2007 SEC Championship Game, LSU vs Tennessee, Prediction

Posted on 27 November 2007 by Ethan Jaynes

LSU Bayou Bengals vs. Tennessee Vols. You can talk about LSU’s loss to Arkansas. You can talk about how you think Georgia is playing better than Tennessee. You can do all of that, but that does not change the fact that these are the two teams that won their divisions of the SEC. They will be in the conference championship game. This is the best conference, and these two tweams made it through on top. I have the utmost repect for the SEC this year, therefore I have the utmost respect for these teams.Tennessee is playing great football. Cutcliffe and Ainge are on the same page. Cutcliffe is laughing at Ole Miss while he molds this future NFL QB. Fulmer is always at the center of controversy, but he has rounded up his troops. This team is buying whatever it is he is selling. Please do not discredit this team. They won the SEC East. The SEC East was the strongest it has been in a long time, if not forever. Vandy was good. J

LSU was the number one team in the nation last week. I know I picked them to lose, but that was because I thought Les Miles lucky streak was up. It was up. He rolled the dice one too many times. He has some of the best talent in America and I do not think he has to take so many risks. They were regarded as the best team in all of the NCAA, and losing to Dmac’s running Hogs does not change that in my eyes. Arkansas is going to a bowl and ended the regular season 8-4. Both of LSU’s losses came in triple overtime.

I pick LSU to win, but it will not be pretty. Fulmer’s men are of one mind. They are the 2007 SEC East champs, and that means something special this year. Please do not forget that. LSU is the better team though. Glen Dorsey will have something to say about this win. I can guarantee it.

    georgia should be in the SEC championship not tennessee but i have to go for a team it would be LSU all the way no matter what

  2. R. K Says:

    Tennessee is going to win this game. Fulmer lost early but built his team. They’re gonna come out and be prepared for LSU. It’s gonna be a repeat of last year’s UT vs. Cal game. Tennessee is gonna prove the nation wrong!!

  3. woody Says:

    If Georgia had beat Tennessee, then they would be in the championship, but they didn’t so they aren’t!

  4. Jeff Says:

    Woody is SPOT ON!!!!!!!

  5. robby Says:

    To the georgia fan…..what was the score of the Tennessee Georgia game….thought so….

  6. Big Dawg Says:

    Tennessee will be beat like a drum by LSU! They won’t even be competitive and it will be an embarrassment to the SEC on National TV. It may be just enough for them to finally fire Fulmer. To RK, Woody, Jeff and Robby must be nice to be so delusional. Georgia is ranked 4th in the BCS poll and where’s Tennessee? 14th! ….. thought so….enough said!

  7. Smokey Says:

    All you dawgs out there remember October 6, 2007. We opened a can on you and we will do the same Saturday night in hot Atlanta. Mark Richt can only hope to someday be the coach Phil is. He owns you. When we bring the SEC championship back to Knoxville we will look back at all the sweetest moments that made it happen. Probable one of the sweetest will be the win over Georgia . Final score UT 35 GA 14.

  8. Smokey Says:

    Bring it on LSU, bring it on. Together we will win. Go
    Big Orange. It is great to be a TN Vol. It is TIME.

  9. secfan Says:

    All we can do is look at the past….THere is not ONE game that tennesse won save maybe 2 that they were PREDICTED to loose. It seems the more people that dont buy into the whole UT thing the better. This team as been riddle with its share of controversey, and i think it would be nice if they YET again surprise the nation with a big FU….Pound for pound LSU is a better team. But in college football….its who wants it more…..

  10. Big Dawg Says:

    The reason the Dawgs lost on October 6, 2007 is that they were laughing so hard at your game against Florida…remember September 15, 2007 when they whipped you like a bunch of girls. Final score Florida 59 VOLS 20. That’s exactly what’s going to happen December 1, 2007 when LSU is finished with Tennessee….mark that one on your calender! Great way for the VOLS to spend their winter crying over the butt kicking LSU puts on them!

  11. Big Dawg Says:

    All you Tennessee fans must be proud that secfan represents you. He types and communicates as if he was a graduate of UT!

  12. Big Dawg Says:

    Seriuosly Smokey….”Probable”? Honor graduate from UT?

  13. Big Dawg Says:

    The humor is Smokey thinks I spelled seriously correctly!

  14. Smokey Says:

    The humor is the fact your Georgia Bulldogs are not representing the SEC east, can you tell me Big Dawg who is??????????

  15. Smokey Says:

    You see Big Dawg, when it comes down to it. We may misspell a few words here and there. We may lose some games by big margins. We may also win some games were not suppose to win. But the bottom line is down on old Rocky Top we own the 2007 SEC eastern division title. Go ahead and admit it, were just good folks who play a
    tougher schedule and yes I am a graduate from UTK. We do not care to much about spelling, we just love our football team. I am going to sign off. I have busy weekend planned. You may not be interested but I am going to Atlanta. When your team wins the Eastern division you can go!!!!

