WOOLARD'S WEEKEND WINNERS® FOR WEEK NINE.

We have a pretty entertaining slate of games this weekend including the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party in Jacksonville along with a rematch of two of the most historic football programs in America, Notre Dame and Oklahoma in Norman.

We've got another line-up of money winners including two upset specials so let's get crackin'...

Here are your winning picks:

No under-age drinking allowed.

#2 Florida vs #10 Georgia...it's the World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party version 2012 featuring two teams seeking control of the SEC East. If the favored Gators win, book em for Atlanta in December. UGA beat the Gators last season 24-20, only the Bulldogs' third win in the last 14 meetings. The talk around Atlanta has been that Coach Richt really needs this win to validate this year's team. A loss just reinforces the thought that this team is a lot of talk at the beginning of each season only to fizzle when they face tough competition (see the South Carolina meltdown). We see Mushchamp's Gators grinding out a pretty exciting win with their strong running game and QB Driskell's steady hand in Jacksonville. It could be a wet one thanks to Hurricane Sandy.

Dead man walking?

Tennessee vs #13 South Carolina...I'm afraid that this could be Coach Orange Pant's swan song as the struggling Volunteers head to Columbia for a high noon showdown. A loss pretty much seals the deal for Dooley who is still looking for his team to play a solid 60 minutes...and still looking for a conference win. They've lost 11 of their last 12 SEC games going back to last season. Meanwhile the Gamecocks are ready to rinse the bad taste of the past two weeks out of their beaks after being plucked by LSU and Florida. On paper, Tennessee has superior numbers in terms of total offense, rushing yards, passing yards, and scoring. Too bad this game is not being played on paper. Cocks spur-kill the Vols.

#11 Mississippi State vs #1 Alabama...this game features two of the top quarterbacks in the SEC, Tyler Wilson and AJ McCarron who has the nation's highest  passer rating with 16 touchdowns and no INTs in his last 239 attempts. Wilson has 15 TDs against only one INT. MSU is off to its best start since 1999, and has the third longest winning streak (9) in the nation.  UPSET Special: we like Mullen's Mutts and the points (24) over Bama.

#20 Texas A&M vs Auburn...I kinda feel sorry for the tiger/war eagles/plainsmen/dying oaks but not really since I'm really looking forward to seeing what Aggie Johnny Football can do against a rather soft Auburn defense. Auburn fans are clamoring for Chizik's scalp but he's going no where at least for the foreseeable future. That's what winning a national championship gets you (see Phillip Fulmer). Auburn is off to its worst start in 60 years and things aint gonna get better for them. We like the Aggies in this one.

#14 Texas Tech vs #3 Kansas State...this is another game that features two of America's top quarterbacks and probable Heisman finalists, KSU's Collin Klein and Red Raider Seth Doege. Last week on the road at West Virginia, Klein put up a career high 323 passing yards in a 19 of 21 effort, and adding 4 rushing TDs to boot. On a side note, KSU is tied for the FBS lead in fewest penalties per game. That's discipline; that's Coach Bill Snyder. We see Klein having another big game as the Wildcats go 8-0 in 13 seasons.

Brigham Young vs Georgia Tech...the question is not which team will win but if anyone shows up.  I can't imagine too many BYU fans being there unless they decide to sit with the greeks after a big kegger party. Anyway, there is hope for Johnson's Jackets as they rebounded nicely against Boston College last week. BYU is ranked 100th in turn-overs so look for the Bees to swarm the ball, especially as they try to contain QB Riley Nelson who is just as dangerous running the ball. If GT executes their triple option like they know how, we see the Engineers winning on the Flats.

#22 Michigan @ Nebraska...the Wolverines invade Lincoln looking to extend their Big Ten record to 4-0. In their three conference wins they have given up only 23 combined points. This much improved defense will have its hands full trying to contain dual-threat Husker QB Taylor Martinez and running backs, Burkhead and Abdullah. UPSET Special: Maize and Blue over Big Red.

And GEORGE THE CAT'S BIG PICK of the WEEK® featuring Notre Dame @ Oklahoma...

The Irish have won 8 of 9 all-time meetings with Oklahoma and have not lost to the Sooners since 1953. Their last visit to Norman was a 38-0 rout on its way to a national title in 1966. The Sooners are 79-4 at home under Bob Stoops, who has led Oklahoma to 13 straight bowl games, including 8 BCS contests and one national title. This game has national championship ramifications written all over it.  Let's see who George the Cat likes in this game.  Roll tape please...
