Absolutely. Although I would've put money on Bama, the wife and I were glad to see A&M win.
Now, I'm am really excited to see the Kentucky Georiga game next Saturday.
I'm really hoping Kentucky wins. Not, that I have anything against UGA, I've always really liked UGA, it's just that Kentucky football is undefeated!!
Would be so cool to see someone other than Alabama and Georgia in the National Championship....oops, I mean the SEC Championship ..... :winking-tongue

i'm sad that Bama lost. However, I predicted it was going to come. Their offense is not good enough this year. I thought Ol Miss would have beat them, personally. I am surprised A&M was the team (3-2 going into today) that knocked them off, however.

There were several upsets, today. BYU, Alabama, Arkansas, and I don't know who else.

And how does Kentucky have such a good team this year and undefeated? That never happens. They are the team that exists so everyone has someone to beat. Not this year.

Who's ready for the big UGA Kentucky game?
I've always liked UGA but, I say go Wildcats!!
I can't help but pull for Kentucky. Not sure I've ever seen them 6-0
At any rate, it should be a good ballgame.
I really don't think that Kentucky will get Shell shocked like Arkansas did. Which was a shame because the Razorbacks have a good team and coach. Should have been a better game. Then again, shoulda, coulda, woulda, lol, Georgia tore thier arse up

The last time Kentucky was 6-0, Bear Bryant was their coach.

Tom, this may very well be Georgia's year man.
They have the defense to handle Alabama/anyone imo.

I am rooting for KY. If anyone can knock of UGA it's them. I hope they do, too. I've not seen KY do this well in my lifetime. I wonder what they are feeding those kids?

What an incredible letdown Iowa is........
Just ridiculous to get handled at home by un-ranked Perdue.
What a joke.
I just had such high hops for Iowa, especially after they beat Penn State

Well gang, any comments from Saturday's action?
Georgia looked extremely impressive yesterday.
Gonna be a tremendous S.E.C. Championship between the Bulldogs and Alabama.
Now that UK is out of the picture, I really hope Georgia can win the S.E.C. Championship.
Wild finish in Knoxville last night! Anyone else see it?

Wow. Looks like Ed Orgeron is out at LSU
He will continue to coach the rest of the season.

I didn't see that. That is a surprise. They beat Florida. LSU is not the powerhouse it was just two years ago, but schools wax and wane in power. Same coach. Why would a school get rid of a coach that recently took them to the championship?

Purdue spanked them, for sure. I predict more top teams are gonna fall.

Alabama is #5 because they lost a game and OK is #4 only because they haven't. OK is not as good a team, I don't think.

Tennessee, once a dominant team, continues to embarrass itself. They need to fire the administrators, the ones who decide on coaches and assistant coaches and support staff. The ones who decide on budgets and recruiting.

I agree on both counts man.
I was also dead wrong about Bama being 2 T.D.'s better than UGA. That's gonna be one helluva game. I would certainly give Georgia the edge. That's the best defense I think I've ever seen Georgia have....and defense wins 🏆
As for Tennessee, it was a TERRIBLE call by the Zebras! But, no way should those fans should have done what they did. That was a real embarrassment to the University & Volunteer football team.

They games still need to be played--and for good reason. I'm glad UGA has a week off, because I feel like they're looking a little beat up. They're really showing their depth though. Playing well with the backups is a good sign for the late season.

Iowa continues to surprise and then disappoint.

I thought Tennessee was going to put a hurtin' on Alabama at the beginning of the game. They came out strong, but seemed to lose their way. As usual, Alabama's defense was pretty poor overall.

Things were slow around the shop so I decided to scan the NCAA football horizon a bit. Here are the undefeateds left and most of their schedules for the rest of the season. Plus Alabama and Ohio State with 1 loss.

Georgia-@Florida(4-3), Missouri(3-4), @Tennessee(4-4), Charleston Southern(2-4), @Georgia Tech3-4). 0 top 25 teams left to play. Georgia has easy sledding to the Conference Championship..

Cincinnati- @Tulane(1-6), Tulsa(3-4), @South Florida(2-5), SMU(7-0), @East Carolina(3-4) 1 team in the top 25 left to play. Easy schedule except for also unbeaten SMU.

*Alabama- BYE, LSU(4-4), New Mexico(1-7), Arkansas(5-3), @Auburn(5-2). 1 top 25 team left to play. A couple of land mines left as they navigate their precarious one loss record towards the Conference Championship game.

Oklahoma- Texas Tech(5-3), BYE, @Baylor(6-1), Iowa State(5-2), @Oklahoma State(6-1). 3 top 25 teams left to play. Oklahoma can’t make the College Football Playoffs without running the table and winning the Conference Championship. A fairly formidable task.

*Ohio State- Penn State, @Nebraska, Purdue, Michigan State, @Michigan. 3 top 25 teams left to play. The Big Ten is going to be a bloodbath the next five weeks.

Michigan- @Michigan State, Indiana, @Penn State, @Maryland, Ohio State. 3 top 25 teams left to play.

Michigan State- Michigan, @Purdue, Maryland, @Ohio State, Penn State. 3 top 25 teams left to play.

Wake Forest

Southern Methodist University

San Diego State

University of Texas at San Antonio

I wouldn’t doubt if there is an error or two. If you see one I will correct it.
