Yesterday confirmed what we already knew about this season. College football remains the greatest sport around and the SEC is overrated. Nobody knew who Johnny Manziel was three months ago and there he was outclassing Alabama last night. Sure A&M is now part of the SEC but the same cannot be said of Louisiana-Lafayette. And wasn't the SEC too powerful for a Big 12 team to come in and improve? Meanwhile out west Oregon continued to lose guys to injury but never stopped scoring in routing Cal. Kansas State won another game with toughness, while Notre Dame did little to impress voters who remember the Irish struggles a lot more than the good moments.
But let's get back to the SEC as voters have made it painfully clear that if either Georgia or Alabama win out they will be the next in line should two of the remaining three unbeatens lose. No one else need apply even if another one-loss team has a better resume. With so much football remaining the pressure is on the top three.
Meanwhile, let's hear it for Kent State who is ranked for the first time since the 1973 squad (coached by Don James and featuring NFL picks Gerald Tinker on offense and Jack Lambert pacing the D). Beat Bowling Green Saturday and a ticket to the MAC championship will be punched.
