Teams are listed below in order of their respective ranking inside their conference...Who would win these games?

Alabama vs Ohio State
Auburn vs Michigan
LSU vs Penn State
Florida vs Wisconsin
Tennessee vs Iowa
Texas A&M vs Nebraska
Arkansas vs Minnesota
Georgia vs Northwestern
Kentucky vs Indiana
Ole Miss vs Maryland
Vanderbilt vs Michigan State
Mississippi State vs Illinois
South Carolina vs Purdue
Missouri vs Rutgers

I think the top four games would split, and then it would be an SEC rout from there...

In those matchups, Auburn and Florida are almost guaranteed losses for SEC (assuming we're talking about teams at end of the season. Auburn looked good after about week 4).

LSU would be a tossup, Bama likely wins. I agree that the rest of the matchups could be a SEC rout with probably Kentucky and maybe a random loss by Georgia.

I have Bama and LSU winning, Auburn and Florida losing, although I think they would be closer than we think...after that, the SEC is way too deep for the Big Ten...

I think Nebraska vs TAMU would be close but I think Nebraska would pull it out.

You could be right it's hard to rank trash teams, so I have no idea at the bottom

Probably depends on whether it's the dominate first half of the season A&M or the free falling second half of the season A&M (obviously playing tougher teams is part of the issue).

A&M reminds me of the John L Smith Michigan State teams: they start strong, but finish weak.

So much bad football right there, but the SEC is the least bad in most match ups.

From Kentuck/Indiana game on down, I don't really know much about the teams to pick a winner.

The LSU/Penn State game would be awesome.

Yeah, it's a hard one to figure. If I had to put money on it, probably Nebraska.

Nebraska hasn't beaten a good team all year. Whether or not A&M qualifies as good is up for debate.

Penn State should be in the playoffs. LSU is simply a much better team than their record indicates. Penn State's run defense isn't good enough to beat them and LSU's defense can nearly shut down any offense. There's only a handful of teams with the run defense capable of beating LSU, and LSU played nearly all of them.
