SEC score predictions: Expert picks against the spread for Week 11 college football games

The SEC will continue to provide pivotal matchups to both the conference and College Football Playoff races in Week 11, none bigger than No. 2 Georgia vs. No. 9 Ole Miss.

Kirby Smart's Bulldogs (9-0, 6-0 in SEC play) will look to extend its 26-game unbeaten streak against Lane Kiffin's Rebels team (8-1, 6-1 SEC). Ole Miss is seeking not only to eclipse the school record for most wins in a season (10), but also has an outside chance at making the SEC championship game and, potentially, the CFP.

The Rebels will have a massive supporter in Week 11 in the form of No. 13 Tennessee (7-2, 3-2 SEC), which can still make the SEC championship game despite being eliminated from the CFP race. If the Rebels beat Georgia on Saturday and the Vols win out vs. No. 14 Missouri (7-2, 3-2 SEC), Georgia and Vanderbilt (2-8, 0-6) then they will represent the East division in Atlanta.

Elsewhere, No. 19 LSU will look to bounce back from its loss to No. 8 Alabama against Florida, though the status of quarterback Jayden Daniels remains in flux, while the Crimson Tide can clinch the SEC West with a win over Kentucky. The Week 11 schedule will round out with Mississippi State at Texas A&M, Vanderbilt at South Carolina and Auburn at Arkansas.
