CFB: SEC Week 4 Projected Final Scores Revealed
It didn’t take long for the first surprise of the SEC season to take place.
Mississippi State manhandled No. 12 LSU 37-7 in Starkville last week, gaining 463 yards while allowing just 264.
The Bulldogs were 7.5-point home underdog for that game.
They vaulted from unranked in the Associated Press polls to No. 17, but they don’t get much time to celebrate.

MSU travels to No. 11 Georgia in what is now an early season SEC showdown.
Georgia is 2-0 under true freshman QB Jake Fromm, as presumed starter Jacob Eason heals from a sprained knee.
Initially expected to miss 4-6 weeks, Eason is back and practicing this week, but it looks like Fromm will get the starting nod again.

The SEC last week also provided the season’s most-thrilling end to a game -- for Florida fans, at least.
The Gators stunned Tennessee 26-20, winning with a 63-yard TD pass on the game’s final play.
Tennessee gets the opportunity to lick its wounds when it hosts Massachusetts, while Florida travels to upstart Kentucky for a prime time game. The Wildcats haven’t beaten the Gators in 30 years, the longest active streak by one team over another in Division I.
