Man, what a weird weekend for the top 25. Tennessee has to go into overtime against App State, MSU struggles with an FCS team that went 4-7 last season, Stanford struggles on offense probably more than they should have against Kansas State, Houston upsets Oklahoma, LSU gets shut down and beat by Wisconsin, Florida struggles offensively against a pretty bad UMass team, Clemson gets scared by Auburn, TCU has to engage in a shootout against SD State, and USC gets destroyed by Bama way more than I ever would have imagined. I halfway expect Ole Miss and Texas to win in blowouts tomorrow just to keep up the pattern.
On the bright side, Kirby Smart's debut as Georgia's head coach showed a lot of promise. Nick Chubb is officially back, and it looks like there's plenty of young RB talent behind him. Eason started out a little rough, but he quickly calmed down and made some good plays. I'm expecting great things from him as the season goes on. McKenzie also looked like a good answer to Georgia's WR concerns. The defense gave up some big plays here and there, but overall they did a good job of slowing down a UNC offense that was pretty dangerous last season. After Tennessee and Florida struggled the way they did, it looks like Georgia might be the team to beat in the SEC East. Getting to an SEC championship in his first season as a head coach would be great for Smart.
EDIT: Looks like you can add a Texas upset of Notre Dame to that list. What a game!
