Right, it’s been a mad week in College Football – so much so that we’re going to rank our Top 14 straight away.

Without further ado, here’s where we are:

1) Alabama – Rolled to a 28-point lead over Missouri until the rains came. Then looked really scrappy, but the Tide dealt with the tests. And news just in: Eddie Lacy’s a beast. And so is that defensive line.

2) Florida – It wasn’t pretty against Vanderbilt, but it was effective. Jeff Driskell’s beginning to (whisper) remind people of (whisper) Tim Tebow. Oh, and that defense is as good as we thought they were. We’ll see how good the offensive line is against South Carolina. That game’s going to be a war in Gainseville.

3) LSU – That atmosphere in Tiger Stadium on Saturday night. My God. That atmosphere. Oh, and the offensive line and running game was HUGE, even if Zach Mettenberger really wasn’t. He made some nice throws though. And some awful ones.

4) South Carolina – Came to play in Tiger Stadium, but they couldn’t deal with the Bayou Bengals. Were they intimidated? Can you possibly say: Maybe??

5) Georgia – There is a half of a tree in the SEC, and the Bulldogs are on the bottom rung of the top half.

6) Mississippi State – A bit of drama in their win over Tennessee in Cowbell Central, but this is the first victory for Dan Mullen over team which isn’t that awful this season. Tyler Russell’s a solid QB, people. We can’t wait for the showdown with Alabama.

7) Texas A&M – We love Johnny Manziel. We’re not so convinced by the Aggies defense. Especially after last night, when they gave up 57 to Louisiana Tech. But they scored 59 – and that’s what matters.

8) Ole Miss – Great win by Ole Miss to get the monkey off their back and break a 16-game losing streak. And yes, we know it was Auburn, but did the Grove get rolled?

9) Vanderbilt – Played well against Florida – especially during the first quarter – but James Franklin’s side still lacked the edge to take Vandy to where they’ll be relevant this year. Still, Tennessee had better not sleep on the Commodores (if that’s a compliment).

10) Tennessee – We love the offense (they have a lot of it), but we loathe the defense (they have none). Which is why they couldn’t cause the upset in Starkville on Saturday night – even though they had the Bulldogs close.

11) Arkansas – We’ll go as far as saying we think a Razorbacks- Tennessee match-up would be like watching a Big XII game. Little defense, plenty of octane. The Hogs humiliated Kentucky for three quarters, before God intervened and got the game called off.

12) Missouri – Horrific weather conditions made you sorry for the student support which stuck around to watch the Tigers get put into their cage by the Crimson Tide. Still, they helped Verne & Gary be their sarcastic best.

13) Auburn – This team is awful.

14) Kentucky – This team is even worse than Auburn. And that’s saying something.

If there’s a pot, Steve Spurrier will be there to stir it. This week, Steve Spurrier hammered Georgia (both with mouth and with team), and hammered Clemson (“My boys haven’t been to Death Valley before“, he opined on the radio). This week, he’s going to hell. Quite possibly to prepare him for the afterlife, Clemson fans might say.

Anyways, here’s an excerpt from a poem that our boy Alfred, Lord Tennyson prepared for South Carolina’s trip to Death Valley, Baton Rouge:

“Half a league, half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.
“Forward, the Light Brigade!
“Charge for the guns!” he said:
Into the valley of Death
Rode the six hundred.”

You should read the rest. It’s a beauty. No mention of Marcus Lattimore, Jadeveon Clowney and THAT defensive line, though. Maybe it’s because it was written in 1870.

Good job we’re mentioning something, eh?

SOUTH CAROLINA AT LSU

If there’s anytime South Carolina should want to play LSU, it’s now. Why? While the Gamecocks are at full strength and at full plumage for this one, LSU is struggling with injuries, with it’s offensive line almost completely decimated. Zach Mettenberger’s going to struggle against USC’s now legendary pass rushing pair of Taylor and Clowney. On the other side of the ball, LSU should be able to stop Marcus Lattimore, but will they be able to stop speedy QB Connor Shaw?

PREDICTION: South Carolina silences the Valley Of Death, winning by 7.

ALABAMA AT MISSOURI

Some games in Missouri’s history are going to be close nail-biters. The Tigers fans have seen their team beaten two No.1s in Columbia in the form of Ohio State and Oklahoma in the past, but this Alabama team is much better than these sides were. Expect to see AJ McCarron to throw the ball a bit- mainly because Mizzou’s got a pretty strong rushing defence (19th in the nation), but a mediocre passing one (51st). Oh, and we expect Alabama’s defense to be, well, Alabama’s defense.

