College Football Expert Picks: SEC Kickoff Adds Jolt to Weekend

Who will win Auburn vs Kentucky, Tennessee vs South Carolina, Florida State vs Miami and more college football Saturday games?

While the first three weekends of September were a watered-down version of a typical college football Saturday, things ramp up in a key way this week. The SEC joins the fray, kicking off its conference-only schedule for all 14 members, while the Big 12 also begins conference play and the ACC continues with a spate of games that includes the in-state battle of Florida State and No. 12 Miami. Elsewhere, Army travels to Cincinnati for an intriguing top-25 clash in the Group of Five.

After a mixed opening week of picks, SI's college football staff is back to make their predictions for 12 of Saturday's biggest games, including Auburn-Kentucky, Tennessee—South Carolina, Louisville-Pitt and more.

Standings to Date:

Molly Geary: 5–3
Ross Dellenger: 3–5
Pat Forde: 3–5
Michael Shapiro: 3–5
