prescott listed as doubtful, Miss State may look to the Ole Miss record on the road and claim Davis Wade Stadium as a key advantage.

Friday, November 28th Arkansas vs #17 LSU will likely be a win for the Tigers (8-3-0) as the Razorbacks (3-8-0) are 0-7 against SEC teams this year so why break a record now?  Hang in there guys remember Auburn's 2012 season?  Kickoff time is 2:30 p.m. and CBS will carry the game for those not shopping on Black Friday.

The weekend continues with the traditional Saturday games and of course if you have not heard by now there is kind of a big deal going on in Jordan-Hare Stadium with the rivalry between Alabama's Crimson Tide and the Auburn Tigers (this week more fans are using the War Eagle nickname).  Rightfully so this is probably the game to watch for true SEC excitement.  Affectionately know as the Iron Bowl, fans are getting some college football SEC style this year.

#1 Alabama (11-0-0) and #4 Auburn (10-1-0), who lost to the Tide 49-0 last season, will kickoff on CBS at 3:30 p.m. (sorry ABC you are carrying the Georgia vs Georgia Tech game at the same time, and these teams are both 7-4-0 this season).

With another national championship and a possible undefeated season on the line, rest assured Nick Saban will be in rare form from the sidelines as his team works to make SEC history.

#2 Florida State (11-0-0) takes on Florida (no ranking here) and the Gators have proven everyone gets a turn at a losing season with their (4-7-0).  #2 Florida State is looking for a National Championship game with #1 Alabama.  Florida is plagued with so many injuries it would justify a separate article.

The big story for FSU has been the investigation of QB Jameis Winston for alleged sexual assault from an incident reported in December 2012.  While Winston has denied the allegations, The Tampa Bay Times reported the investigation may have violated federal law under Title IX.  According to the story schools are mandated by the Department of Education to perform a "prompt, thorough and impartial" investigation within 60 days.

The remaining SEC matches are Wake Forest vs Vanderbilt 12:21 p.m., #6 Clemson vs #10 South Carolina 7:00 p.m., Tenn vs Kentucky also at 7:00 p.m. and in a role reversal from 2012, #21 Texas A&M takes on #5 Missouri.

Missouri needs a win to capture the SEC East title and after 111 matchups, Clemson and South Carolina meet with both teams ranked.