PREDICTION: Alabama’s a three-touchdown favorite in this. We have Missouri losing the game, but only by 17.

TENNESSEE AT MISSISSIPPI STATE

The Vols scored a boatload of points against Georgia and still lost, but will they be able to do the same against a stout MSU defence in a very loud, annoying (for Vols fans) environment (if you hate Cowbells, don’t watch this game!)? While we think that Tyler Bray and his passing offense can run with almost anyone in the country, we’re still concerned about the ‘D’, which Tyler Russell, Chad Bumphis, and LaDarius Perkins are going to exploit all day long. The biggest question will be this: Can Mississippi State handle a shoot-out? We know Tennessee can.

PREDICTION: Tennessee wins by a touchdown in the SEC upset of the day.

AUBURN AT OLE MISS

For sheer traincrashability, y’all should be watching this game. After Auburn’s tepid performance at home to Arkansas, Gene Chizik should be packing his bags now…..if you believe a lot of the Auburn War Eagle Mongers on there. Personally, Chizik’s on the hot seat, but we don’t think he should be out of a job just yet – he’s only a year removed from a National Championship and needs more time post-Cam Newton. Anyway, we can’t believe the Tigers are a six-point dog on the road to Ole Miss, particularly as Ole Miss’ record of losing in the SEC is up to 16. Having said that, Hugh Freeze has got his team moving in the right direction……Heaven’s direction. Upwards. There are just some bumps on the way.

PREDICTION: Ole Miss by damn! Rebels win by a touchdown. The rage in Auburn goes on.

KENTUCKY AT ARKANSAS

This SEC Bottom 5 battle features one of the country’s worst defences playing one of the country’s most injured offences. This should be a blast. Kentucky can’t get any luck, while favorite Arkansas have a bit of ju-ju going into this game after smothering Auburn on the road in Jordan-Hare. Stubhub tells me that tickets for this game are going to be going cheap, so if you’re in the area and want to go to a game, good seats for this Mighty Match-Up are going for about $20.

PREDICTION: Arkansas wins by 21 in an exciting game, and people start getting a (little) excited again.

FLORIDA AT VANDERBILT

After its third second-half win of the season, the Florida Gators are turning into the Anti-Texas A&M (those Aggies who watched games in 2011 will be able to explain to the uneducated). Mike Gillislee is going to exploit Vanderbilt’s 80th-ranked rushing defence, while Jordan Rodgers on the other side of the ball will hope for some room against a suffocating Florida team, for whom Matt Elam’s proving to be a leader.

PREDICTION: Gators chomp. Florida by 10

TEXAS A&M AT LOUISIANA TECH

This hurricane-delayed game features two ranked teams, two great offenses, and what is going to be a heck of a lot of excitement. Louisiana Tech, which is scoring 54 points per game and conceding very little, comes against and Aggies side who have got – quite simply – Johnny Football, even if they weren’t exactly convincing at Ole Miss. This is going to be fun.

PREDICTION: It won’t be an upset if this happens, but it won’t be good for the SEC, either. Louisiana Tech wins by 6.

After hammering y’all with country music, we decided to chill out a little bit for the soundtrack to the next load of rankings – it’s a dance track called ‘Lazy’. If you don’t enjoy it, sorry.

Anyway, with this in mind, here’s our SEC Power Rankings After Week 6, where there’s been more than a little change.

1) Alabama – Nick Saban is all-powerful – so much so that HE WANTS NO HUDDLE OFFENSES STOPPED. So is this Alabama program at the moment. The question: How would they do against an Oregon or West Virginia? Quite well, we think…

2) South Carolina – I thought Florida was the pick of the SEC East until I saw South Carolina demolish Georgia on Saturday night. The defensive front is frightening, and Connor Shaw, Marcus Lattimore etc aren’t bad on the other side of the ball, either.

3) Florida – Beat LSU in a defensive war. Mike Gillislee is (again) the King of the Crocs. Be afraid of this team, SECers – particularly in the second half of games.

4) Mississippi State – Wasn’t spectacular against Kentucky, but it got the job done. Dan Mullen’s program remains unbeaten (which King Cowbell is above LSU and Georgia in the power rankings).

5) LSU – Injured. Hurt. Dropping catches. Lacking leadership. This Tigers program is hurting, folks, and hurting badly. Will it be able to pick itself for the visit of South Carolina on Saturday? It had better do!

