This and the Ole Miss/A&M game. There will be additional shake up in the top 10 this weekend. Whoever wins the SEC West will have survived the gauntlet. Tough division.

The one good things the teams that have 1 loss have going for them now, is its early... much better to lose now and run the table the rest of the season than to lose in a few weeks or late in the season... Especially this year as its a 4 team playoff, having one loss is not a killer... especially in a conference like the SEC... we'll see what happens...

Roll Tide! Unfortunately my alma-mater (boston college - at lease college hockey is around the corner!) was out of the playoff hunt a few weeks ago, but luckily my niece is a sophomore Bama and my brother and sister-in-law went there as well... oh, my other brother went to ND, but as BC alum, can't root for his team

i'm really torn for that ND/FSU game. can't abide the irish, and i really don't like winston. is there a way they can both lose?

as for the playoffs, this conference cannibalization will continue and we'll probably end up seeing three of the big 5 conferences in there, not four. i'm guessing two sec, fsu, and either a pac12 or big12. doesn't really matter how they get there i suppose.

the crazy thing for me, being in the pac12, is that somehow cal sits atop the north. whodda thought......

There is a good column in today's Wall Street Journal about all the past week's upsets - "College Football Goes Nuts". The article discusses and raises the question how the Selection Committee for the Championship Playoffs might choose the four playoff teams especially if many of the top ranked teams all have one loss. Makes college football fun.....
