Week 9

Aggie fans waiting on the roller coaster…




Bring on the Hate…



‘Did Sankey and the SEC decide to employ everyone involved in the Epstein investigation? How else do you explain the systemic lack of accountability in officiating every game this season?’

‘I don’t know if y’all saw it or not, but the PAC-12 held their championship this weekend.’

‘Well done Georgia. Miami has officially been Beck’ed.’

‘Sure is a shame Clemson and Florida State are suing the ACC because they want a bigger piece of the pie in the conference. I wonder if they will have to submit their records, a combined 7-9 this year, as evidence?’

‘We all know how Dabo likes to claim how his team has been disrespected, but who would have ever guessed his coaching was the source?’

‘The mighty SMU Mustangs (6-3) have lost one conference game in two years in the ACC. That should tell you everything you need to know about the ACC.’

‘Was there some kind of Memorial Day in Arkansas? That’s the only thing I can think of to explain all those flags.’

Playoff Watch

This new section is not a prediction on who will be in the playoffs. It’s just at current standing based on merit.

As the ranks thin out, we may have to start introducing two loss teams before too long.

ACC
- Georgia Tech - 1 loss to NC State
- Louisville - 1 loss to Virginia
- Virginia - 1 loss to NC State

Down goes Miami - again.

B10
- Ohio State - Undefeated
- Indiana - Undefeated
- Oregon - 1 loss to Indiana

B12 (favorite Texas Tech lost)
- BYU - undefeated, but they have only played one ranked team who is no longer ranked.
- Texas Tech - 1 loss to Arizona State

Cincinnati and Houston with second losses. BYU and Tech play each other this weekend

SEC
- Bama - I have to place them at the top just based on their schedule. They have 4 top 25 wins compared to A&M’s 1
- Texas A&M - Undefeated, but they haven’t played the hardest competition outside of Notre Dame
- Georgia - If the Dawgs played the 1st half like they play the 4th quarter, they would be undefeated and ranked number 1, but they haven’t.
- Ole Miss - 1 quarter away from being undefeated
- Texas - only has 1 conference loss to Florida

Vanderbilt got bumped this week.

Independent
- Notre Dame - They looked horrible against a 1-7 BC team, but they won. The media will likely move them up because that is what they do.

Group of 5 - this will solve itself as the season plays out so I’m not going to detail this.



Here We Go…

Another week, another game Georgia is playing from behind. As talented as Georgia is, it is odd they keep playing from behind in what seems like every game. Georgia continues to win, but you can’t help but think the dawgs are flying too close to the sun with their waxed wings. Can they continue?



#7 Ole Miss (8-1, SEC 5-1, P4: 5-1, Non-P4: 3-0, AP: -1)

Weekly Status: P4 Win (Met Expectations)

Ole Miss is looking like a lock for the playoffs unless some upsets take place. The rebels took care of business against a struggling Gamecocks team. Florida and State are the only P4 teams left on the schedule. Will the rebels finish strong?

Weekly Status: Top 20 Road Loss (Failed to Meet Expectations)

A slow start really put Vandy behind the 8 ball in the first half (down 10-24). This the 2nd week I can recall where Vandy misfired out of the gate in the 1st half and created a sizable hole to crawl out. The furious comeback effort in the 4th came just short of tying the game as the onside kick couldn’t be controlled and rolled out of bounds.

Vandy still has the playoffs in front of them, but their margin for error is essentially gone. They still have some tough games ahead. Will Vandy anchor down?


#14 Tennessee (6-3, SEC 3-3, P4: 4-3, Non-P4: 2-0, AP: -3)

Weekly Status: Top 20 Home Loss (Met Expectations)

The good offense vs the good defense, and the good defense won this battle. The turnovers seemed to be the crucial factor in this game. Was Aguilar too aggressive or was the defense too good? Regardless why the turnovers happened, they happened and really hurt the vols.

The Sooners hung around. Their offense was not spectacular, but it was good enough. Again, the sooner defense played very well in this battle. The Vols now have 3 losses on the year, but all their loses are to top ranked teams.

Weekly Status: Top 15 Road Win (Met Expectations)

The Sooners went to Tennessee and escaped with the win. The Sooners offense struggled early, but the defense kept them close with timely score in the 1st quarter. The Sooner’s grinder most of the day, and did just enough to win.

The D played another great game and kept them in it. The Offense did just enough to come home with the win. The Oklahoma schedule is still stout. They have two more ranked teams out of their 3 remaining games. How will the Sooners finish up the year: playoffs or bust?


