Gang, remember the mailbag.
From the “Talks too much” studios, big week on the horizon.

Southeastern ConferenceSEC Asked and Answered
Ole Miss (7-0, 6-0; at LSU, 7:15 p.m.): Is this toughest test for Ole Miss to run the table? We say yes, because going to Death Valley at night – especially this close to Halloween – is begging for some Les Miles voodoo. And how bad is this current run for CBS. Speaking of that…
Mississippi State (6-0, 3-0; at Kentucky, 3:30 p.m.): How big a statement is it for the ascension of the Bulldogs that they are playing Kentucky and CBS picked up the game? The fact that it’s less than a good week and CBS is starving to get the nation’s top-ranked team – your MSU Bulldogs (admit it, even for Johnny Cowbell Ringer, the phrase top-ranked Mississippi State feels a touch strange) – on that it has MSU-UK this weekend. That means, CBS had the ratings-killing blowout that was Alabama-A&M, then MSU-UK and then UGA-Florida. Ouch-standing.
Auburn (5-1, 2-1; vs. South Carolina, 7:30 p.m.): What should Auburn fans hope the Tigers did during the off week? Gus Malzahn has said the timing in the passing game needs work. And we trust in Gus, so yes, it needs work. Here’s hoping, too, that AU offensively watched some film from last year’s run-and-run-and-then-gun approach and gets back to being a power running team.
