How did North Carolina lose to the worst Spurrier team since his first year at Duke?
1) Rivalry game, + Texas is playing under their level of talent
2) Mike Leach
3) North Carolina hasn't beaten anybody. There's a reason they are the lowest 1 loss team in the CFP poll.
2. Portland State is a solid FCS team better than at least half of FBS. Numerous FCS teams are better than the bottom of FBS, the issue is depth, none of them could hold up for an entire season except maybe in the MAC or Sun Belt.

1) Texas has the talent to play with anyone, and that is a rivalry game. It happens.
3) It's never a total shock when an SEC team beats an ACC team (LOL). Plus, SC has gotten a lot worse and UNC a lot better over the course of the year.
I think the Oklahoma/Texas one is- only because the others were 1st games of the year- and you just never know what you're going to get with those games.

Vanderbilt over Kentucky....
we're going backwards, brother, second year in a row. No way Vandy beats UK at the beginning of the year, imo, and no way UK beats Missouri or SC now like we did at the beginning of the year, or barely lose to Florida, it'd be a slaughter this time. pretty disturbing trend in Lexington football-wise... hooray for basketball season. as we say, every single year.
