Another week down, the pecking order may be shuffled a bit but some teams are pretty much who we thought they were.
As good as Alabama looked during long stretches of Saturday’s game, it’s a little scary to me that A&M ended up making things as close as they did … Even scarier in some respects is that Oregon put a historic beatdown on Tennessee (worst varsity football loss for the Vols since 1910) while not necessarily appearing to need much effort to do it … Duke is Duke, and Georgia Tech has to be happy about that … Texas might actually be as bad as BYU made them look … Ohio State might be more dangerous than some folks believe … Could Vandy be preparing to turn back into Vandy? … Florida State definitely looks like they’re for real, but which week does Winston turn into a freshman, like virtually all freshmen do? … What in the world got into Michigan? And does it mean anything? … And how on earth did officials manage to make as complete a bungle of a game as Wisconsin – Arizona State ended up being? Might be among the worst utter clusters I can recall seeing. I’m not sure there’s any way I can look at either team’s record without putting an asterisk beside it. No guarantee Wisconsin hits the field goal but in my heart I can’t treat that game as anything more than a narrow win over an unranked team.
Hmm … after a couple of weeks feeling like I had answers, seems Week 3 gave me more questions … probably a good time to get to the Top 25, before I end up confusing myself
