It was an interesting week.

South Carolina looked better in spite of the loss. Auburn looked worse so they did lose. Arkansas almost won. Alabama picked up some dings with their win. And L.S.U. manhandled Georgia while Vandy pushed the Gators hard. Miss State and Kentucky took the week off.

So Alabama remains our lone unbeaten while Kentucky, Georgia, L.S.U. and Florida all have one loss. I think everyone else has 2 or more.

In the Big 10 Iowa has 1 loss and Michigan has 1 loss and OSU remains their only unbeaten team.

Next week one of Clemson and N.C. State will have their first loss when they play. Duke has 1 loss.

In the Big 12 there are no unbeaten schools now. Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia all have 1 loss.

In the PAC USC is currently leading Colorado 21-7 in the 3rd qtr and Oregon and Washington State each have 1 loss.

The herd is getting really thin now and the end of season could get very interesting indeed.

And Notre Dame squeaked by Pitt to remain unbeaten.

My 2 SEC upset picks came close, but fell short.

Yes, the end of the season will be a big fuss as to who gets a play-off bid.

Biggest one game flops of the week:. Georgia; West Virginia.

Penn State blew another one by turning to protectionism and defensive mode late.

The SEC? It's Alabama, then the jumbled rest.

Pollsters may start viewing now that Alabama, Ohio State, Notre Dame, and Clemson, will be having the inside track to the playoffs. Chances are good at least two of those will have a loss before the regular season concludes.

I did some schedule peaking at the remaining schedules last night.

I don't think Iowa finishes with just one loss. They look to pick up another, likely against Penn State. Michigan's defense is strong enough that they may give Ohio State a run for their money this year. Anyway I think the Big 10 will finish with either 1 undefeated team and no school with fewer than two losses, or two 1 loss schools.

If Alabama gets by L.S.U. I don't see a defense strong enough to stop them.

N.C. State might have a shot at upsetting Clemson, but certainly nobody else does until they play South Carolina and that game should prove more of a tussle and if the Cocks play well that day it's possible.

Oregon plays Wash St. this next week one of them moves to 2 losses. Colorado isn't good at all and will lose again, maybe twice.

Notre Dame could face a challenge at U.S.C. if they continue to improve but other than that I think they get in.

There's nothing stellar in the Big 12.

Georgia could lose to Florida, Kentucky, or Auburn if a stout defense can stymie them like L.S.U.'s did.

If Tua is hurt things could get very muddled indeed.

Texas is hot right now. Conference is theirs to lose.

Heard a stat that Georgia has not yet beaten s team with a winning record.

Next few weeks will shake up the standings.

I’m not too wore about Alabama...they still have a QB starting that win a National Title.

Right now, I’d have:
1. Alabama
2. Ohio St
3. Clemson
4. Notre Dame

However, if Ohio St, Clemson, and Notre Dame lose then a 1-loss SEC champ who isn’t Alabama gets in. For example, if LSU beats Alabama and goes to the SEC CCG and plays a 1-loss Florida, Georgia, or Kentucky, then the champion should get in. Assuming Notre Dame loses and LSU runs the table and Alabama’s only loss is LSU:

1. Ohio St
2. Clemson
3. Alabama
4. LSU

B1G could get 2 if Michigan runs the table, Ohio St has 1 loss, and either Clemson or Notre Dame lose. XII is out barring 2 of the above lose and either Texas or Oklahoma runs the table. I don’t see how the PAC gets in.

You just know the selection committee, advertisers, and the established sports media would love to have a one-loss (first game vs MD) Texas. Texas though, has a few challenging games yet to play. Some may be dreaming of a nostalgic Texas-Notre Dame match-up.

Ohio State would not want to get anywhere near Clemson.

Locke has awesome natural talent, but sometimes plays like he is still in Jr High. He is a very streaky player and he has a real problem with understanding defenses, reads, etc. He makes terrible decisions. He fumbles instead of just taking the sack, and later takes the snap in the end zone and just stands there and takes a safety. Defenses read him and pick him off weekly. There is no chance this kid is ready for the NFL. Not even close. Yes, Alabama is tough, but so are the New England Patriots. They will eat his lunch. He reminds me of Cutler.

That may be true, but he's better than Stidham.

I would trade him for Hurt in a minute. Do you think Gus will lose his job if you lose 4-5 games? People are grumbling.

His contract is 7 million a year for 7 years and will have 6 years remaining at the end of the year, so no. It was the parting gift of the worst A.D. to ever serve Auburn, Jay Jacobs.

If LSU loses a game before they ‘Bama, I am predicting an LSU upset right now. UGA came into Death Valley somewhat unprepared, and Coach O took full advantage, plus the loss to the Gators earlier gave LSU extra motivation. Coach Smart will be able to use this loss as motivation for the Dawgs!!

Looks like they have Mississippi State and then a bye week before Alabama.

.....unless another major school offers Gus a HC job. But no school is going to offer him that kind of money for that long.

It could turn into a nasty situation. Major fan and booster discontent will negatively impact attendance and thus, recruiting.

Wouldn't Auburn's President and BoT have had to approve Jacob's contract proposal for Gus? Rubber-stamping such looks problematic if that is how it happened.

Nick Saban, Dabo Swinney, Jim Harbaugh, Urban Meyer, and Chip Kelly, and perhaps a couple of others can demand that kind of money. Gus has those up and down seasons that don't appear to warrant such. Auburn is capable of attracting the finest.
