Two games are on tap on Thursday, but both are pivotal conference encounters. 16th-ranked Mississippi State will host Alabama in a conference matchup on the SEC Network while a Top 25 showdown is going down in Gainesville.
The South Carolina Gamecocks head down to the Sunshine State to battle with the 10th-ranked Florida Gators. With UF holding a slim lead at the top of the standings, this series may go a long way towards seeing how far the Gators can separate themselves from the teams that are breathing down their necks.
This game will be on ESPNU, and with broad audiences being able to see both games, this could be a very nice showcase for a league that has been terrific this season to say the least.
