1. 3 SEC teams now in the AP top 5 - In what may be an unprecedented feat, three teams from one conference are all ranked in the top 5 of the AP poll. No, Tennessee is not one of them.
2. Georgia's offense blows up - The game that everyone expected to be either 3-2 or at the most 10-9 turned into an offensive explosion. The Dawgs end up scoring 41 points against a stout South Carolina defense and prove that maybe their offense may not be a liability this season after all. In one remarkable week, the same Georgia team that many doubted could score a single touchdown against the Cocks is now expected to win another shootout, this time against Arkansas.
3. A top 5 team goes down for the 2nd week in a row - One week after #3 Oklahoma loses to BYU, #5 Oklahoma State gets pantsed at home by Houston. Is there any possible way for a top 5 team to lose again this week? USC plays at Washington, and both Cal and Oregon State can testify that USC has a history of struggling in their Pac 10 road openers. Texas hosts Texas Tech in a rematch of one of the best games of 2008 - could Mike Leach strike twice in a row? If USC and Texas both survive, then we may have to wait another week before any major shakedowns. Fellow top-5ers Florida, Alabama, and Ole Miss are virtual locks to win this Saturday.
4. The bottom falls out at Colorado - Their season started poorly with a home loss to Colorado State, but then the Buffs played at Toledo on a Friday night for some unknown reason and got blown out 54-38. Colorado was down 30-3 midway through the third quarter, and only a couple of "excuse me" touchdowns in the final 2:56 made the score as close as it was.
5. Charlie "Mr. Tactical Advantage" Weis fails to manage a game properly once again - Actually this one isn't too much of a surprise at all, but it is fascinating that people like Lou Holtz and Beano Cook haven't learned anything after watching the Irish stumble through the worst two year stretch in the program's history. How many more clock misadventures or horrible play calls or abysmal losses must there be before they stop picking Notre Dame to have wildly successful seasons?
