Blogle’s SEC Picks, 2026 Edition: Week 5

We got back on track last week and we’re barreling toward the best season of picks in a good long while. That’s not a jinx at all.

Aside from LSU and three others taking the week off, we have an almost all SEC-on-SEC slate. Now it’s getting fun.

This Week: 0-0 | Last Week: 10-1 | Season: 51-6 | Locks: 3-1

😴 SHOULD BE OVER EARLY – If this is close in the fourth quarter, somebody’s fired.

👀 KEEP AN EYE ON ‘EM – Predictable, but there’s a chance.

Kentucky at South Carolina (3:15 PM, SEC) — The Cats shouldn’t be ranked.
Cocks 28-24

Arkansas at Texas A&M (6 PM, ESPN2) — A bad team meets a mediocre team.
Aggies 31-21

🍿 WORTH WATCHING – Actual football games between actual football teams.

Alabama at Mississippi State (11 AM, ABC) — A no-win situation. Just kill the hype, Alabama.
Tahd 40-28

Florida at Missouri (2:30 PM, ABC) — We want the Gators to be good the rest of the season, but I’m feeling a little bit of let down.
Gators 34-27

🏆 GAME OF THE WEEK – (it’s always the Auburn game)

Auburn at Tennessee (2:30 PM, ESPN) — Not scared of Tennessee, but just have road jitters.
Tigers 34-30

📺 BEYOND THE SEC – I guess they play football elsewhere.

Ohio State at Iowa (2:30 PM, CBS) — Just go ahead and the boring, Ohio State
Buckeyes 42-10

Miami at Clemson (6:30 PM, ABC) — Hurricanes aren’t as good as they look. Tigers aren’t as bad as they look.
Canes 31-21
