who did alabama lose to?
Like LSU and the Egg Bowl. "Wrapped up" is one thing Ole Miss does not have at this point. I don't like declaring a race over in September. Call me crazy, I know.
The SEC won't have 10 teams ranked like they did the first week. But there will be some boosting, and rightfully so. LSU is awfully "manly" up front. Good luck stopping Fournette. I say put 8 in the box and prove Harris can pass. (he cant) Ole Miss is the new number 3 team. Georgia and Nick Chub are also impressive to me.
Mississippi picked up 11 first place votes, which is incorrect. The best part is, September polls don't count in the playoff.
Michigan for the second straight week looked like Bo Schembechler's old team with his old QB as the coach. Yes, UNLV is bad. But when you play a bad team, you stomp them hard.

Michigan has looked like Michigan early in the season. We will see how far they have come with BYU. We will find out about both teams.
Corey Clement for Wisconsin is going to be out 4-6 weeks. I am not sure who is going to step for them. I will catch BTN Live and find out. Wisconsin without a power back is like a car without wheels.
Following the win over Alabama, Ole Miss has a cupcake in Vanderbuilt. If Ole Miss loses to those bums, their win at Alabama was phony and it was overachieving emotion.
I will be watching Arkansas and Texas A&M, not for the South West Conference nostalgia, but because I am hoping to see Arkansas lose again. We should learn more about both teams being a conference game.
Speaking of finding out about teams, the PAC 12 has several ranked teams going against each other.

They're a good team, but we gave them a lot of help and still put the fear of Bear in them before time ran out.
I can just copy and paste last weeks comments about SEC teams that were ranked and should not have been. While I am on the subject, the best division in all of football is not the SEC West, but the Big Ten East. Unranked Michigan steamrolled 22 BYU.
UCLA is as good as it seemed like they would be. They were up 42-14 at the half in Arizona. The hardest games are conference road games. USC is in the same spot and went to the half ahead of Arizona State 35-0. Oregon was humiliated by Utah. Yes, Utah by a score of 62-20. I will have to watch the replay to see what is up.
Michigan should be ranked around 15 right now. I don't know that they jump that high because the media is just as stupid about sports as they are politics.
Mizzou lost to Kentucky - bummer. their offense doesn't seem right
Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech lost too, most other games seem like you would expect - UNLV with 80
For the first time since 2009 and Tim Tebow, Alabama is a dog. To the Dogs.
This game might just come down to a field goal. 2 points is the perfect spread.

you mean Bama is very beatable ?
I would say no. It will take a very good team and the right circumstances to get it done. A bunch of the teams in the SEC East are very beatable.
Hard to say. I'm hearing it both ways from die hard fans. To me, most of it is rooted in the loss, which was about as sloppy a game as Bama could play. This week will tell us if it was one of those games or the beginning of a rocky year of testing. I lean toward the former, but I'm not necessarily in the majority I'm hearing from Tuscaloosa.
The spread and zone read is a fallacy and not having a player that is absolutely physically dominating over the others leads to their situation. When Vernon Adams plays, Oregon will beat most teams. The scheme is a bad scheme.
It also worked with Tim Tebow for the same reason, and Marcus Mariotta. That doesn't work on a level playing field. There has to be a big disadvantage, which is why you largely don't see it in the NFL. If you have a QB that can run, keeping the zone read for when the defensive end crashes is just fine. But it should not be the basis for the offense.

Upset of the week: UT over TCU 38-34
How is Texas Christian winning against Texas an upset? That is like saying Alabama upset UAB. See how I trolled both Texas schools with one take?
The easy money this weekend seems to be Indiana +19 against Ohio State. OSU is good enough to cover, but I can't see it the way things are. The nations leading rusher is not at LSU. It is at Indiana. Jordan Howard picked up where Tevin Coleman left off. And this year, Indiana's QB Nate Sudfeld is not injured like he was last year. I look for a lot of points in this one. Much like the last few when these teams played. I want to say 2013 was 52-49.
Then again, there is no such thing in college football that goes with "easy money" unless you are talking about Baylor and a TCU non-conference schedule.
