BEST OF THE REST

This weekend’s other top conference games (all times EST)

SOUTH CAROLINA (5-3) AT NO. 19 AT FLORIDA (6-3) When: Noon Saturday Where: Gainesville, Fla.

TV: ESPN

Notes: Two weeks ago these teams seemed pretty far apart. But now, after the Gamecocks survived a shootout at Ole Miss and Florida got trounced by Missouri, this game has suddenly become a battle for third in the SEC East.

NO. 12 KENTUCKY (7-2) AT TENNESSEE (4-5) When: 3:30 p.m. Saturday Where: Knoxville, Tenn.

TV: SEC Network

Notes: With the SEC East title off the table after losing at home to Georgia last weekend, the Wildcats need to be on the lookout for the road upset at Tennessee. Even with the East hopes gone, there’s still a lot left to be played for in Big Blue Nation.

AUBURN (6-3) AT NO. 5 GEORGIA (8-1) When: 7 p.m. Saturday Where: Athens, Ga.

TV: ESPN

Notes: With the East clinched, the Bulldogs must be cautious to avoid a letdown against an Auburn team that hasn’t had the type of year it hoped for. But the Tigers have rebounded in recent weeks, leaving the Bulldogs on high alert to not overlook one of their biggest rivals.