6) Georgia – Wow. We haven’t seen Georgia play as badly as they did at Williams-Brice in years. Mark Richt’s trying to steady the ship, but aren’t the holes already there? Thoughts are out to Aaron Murray, who’s father was diagnosed with cancer last week.

7)  Texas A&M – Great comeback win at Ole Miss. Either shows how far Ole Miss has come, or how far the Aggies still have to go. But Kevin Sumlin’s giving the fanbase something to be excited about – and that’s great. Not that the Yell Leaders need anymore excitement, mind.

8) Tennessee – Still a lot of fun to watch: Tennessee’s offense. Still not a lot of fun to watch: Tennessee’s defense.

9) Ole Miss – Fought the Aggies tooth and claw, and SHOULD have come away with their first SEC victory in eons. However, this is Ole Miss, and everything’s done the hard way. But still, Ole Miss is improving and this is good to see.

10) Arkansas – Great win at Auburn to get the Razorbacks out of the basement and John L. Smith out of the line of fire (for one week, anyway). Still, we’d like to put an APB out for Knile Davis. Knile? Where are you?

11)  Vanderbilt – A win over Missouri propels up the SEC Basement – and it’s a good win for James Franklin, who needs every win he can get.

12) Missouri – Gary Pinkel’s been unlucky this year with injuries, but there is still the question that reverberates around our head: Is Missouri really ready for the SEC?

13) Auburn – Because after Saturday’s horrific performance against Arkansas, we think that Auburn would lose to Mizzou. And that Gene Chizik might be looking for another job.

14) Kentucky – Because this is a team that Auburn might actually beat. But the game would have to be Jordan-Hare and there would have to be the same injury problems as there are currently.

Wow. On ‘Moving Day’ in the SEC, the elevator up took South Carolina and Florida, and on the way down it took Georgia, LSU, and Auburn as it fell.

Anyway, here’s some 10 points about Week 10 in the SEC.

And the music we’re going to bring with it is Brad Paisley’s ‘Southern Comfort Zone’. If you love your NASCAR, you’ll love some of the noises at the start.

1) South Carolina absolutely crucified Georgia. It wasn’t the scoreline (35-7) that astonished us, but it was the brutish manner that the Gamecocks did it in one of the noisiest arenas in the SEC. Jadeveon Clowney and Devin Taylor humiliated Georgia’s offensive line, limited Aaron Murray to 11-31 for just 109 yards and swallowed the Bulldogs’ running game for just 115 yards. Meanwhile, Connor Shaw threw for 162 yards and 2 TDs, and Marcus Lattimore had another 109 yards and a TD. Carolina looks (one) of the picks of the SEC East.

2) The (other) pick of the SEC East is Florida, which had another terrific second-half to turn over LSU in The Swamp. Mike Gillislee once against proved to be the difference-maker for the Gators, running for 164 yards and two second half touchdowns, who limited LSU to NO points in the second half (and no touchdowns in the whole game), crushing their opponents with brutal and brilliant defensive schemes. No wonder Muschamp’s so missed at Texas – particularly with the Longhorns performance against West Virginia. Points for the dive too, Will.

3) But we’ve got to ask questions about LSU. No team in the SEC – maybe except for Kentucky – could be as unlucky with injuries at the moment. If LSU had an offensive line that didn’t spend half of its time in the locker room in agony, or both of its chief linebackers out at the start of the second half, would the Gators really have beaten them? We don’t know, but they could have done with some luck. That and Zach Mettenberger throwing properly and his wide receivers being able to catch and not commit major turnovers. Les Miles will be hoping that this is the kick-up-the-behind the program needs for South Carolina on Saturday. He’s hoping, anyway.

4) Ha, ha, ha…..Auburn. Wow. Auburn. There’s not a lot else you can say. Wow. They lost to……Arkansas? Their offense was held inept by one of the country’s most inept defences? Forget John. L. Smith…..Could anything get worse for Gene Chizik now? It has become abundantly clear that there IS no answer at quarterback – both Kiehl “Incompetent” Frazier and Clint “Inept” Moseley can’t do it, and there’s no running game.

5) As for Arkansas, congrats to Smith for righting the ship a bit after the week he had, after it was exposed that some bad investments had left him tens of millions in the red. The Hogs needed a win, and they got it. And at this stage, it doesn’t matter how poverty-stricken the opposition was.