  16. UGAisSMOKEYSB**** Says:

    UGA fans are funny as ****. Even funnier than that Go dawgs sick em ruff ruff chant they have before kickoffs. I can understand thier frustration. Outside of VANDY they have the worst stadium in the SEC, their girls wear black to evey game because THEY CANT WEAR WHITE, and they got that bulldog *** tanned two years running. They still talk after getting half a hundred dropped on the at home in 06, and dominated in K town in 07. BANDWAGON FANS. We didnt hear any talk until Tebow was hurt and you got by FLorida, and Kurt Herbstreit talked UGA up until your heads were as big as the scored differential of the UT-UGA game the last two years. THATS HUGE. Contgrats on that. In the end TN is heading down I-75 to play for a championship in your back yard. And the best freshmen in the country is making the trip to. Ohh yeah he is a GA native. Now thats funny.

  17. Lady Vol Says:

    Tennessee Vols…SEC East Champs…enough said. Boo-hoo-hoo to the rest of you on here whining about who won this game and lost that one. Stop making excuses. So, one more time for those of you who missed it when I said it the first time…SEC EAST CHAMPS!!!! Deal with it! You’ll be dealing with us being the SEC Champions Dec. 1st…mark it on your calendar!

  18. UT Gal Says:

    That’s right, Lady Vol! December 1st it’s going down! I visited Atlanta for a concert last week and could not believe how much the announcers on a sports talkshow whined about GA. This is our year! It’s time the VOLS show everyone else who’s boss! Go, Vols, go!

  19. COUNTRY GAL Says:

    ALL I GOT TO SAY IS GOOOOO TIGERS!!!!!!! LSU WILL SEND TENNESSEE HOME CRYING IN THERE LITTLE ORANGE PANTIES!

  20. UT Fan12 Says:

    Goodness. What is wrong with everyone? You know, TN and GA might have a rivalry, but they still represent the same conference in the same division. Bowl projections say that GA will go to the Rose Bowl. I hope they do go to the Rose Bowl. I also hope that they put a beating on USC and represent the SEC well. I personally think TN will beat LSU, just because LSU’s defense is banged up and I think TN wins in a shootout. If this is so, I hope TN goes to the Sugar Bowl and beats up on Hawaii. I think we need to prove to the nation that we’re the best conference. That’s the most important key. No one believes that anymore, because everyone in the SEC at least has 2 losses. They don’t realize that they lost to other teams in the SEC. Go Vols first, but Go SEC second. Good luck GA, wherever you end up. Go Vols!

  21. HenryJ Says:

    LSU has coaching problems and controversies. I say Tennessee

  22. UGA Fan living in MS Says:

    Alright, Alright…. enough about the UGA TENN score… Yeah Tennessee handed it too us, but that was a while back, and heck, we’re sitting pretty at #4 in the nation right now so I don’t really care… Would i like to be in Atlanta having the chance to beat up on some cajuns, sure! But I have to pull for Tenn on this one, so LSU will be sure not to sneak up on us in the BCS rankings, because I know Tenn wont move up that much! Wouldn’t hurt my feelings if Missouri, and West Virgina lose too! Then all of the UGA Bulldog nation would be signing Glory Glory to ol Georgia!!!

  23. Mark Says:

    Hey big dawg, rankings don’t mean anything to someone
    who knows anything about football. Georgia may be ahead of Tennessee in the rankings, big deal. We whipped the Dawgees little butts this year just like we have the majority of the last FIFTEEN years!

  24. UT Frisbeedog Says:

    We own!!! Tennessee is going to kick ***!! Sorry Georgia but you are just going to have to watch the game from your Lazy Boys. Even the poll at the top of the page has us winning. Swweeeettt!!

  25. Liz Says:

    Hey Caleb-Georgia SHOULD NOT be in the SEC championship game. They lost two SEC games too-one to Tennessee. By the rules Tennessee should be in it all the way.

    Go Vols! Time to take another trip down to New Orleans! Tennessee OWNS Louisiana-from Andrew Jackson in 1814 to now!

  26. Cuntry Dude Says:

    wat time is the game?

  27. mike Says:

    LSU will win this game

  28. jsg10 Says:

    what time and date is the game on?

  29. Ethanator1088 Says:

    http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/schedules?groupId=8

    4pm Eastern, Saturday, Dec. 1st on CBS .

  30. dean oleary Says:

    Lennon Creer of Tennessee is one of the most explosive running backs in the country but noone really knows it yet. With Hardesty injured, Creer and Arian Foster, along with Ainge’s passing arm will be one huge key to the SEC showdown. Tennessee’s calculated defensive staying power will be the other. Ainge and Company will need 400 total yards to win plus two field goals by DAniel LIncoln.But they must hold the Tigers to under 28 points. Turnovers will be critical!

