OK...here we are. Three regular season weekends to go. Missouri has been eliminated from SEC title contention, but (mathematically) everyone else could still win it. The top league teams have these schedules remaining:
GEORGIA (15-6, .714)
vs. Missouri
vs. LSU
at Auburn
Dawgs are going to be tough to catch with 6 easy home games remaining
TEXAS A&M (14-6, .700)
vs. Auburn
at Ole Miss
vs. Mississippi State
Oof...probably the toughest remaining stretch
TEXAS (13-7, .650)
vs. Mississippi State
at Tennessee
vs. Missouri
Horns likely won't catch UGA, but should go at least 6-3 in these games
MISSISSIPPI STATE (13-8, .619)
at Texas
vs. Auburn
at Texas A&M
Oof...possibly as tough as A&M's last three series
AUBURN (12-9, .571)
at Texas A&M
at Mississippi State
vs. Georgia
Dang...right there with A&M and MSU on a difficulty scale
OLE MISS (11-10, .524)
at Arkansas
vs. Texas A&M
at Alabama
OK...everyone except UGA, Texas, and UF (see below) will have a killer finishing stretch
OKLAHOMA (11-10, .524)
vs. Florida
at Arkansas
vs. Tennessee (at Bricktown, for some reason)
OU gets three Jekyl & Hyde teams to finish
FLORIDA (11-10, .524)
at Oklahoma
vs. Kentucky
at LSU
Manageable, but the Gators really needed to win the A&M series
ARKANSAS (11-10, .524)
vs. Ole Miss
vs. Oklahoma
at Kentucky
Also manageable, and Arkansas badly needs 3 series wins
Cuss, discuss, or ignore...your choice. I predict UGA will win the conference outright, Oklahoma will make some noise, and the A&M-MSU-Auburn-Ole Miss rock fight will be a blast to follow the next few weeks.

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31 (NIV)