6) Amazing finish, usual outcome. Yep, Ole Miss lost another SEC game, except this one was in heart-breaking fashion. When Texas A&M was driving towards the end of the game, you just knew that Johnny Football would bring home the victory, and bring home the victory he did. But Ole Miss battled the Aggies every inch of the way. And Hugh Freeze, who spoke about ‘finishing’ after it, was right…..Ole Miss just needs to believe a bit more. Still, the Rebels aren’t the worst team in the SEC West by any strength of the imagination this year.

7) Sorry. This Texas A&M actually plays in the second half? Welcome to the SEC, Aggies brothers! Can you PLEASE GET SOME FEMALE CHEERLEADERS now?! You’re letting the conference down!

8) If one side’s having a dream start to its SEC career, the other one’s having a nightmare. The SEC win-less Missouri can’t seem to get any luck at quarterback (remind us never to predict that things will get better on that level!), although now Berkstresser looks the man for the job. But let’s be honest, losing to Vanderbilt doesn’t exactly bode well for the rest of the season, does it?

9) But let’s give a bit of love to James Franklin, coach of Vanderbilt. If there’s any side that needed that victory, it was his Commodores – particularly after people’s loving predictions before the season started.

10) Another week, another win for Mississippi State. The 27-14 win over Kentucky might not have been as resounding as the bookies some people would have liked, but Kentucky has shown that it’s a different animal at home, and it’s not going away quietly. Oh, and the injury-ravaged Wildcats lost another bunch of players on Saturday night. Just check out this game report. The word ‘injured’ and ‘sprained’ seems to come up every 2 seconds!

Regardless of how the SEC is standing this year, Saturday is ‘Moving Day’ In the SEC, where we’ll see actually how good the four of the top five SEC teams are….when they play each other.

The CBS game – which must infuriate all fans looking for the all-day Gator get-together/bender in Gainseville, is showing Florida entertaining LSU, while on Saturday night Georgia visits South Carolina and their Dawg Nation’s vaunted enemy, Steve Spurrier.

It’s going to be a great weekend, folks…….let’s enjoy the ride.

LSU vs Florida

This game always stands out on the calendar, and many can see why: It’s usually a good one. Our favorite part from recent years was back in 2010, when a fake field goal with 11 seconds left won in for the Tigers. It was a moment of pure YouTube-able madness. But this year, LSU fans have been driven mad by the struggles of Les Miles and his merry men. In the last three games, they’ve been mistake-ridden, and it was all compounded in Saturday’s Towson game when they only won 38-22 – an upset in itself. And to make matters worse for LSU, their primo quarterback, Zach Mettenberger, can’t hold a concrete block. Anyway, the Tigers are rolling into The Swamp, where the Florida Gators are on a high at the moment. The underdog Gators recovered from two half-time deficits to win on the road at Tennessee and Texas A&M, and while the offense still has to fire on all cylinders, we like the improvement in QB Jeff Driskel. Oh, and the defense can play with anybody – they’ll just have to deal with LSU’s rushers.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Gators roar (excuse the mixed soliloquy) in Gainseville. Florida wins by a field goal.

Georgia at South Carolina

Last year’s game between the ‘Cocks and Dawgs was a doozy at Sanford Stadium may well have been the best game between these two rivals EVER. This year’s clash – which features two unbeaten divisional teams in a National Top 10 match-up – is the most important. Georgia announced something really worrying for Dawg Nation this week: Wide receiver Michael Bennett, who leads the team in receptions, yards and touchdowns, is out with a torn ACL. He’s done for the season. And you know what? That’s a safe pair of hands for Aaron Murray to throw to, dawg. Don’t get me wrong, Marlon Brown and Tavarres King aren’t bad options, but Bennett’s a huge loss. Georgia’s going to HAVE to do well against South Carolina’s fearsome pass rush which leads the SEC in sacks and is fourth-best on rush defense – so pray for Todd Gurley and Keith Marshall to have a monster game, Bulldogs fans. On the other side of the ball, Connor Shaw’s speed and arm is going to worry a to-now shoddy Georgia secondary, for whom Baccari Rambo didn’t exactly inspire last week. And Georgia’s mediocre rushing defense could well struggle against Marcus Lattimore.

THE BOTTOM LINE: South Carolina by 7 in another classic – and this one’s going to be pretty high-scoring, too.

