Texas A&M vs. South Carolina?

Georgia vs. Clemson?

LSU vs. Wisconsin?

Alabama vs West Virginia?

Auburn vs. Arkansas?

Ole Miss vs. Boise St.?

According to the rankings it was A&M. But, South Carolina looked horrible the whole game.

Wisconsin was ranked #14 and looked great in the first 2.5 quarters. According to the SEC Rant, they became a horrible football team midway through the 3rd quarter.

I did not get to see the Georgia-Clemson game. Georgia thoroughly handled them, apparently.

West Virginia looked really good overall.

Rank the teams that the winning SEC teams beat in order of best to worst.

As of now, though.

We won't know who the National Champion is until later either. But, we speculate.

Opinions wanted.

no, their dumbass coach lost the game for them. I feel bad for the players.

You don't have Melvin Gordon running wild and then rush him 3 times in the second half

Tough to really know, based on what I saw I would rank them as follows:

Wisconsin
Clemson
South Carolina
West Virginia
Arkansas
Boise St

Well, its a 60 minute game and LSU took the lead with 9 minutes to go.

Maybe something happened to Gordon? It is a mystery.

Thanks. I would put Boise ahead of Arkansas and South Carolina ahead of WVU.

But, based on how good WVU looked, I can see why they are ranked so high.

SCAR looked awful. So, yeah, I guess you have it right.

Just because Ole Miss had trouble with Boise for 3 quarters doesn't make them a great team. They would get dominated on the lines by Arkansas and Brandon Allen is a better QB than Boise's. I expect the Ark-OM game to come down to the wire, and if OM wins it surely won't be by 22 points like they beat Boise.

It didn't matter if Gordon was in and their coaches knew it. We had loaded up to stop the run and we're bringing run blitzes. The only way they were gonna open the running game back up was to make us respect the threat of the pass. They were one dimensional, we sold out to stop it, and they couldn't make us pay. End of story.

Your offensive line has no chance against our defensive line. Sorry.
