What did we learn today that we didn't already know?
Florida is really really bad! Kentucky has to be luckiest 1 loss team in the SEC and could have been unbeaten if they hadn't been woefully unlucky against Florida.
That neither Florida nor Michigan were all of that and a bag of chips and way too much glamour was claimed by the Big 10 for that win. Remember Nebraska is lousy. Ohio State was blown out by Oklahoma who lost as 30 plus point favorites at home to Iowa State who was using a back up QB who had taken 15 snaps in action prior to today.
We learned that both South Carolina and Texas A&M still have a pulse and a great chance to make the post season and that Arkansas really stinks and that unbeaten T.C.U. can't really boast much about that win.
We learned last week that Georgia beat a pretty dang good Notre Dame who blew out Michigan State who hung a L on the Wolverines today.
As for the SEC it's lining up to be Alabama vs Georgia with Auburn as the one who could play spoiler for either one of their title hopes. And really other than that it looks right now like the rest of the SEC will be playing for the pecking order of the bowl bids.
What we didn't learn? That we have no idea if L.S.U. improved this week or if Florida regressed, or if it was a contest between two craptastic teams. My money is on the latter.
So if things played out without upsets we should see Washington, Clemson, Alabama, and Penn State in the CFP.
Guess what? That's the same 4 schools that either were, or should have been in the CFP last year.
Here's hoping we at least have a fresh face or two.

Florida only has one thing left to play; making the Dawgs life miserable at this years Cocktail Party.
I don't see any opposition to U-Dub or Clemson's playoff birth
The B12 playoff hopes all rest on TCU's shoulder. That repeat CCG will really add a lot of value to their resume
/sarcasm
I don't know what to make of the B1G, but we'll get some clarity when PSU begin their run thru the B1G eastern powers

Apple Cup (Washington/Washington St) should be really fun this year.
Penn State still has a long way to go. Still have to get through Michigan, Ohio St, and Michigan St (in 3 consecutive weeks no less)