Arkansas at Auburn

Well, something’s going to have to give. These are two dreadful programs facing off against each other, both trying to avoid the embarrassment of total suckage during the season. Hey kids, this Arkansas defense could make Kiehl Frazier seem like Joe Montana. Oh, and as for Tyler Wilson and Kyle Davis? They’d better pray that Cobi Hamilton still has his receiving skates on, because they are going to desperately need them. And as for Auburn fans? Y’all are going to need to be out-of-your-mind drunk to watch this one. Get the bourbon in, boys!

THE BOTTOM LINE: Auburn wins by 10 in a game deserving of its 11am CT start. Not for the faint-hearted.

Mississippi State at Kentucky

Kentucky put in their best performance of the season when they played incredibly to take a 17-7 lead in against South Carolina last week. If there hadn’t been some inept clock management right at the end, if could have been 20-7 or even 24-7. Kentucky had the Gamecocks by the wings and they were plucking them. Mississippi State would do well to watch this. Sure, we know that MSU’s unbeaten, but they’ve only shown us they can beat Auburn, which is suddenly showing us even less than we thought. The second half might give King Cowbell some more security. South Carolina’s offense went through the Wildcats like butter, and had the game completely sown up as soon as they took the lead. MSU would do well to watch that, too.

THE BOTTOM LINE: Cowbell dings, but not as comfortably as some think. By 14.

Texas A&M at Ole Miss

There is time to give more love to a team in defeat than in victory, and this is it. Ole Miss, you played out of your skin against Alabama. Congratulations for confounding the critics and giving everyone in Oxford hope that things might at last be improving. There’s a smell of a bowl game in the air, and everyone’s excited (some too excited!). Anyway, Texas A&M actually won this weekend, with Johnny Football putting up 557 total yards against Arkansas. He was spectacular – even against a spectacularly BAD Razorbacks ‘D’. Anyway, A&M go on the road for their first true road test of the year – and boy, are they going to get one from Bo Wallace & Co.

THE BOTTOM LINE: A&M wins by 3 in a tight one. This Ole Miss SEC funk is going to end soon, folks. We can feel it with Freeze-ing our bones.

Vanderbilt at Missouri

If Auburn and Arkansas weren’t playing each other today, this would be the match-up of the SEC’s most disappointing teams. True, Missouri’s struggled with a true lack of identity at quarterback. Vanderbilt’s just struggled. The Tigers might be on the up a little bit because of their road with at UCF (in which they were actually the underdog), but they still aren’t a great team. Oh, and news has just come through: Dorial Green-Beckham’s just been suspended for weed possession. Nice one, Nation’s No.1 recruit who hasn’t done very much this year….

THE BOTTOM LINE: This will make uncomfortable viewing. Missouri wins by 7 in a low scorer.

This blog site’s SEC ranking ain’t gonna change the world. But they are a lot of fun to do – and we’ll supply reasons, too!

Anyway, here’s our 1-14. There are some changes, but Lord knows how many.

The soundtrack is Kid Rock’s “Only God Knows Why”.

1) Alabama – Only God Knows Why this team is so, so good. Is it Saban? Is it luck? Is it the coaching staff in its entireity? Is it team spirit?

2) South Carolina – Because Only God Knows Why this team was so awful in the first half on Saturday against Kentucky, and so great in the second.

3) Georgia – Only God Knows if the Dawgs are going to sort out their secondary in time for Carolina. At times on Saturday, they were, ahem, smoked (See: Rambo, Baccari)

4) Florida – Only God Knows why Jeff Driskel has gone from ‘Ghoul’ to ‘God’ in a few weeks in Gainseville.

5) LSU – Only God Knows if the Tigers were asleep for their game against Towson, or this team really is actually pretty bad.

6) Texas A&M – Only God Knows why Texas A&M don’t recruit female cheerleaders. But they are good at recruiting good QBs (See Manziel, Johnny).

7) Missouri – Only God Knows Why Dorial Green-Beckham’s only getting one touch a game, taking it to the house, and not getting passed to again.

8) Mississippi State- Only God Knows Why my ears are ringing with the sound of cowbell – and if MSU can actually compete in the West this year. If they can, this team might be a dark horse for the No.2 spot.

9)  Tennessee – Only God Knows If Derek Dooley’s keeping his job at the end of the year. Although his team has some fight, boys.

10) Ole Miss – Only God Knows if Ole Miss’ team spirit will translate into a SEC victory this year. Hugh Freeze has regular words with the Man Upstairs, so it should do.

11) Vanderbilt – Only God Knows if James Franklin is a humbler man after his chutzpah at SEC Media Day. We like confidence, sir, but back it up, please (and Vandy hasn’t done it).

