The noon slate on Saturday features an SEC showdown between two teams dealing with various levels of bad vibes.
The Texas Longhorns (4-1, 1-1 SEC) are coming off their first loss of the season, which came in heartbreaking fashion against archrival Oklahoma in Red River. The Sooners kicked a walk-off field goal after a devastating Arch Manning interception.
They'll hope to get back on track against a team that's having its own problems: the Florida Gators (4-2, 2-2 SEC). Florida is a tough team to figure out. It beat Ole Miss 52-28 but has lost its last two games against Missouri and South Carolina by a combined 83-36 margin.

Texas vs. Florida prediction, pick:
Texas has an elite defense, particularly up front. The bigger problem is the offense, which continues to disappoint. Arch Manning threw two more picks last week, and running the ball behind a suspect offensive line remains a bit tricky.
That could all be set to change against a Gators defense that can't stop a nosebleed right now and is extremely vulnerable in the back end. Florida made up for that with electric offensive play early in the season, but it hasn't been able to run in the last two weeks, and Aaron Philo hasn't been able to challenge downfield against loaded boxes.
Texas may have some vulnerabilities in its secondary, but given how the last two games have played out, I doubt Florida will be able to take advantage. Barring an unforeseen return to form offensively, it's hard to imagine Florida can compete here.
Prediction: Texas 31, Florida 10
Best Bet: Texas -10.5
