LSU (+2.5) at Vanderbilt: The Orchard Keeper - the first one, I probably won't remember what happened; it's not always clear why people did what they did; this one might be mostly about mental illness; set in Tennessee
Oklahoma (-5.5) at South Carolina: No Country for Old Men - a haunted man dreams of his father's generation, while terrible things happen around him
Old Mist (+7.5) at Georgia: Blood Meridian - includes the doings of an unspeakably evil character
TAMU (-7.5) at Arkansas: All the Pretty Horses - a beautiful and tragic story set in the Southwest; might just be the best one
Missississississippi State (+8.5) at Florida: Cities of the Plain - the depressing but inevitable conclusion of the story of characters we know
Texas (-12.5) at Kentucky: Child of God - too awful for me to watch
Tennessee (+9.5) at Alabama: The Road - somebody from Tennessee will die; the world might be ending
Missouri (-1.5) at Auburn: The Crossing - somehow the saddest; ends with people crying; despite the more grounded, human-scale nature of the misery, that very smallness--a lack of an overwhelming bleakness or extraordinary foe--makes it a worse thing to live through