12) Auburn – Only God Knows if the Arkansas game is going to be fun to watch on Saturday. Probably not.

13) Kentucky – Only God Knows what Joker Phillips was doing at the end of the second half with regards to clock management. Or what he said to the team at half-time. Or where he’s going to end up coaching in 2013.

14) Arkansas – Only God Knows. Only God Knows.

Everyone talked before this week started that Week 5 was going to be one of the duller on College Football’s calendar – and maybe in college football’s history (ESPN love to do overdo it, don’t they?). Many felt that College Gameday SHOULD have gone down South to Texas at Oklahoma State or Baylor at West Virginia, but instead went to Ohio State at Michigan State. Or to Sanford Stadium for the Tennesee – Georgia game.

But they whiffed. Instead they chose an out-an-out war between OSU and MSU, worthy of the ‘old days’ of college football where we loved brawn and battle, while all the three other games we’ve mentioned showed a ton of excitement and no defensive discipline at all.

Anyway, we’re just relaxing. Thanks for the memories, Week 5. And here’s our Top things on the SEC this week.

1) Make Florida a favorite over LSU: After back-to-back awful performances by the LSU Tigers, the pollsters have dropped LSU to No.4 in the Nation below mighty Alabama, Oregon and Florida State. This 38-22 win over Towson was enough to enrage any LSU fan, and shame any SEC fan. It simply wasn’t right how bad the Tigers were out there. And if you remember going to Death Valley when LSU was bad, then the empty seats and flat atmosphere on Saturday night must have brought back some bitter memories. We’re sorry. Anyway, LSU was bad enough that Les Miles pretty much apologised for the performance, and we think that unless they suddenly are a different team in The Swamp on Saturday, then Florida is a 3-to-6 point favorite. Like the rationale?

2) Giving it up on Saturday afternoon/evening were the defences of Georgia and Tennessee, who both played equally badly in a 51-44 UGA victory that did nothing except prove yours truly right about 13 points being too much for Georgia (thanks, we’re very happy). Seriously though, this game could have been out of sight at half-time if UGA hadn’t had one of the most awful five minutes in the Bulldogs sporting history, giving up 2 turnovers and going from 27-10 comfort to a 30-27 deficit. A field goal got the team back on par, but this was ugly. Georgia’s secondary – which was torched much of the time against the Vols  (281 yards passing) – didn’t look clever. And as for Tennessee? The ‘D’ was horrible against the rush (282 yards conceded), although Mssrs. Gurley and Marshall should definitely stand up and take some applause.

3) Ole Miss! By Damn! OK, so we called Ole Miss to get 14 points, and we were lucky. But to the Rebels’ credit, they played out of their skin against Alabama, limiting the rushing game to just 125 yards and causing a fumble. Having said that, turnovers plagued Ole Miss QB Bo Wallace and Randall MacKay, who threw two in the second quarter with the game close. And while Alabama rolled to a 34-14 victory, the victory was moral in Oxford. Hugh Freeze’s team is coming along in leaps and bounds, folks.

4) South Carolina struggles, then roll: Steve Spurrier must have said something in the Gamecocks locker room at half-time, and we’re sure it wasn’t said in the nicest tone of voice and didn’t contain the nicest of language , either. Why? After the first half of nightmares where they could have easily been 24-7 down in Commonwealth Stadium (they were down 17-7), USC got into gear and destroyed the Wildcats, running out 38-17 winners. Connor Shaw is looking pretty good as QB, and should shine against – and have we mentioned this before – Georgia’s poor secondary.

5) Missouri steps aside banana skin: Vegas called UCF to lose this one, but Missouri managed to ignore the OTB crowd and come away from Florida with a 21-16 victory. This included a touchdown for rookie top-recruit WR Dorial Green-Beckham, who was again hardly-used in the game (his TD was his only catch). What has Gary Pinkel got against him?

6) Arkansas stumbles again: Someone said on Facebook about the Razorbacks: “We might be the worst team in the country right now”. While that might be a bit cruel, they would certainly get a ranking on the Country’s Worst Team Poll, for which I’d also like to throw out some love for Georgia Tech after the team’s laughable performance at home to might Middle Tennessee State. As for Texas A&M, there’s a lot of love for Johnny Manziel, who threw for 453 yards and 3 TDs in his sides 58-10 victory, completely out-shining  Tyler Wilson, who you remember was a Heisman Contender Once all those years months ago.
