Clemson is for real...again. Maybe the 2017 plan was to rebuild their offense but they obviously had a better foundation to build on then pre-season writers thought. Though I'm still not counting out Washington, Clemson (and Bama of course) are three of my playoff bets.
Texas coming back? Don't count them out yet.
SEC-West suddenly weak? Maybe so. LSU lost. So did Ole Miss.
Florida-Tennessee offensive struggles? Yes, but we all loved the final minute which contained great examples of how to throw the bomb...and how not to defend the bomb.
Georgia had a chance to refine a few things against their annual FCS opponent in prep for their SEC slate. That slate starts next week against a surprising Mississippi State team that surprised LSU 37 - 7, jolting themselves into the Top 25.
Hey BYU...don't forget that you were shut out by LSU, who got throttled in Starkville, and you are headed to Starkville in four short weeks. Yikes!
And speaking of BYU, when I left the BYU - Wisconsin game at the start of the 4th quarter, there were also Badger fans leaving. That just added insult to injury. BYU just has not found any rhythm yet. The defense is hanging in there as best they can but the offense just cannot find the right mix. There was a great series in Q1 that lead to a tying field goal, but that was all Wisconsin needed to see and they all but shut down the BYU offense after that. It could be a really woeful season for us Cougar fans.