Middle of the Pack

Florida (3-5, SEC 2-3, P4: 2-4, Non-P4: 1-1, AP: N/A)
Opponent: #5 Georgia (7-1) (P4), Line: +6.5 (+2.5)

The Gators played hard in their first game without Billy, but it wasn’t enough. Florida pushed Georgia most of the game, but just couldn’t hold them off in the 4th quarter? How much gas is left in the Florida tank? Will there be additional upsets as the season comes to a close?


LSU (5-3, SEC 2-3, P4: 3-3, Non-P4: 2-0, AP: +6)

The Texas situation is the oddest I can remember. They have a team stacked with talent, but have been underperforming all year; however, they are pulling out wins with a lot of these poor performances. They are working themselves right back into the hunt for a playoff spot as well as the SEC championship game. There is still a tough road ahead, but they keep finding ways to win. And the Georgia game seems much more intriguing. Are the stars aligning? I’m not predicting a comeback, but if they do, it might be the best comeback ever.

The defense continues to keep the team in games, but the offense is showing signs of life. The offensive line looks to be gelling which bought time for Arch to execute the offense. How much further can this offense improve before the season ends?

Texas’ goals are in front of them, but they have several tough games ahead. Will they be able to finish strong?

Upset Artist

This new section is for teams that have fallen below the middle of the pack, but are dangerous and likely to get an upset before the season is over


Auburn (4-5, SEC 1-5, P4: 2-5, Non-P4: 2-0, AP: N/A)
Opponent: Kentucky (3-5) (P4), Line: -11.5 (-17.5)
Score: 3-10
Stat Line: O(118/123/241,1/1/2) D(79/161/240,0/2/2) P(4/26) TOP(28:14)
Prior Week: P4 Win (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Home Loss (Failed to Meet Expectations)

Auburn finally pulled the cord on Hugh Freeze. While he has always had strong offenses, this last tenure failed miserably. The defense is very solid and only needed minimal help on offense, but they help never seemed to arise. Now it’s back to the drawing board to see how Auburn can solve their offensive woes.


Mississippi State (5-4, SEC 1-4, P4: 2-4, Non-P4: 3-0, AP: N/A)
Opponent: @ Arkansas (2-7) (P4), Line: +5.5 (+8.5)
Score: 38-35
Stat Line: O(106/282/388,0/1/1) D(239/194/433,0/0/0) P(4/30) TOP(25:39)
Prior Week: Top 25 Loss (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Road Win (Met Expectations)

This has been a long time coming - their 1st SEC win in several years. They have been really close several times this season, but finally got across the finish line.

I’m still of the opinion that Lebby has this team pointed upwards, but I think more talent is needed on both sides of the ball. The first season was bad, the second season has displayed promise, next year needs to take another big step and win a lot more games than you lose.


Hall of Shame

At the end of the year, this will be the worst 3-4 teams. For now, it will be for public shaming.

Arkansas (2-7, SEC 0-5, P4: 0-6, Non-P4: 2-1, AP: N/A)
Opponent: Mississippi State (5-4) (P4), Line: -5.5 (-8.5)
Score: 35-38
Stat Line: O(239/194/433,0/0/0) D(106/282/388,0/1/1) P(18/193) TOP(34:21)
Prior Week: P4 Loss (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Loss (Met Expectations)

The formula for Arkansas is pretty easy this year: don’t turn the ball over, and don’t commit penalties. The penalties were off the chart. When your penalty yards are close to the other teams rushing or passing yards, it makes it extremely difficult to win games, and it makes it impossible to hire the interim coach.


Kentucky (3-5, SEC 1-5, P4: 1-5, Non-P4: 2-0, AP: N/A)
Opponent: Auburn (4-5) (P4), Line: +11.5 (+17.5)
Score: 10-3
Stat Line: O(118/123/241,1/1/2) D(79/161/240,0/2/2) P(3/20) TOP(31:46)
Prior Week: Top 20 Loss (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Road Win (Exceeded Expectations)

You won, but it was against an inept Auburn offense.

South Carolina (3-6, SEC 1-6, P4: 2-6, Non-P4: 1-0, AP: N/A)
Opponent: #8 Ole Miss (8-1) (P4), Line: +13.5 (-2.5)
Score: 14-30
Stat Line: O(50/180/230,1/2/3) D(258/159/417,1/1/2) P(4/20) TOP(29:14)
Prior Week: Top 5 Loss (Met Expectations)
Weekly Status: P4 Loss (Met Expectations)

I really am puzzled by this. SC started the season as the #11 team in the nation. Now the offense coordinator and offensive line coach have been fired because the new scheme appears to have completely disabled Seller’s ability to play QB. Beamer has done better than I expected, but this year is testing his prior good will as this offense is inexcusable.
