It's not an exaggeration to call this a must-win for the Crimson Tide. Fall here and the Tide will be 0-2 to start off SEC play. That's not a typical path to winning the division, much less the conference or national title. UGA has much more of a cushion with it looking a cut above everyone else in the East. Still, the Bulldogs offense didn't look great against Vanderbilt, which has far and away the best defense they've seen so far. They have something to prove here too, beyond just the résumé boost that comes with beating the Tide.

This game was supposed to be about which breakout team was breaking out more. Instead, it's about who can salvage something during a disappointing season.

This is a true road game at MTSU, but it's being played in a small stadium in the greater Nashville area. It shouldn't seem too foreign.

MSU had a near-miss with LSU in its last SEC road game, while A&M is looking for another win over a solid, if unspectacular, opponent.

This should push UK to 4-1, which is never a bad spot to be for the Wildcats.
