Stray college football thoughts while waiting for today's NFL kickoff...
*Just when you think a week looks "boring":
- Arkansas is stunned (only a win over Alabama next week could save the Hogs' season now, and that ain't happening, and it gets worse if QB Tyler Wilson's injury carries over)...
- Oklahoma State loses to instantly rebuilt Arizona (mock RichRod all you want, but it's impressive)...
- Jim Mora leads UCLA to a signature win over Nebraska (which was probably overrated going into the week, but who cares)...
- Wisconsin loses on the road at Oregon State (making me look smart for not ranking the Badgers in my Top 25 last week)...
Not bad for a "slow" week. More:
*Welcome to the SEC: The best image of the day in college football was Georgia players, after their win over Mizzou, holding up a white board to the crowd with "Grown Man Football" scribbled on it.
*Penn State loses again: There is a straight-line correlation between the NCAA sanctions, the incumbent starting kicker transferring, the replacement missing 4 of 5 FGs and another L.
*No reason not to leave Alabama at No. 1. Might drop USC out of the Top 5 after they had trouble shaking Syracuse. Adding Utah State, TCU, Arizona, Mississippi State and Florida.
*Looking ahead to next week: (1) Alabama at Arkansas, (2) USC at Stanford, (3) Florida at Tennessee, (4) Notre Dame at Michigan State, (5) Utah State at Wisconsin.
*Thoughts with Tulane's Devon Walker.
