83, craziest day I recall watching. 
Miami survived, barely… what a game.

Rankings should be interesting tomorrow.

I’d bet the bank on Miami #1.

After that? Shoot, who knows? 
 

 

I agree and Miami has 5 tough games remaining.  Pitt, @ UNC, @ Notre Dame, Duke and V Tech-  any of these could be a loss for the Canes.  I don't think the upsets and wild finishes are done for the top 25 teams.

Yesterday was a “forget everything you thought you knew” kind of day.

 

I have zero read on the rest of the season.

 

I kinda think Georgia will be fine? I kinda think Ole Miss and Kentucky are a lot better than I thought a week or two ago? I kinda think LSU still has a role to play in it all, either by getting into the Playoff or ruining someone else’s Playoff dream? I kinda think Texas could easily finish 7–5?

 

But I don’t know anything. Well ok I do know one thing, State needs Kamario (and Fluff) back like immediately.

No everyone has lost after winning a big game the week before.  Maybe LSU survives this week then a let down the next week. Texas has problems and its not necessarily Arch's fault. O-LINE, RECEIVERS,  AND trouble has followed that DC everywhere.

It seems like Texas has a lot of square pegs and round holes. Lots of talent that maybe doesn’t necessarily mesh together very well.

 

I have no clue what to make of Auburn now. That was one of the more shocking SEC results of the last decade. I do like Golesh as a coach though, just didn’t think he had very much talent to work with this year. Seems like he is figuring out how to work within the group he has. But also if you told me they end up still finishing like 6-6 I wouldn’t be totally shocked.

Yesterday was one of those where three teams were coming off emotional rivalry games went into their games, thinking we got this. 
Florida picked up the pieces and Texas was still hung over from the RRSO. 
Georgia forgot that Auburn is technically their oldest rival and is the classic , you can throw out the records type game, plus they were due for a let down after the Bama game. 
Bama let Georgia beat them twice. Kind of received their own medicine along with the fact TSIO is also a rivalry game. This time Tennessee got to fire up the stogies. 
Plus KY carried their momentum over to an emotionally spent Okie team to pick up the win. 
 

So going forward I agree, I have no idea what will happen. This is a product of the new era of college football. Nobody will go undefeated and week to week you will have results like yesterday. The overall product on the field is worse which helps the mid level teams be able to beat an upper tier team more often in the present day.

I think Bamas loss was more Jim Knowles and his front 7 being lights out. Arguably the best defense in the nation after that game. If Heupel gets his Qb settled in, they’re certainly a national title contender

Holding Bama to 200 yards was very impressive.

Tennessee has the most favorable remaining schedule of any remaining playoff contender in the SEC, too.

 

So naturally watch them lose to South Carolina this weekend.