  31. dean oleary Says:

    Whether LSU has really recovered from the ARkansas loss remains to be seen.

  32. BobbyG Says:

    Go, Vols!

  33. TD Says:

    LSU will kick Tennessee’s butt. Tennessee isn’t good enough to stop LSU’s backfield Hester can break every tackle they throw at him. Plus Chad Jones will change Ainge’s 3 season sacks to 10
    oh and by the way Jones is a freshman!!!!!

    You can talk some serious smack in the forums, read about your team, and join a group of fans.

    The forums are free and fun.

  35. Roll Tide Says:

    This should be a easy win for LSU. The litle orange does not stand a chance. Hey all u vols fans, dont forget that you guys may be playing today but dont forget the score of that Bama and tenenssee game!! ROLL TIDE!!

  36. Amber Says:

    See thing is you all like to talk alot of crap. Whether LSU or TENN wins the both are good teams and it’s not necessarily who is better… it’s who wants this CHAMPIONSHIP bad enough.

    Yes they both want it bad! …but!!! Who’s going to dedicate themselves to the gam and not their ego?… LSU is the sh*t & they gonna give TENN a run for their money… trust that!

  37. volfanalltheway Says:

    You know….why are the georgia people even trying to take up for their team? it’s pointless…they aren’t in the game so why even say a bunch of bull like “the dawgs were laughing at the Tenn. vs. Fla. game”? the fact is that Georgia didn’t come to play, and that mindset has been seen throughout most of their career!

    Tenn. may be the underdog…but hey, the underdog is usually the one that kicks butt cuz the other team aint expectin it!

  38. Ethanator1088 Says:

    Final result of the poll.

    Who will win the SEC Championship game between LSU and Tennessee?
    LSU 28% (252 votes)
    Tennessee 72% (650 votes)
    Total Votes: 902

  39. Tammy Says:

    Well it is over now. LSU wins and they are the SEC Champions. But was it just me or was that a boring game compared to the other games this year. SO LSU will be in Sugar Bowl against Hawaii?

    No matter which SEC team you root for you have got to admit this year has been a great ride with some awesome games. Sorry to see it coming to an end..How many days til next September.

    Wish all the SEC teams the best of luck in respective bowls games. Congrads to LSU..

    Go win the Sugar Bowl…

    Oh and by the way GO Dawgs which ever bowl we go to I will be yelling til the end!

  40. hhhhhhhhh Says:

    Vols will lose!

  41. Ethanator1088 Says:

    LSU wins 21-14. Dorsey was out most of the game and Flynn did not play all. Ryan Perrilloux had a bad cut on the index of his throwing hand. LSU still pulled it out. Great job LSU. Please do not discredit Tennessee. They brought the helmet. LSU players were dropping all over the place. That was a great game.

  42. TD Says:

    Hey Tennessee fans!

    How do you like Zenon!!!!

    LSU-21
    Tennessee-14

    GEAUX TIGERS!!!!!!

  43. TD Says:

    Les Miles will stay at LSU I know because I live in Baton Rouge and a friend of mine dated his daughter.

    And they said it at the game!

  44. TD Says:

    Hey all you Dawg fans I think you will be in the
    Orange Bowl!!

    I am an LSU fan and a Georgia fan.

    LSU will probably be in the Sugar Bowl against Hawaii.

  45. TD Says:

    Tennessee will probably be in the Chik-fil-a bowl or the Capitol One bowl.

    What’s in your wallet??

  46. Englander Says:

    Big Dog, go to @#$% you little ***. Georgia being #4 shows the flaws w/ the BCS. We made you our @#$* and they still kept you up there. You should’ve lost to Vandy but you still up there with the other jokes like Mizzou and Kansas. Georgia is the most overrated team in America. You don’t deserve to be in the SEC championship led alone the National Championship. The Vols would dominate your #$% any day son. You little Georgia ^$%s wanna talk all this trash, well we handled our business with you on the field. What now?

  47. Lady Vol Says:

    Yeah, yeah, yeah! We lost the game…but to all of the Florida and Georgia AND Bama crybabies on here…AT LEAST WE WERE THERE! You guys did nothing but sit at home and talk about how you should’ve been there. Both teams played well…I can’t say anything bad about LSU. They are a good team, even without their starting QB and an injured Dorsey and Perriloux. My boys played a good game…props to Rico McCoy…he’s awesome!

  48. UGA Fan living in MS Says:

    Well, Congrats to all you Vols fans; glad yall got to go to the SEC and then completely screw it up to your great QB Ainge. What a guy huh? Once again, UGA siting pretty, at least a lot prettier than UT…
