Georgia -v- South Carolina

[WoVeU]

Georgia is just absurd at zone defense! Often bad before the snap. They just need to go to a simple cover 1.

[Eric]

They're busting a lot of coverages too. Spurrier is being creative with his wideout sets and Georgia isn't reading it.

Looking at this game, Texas A&M must be really good and Clemson must be really bad.

I think A&M is pretty good and that Clemson is a little bit overrated. Georgia got too much credit for that win. It was a good win, but for them to vault all the way up to #6 was overdoing it in my opinion. Both of these teams are very good though, somebody had to lose and South Carolina won it by playing it at home (if you ascribe to the "home team gets 3 points" theory).

After this game, my picks are 3-10 so far.

I'm doing just as terribly, don't worry about it

I think everyone had Louisville wrong. If I recall, I was the only one to take ECU and Armchairqb was the only other one who had South Carolina, but I was also the only one to take Georgia Southern. Then I had Idaho, Minnesota, Texas Tech, and Iowa. Now Penn State is getting shut out by Rutgers (RUTGERS!....THAT PASS DEFENSE!!!). Yuck . Western Kentucky can go either way right now, too.

I knew Western Michigan had a secret weapon in Jarvion Franklin. This guy is a load to handle. He's a 210 pound true freshman who has run for 370 yards and 6 scores so far. Granted it was against Purdue and Idaho, but this guy is legit. I thought he would run wild against the Vandals, but I figured Western would find a way to screw up on the road. They still don't know how to win. I guess Idaho doesn't either, so something had to give

PJ Fleck is doing a great job bringing some guys in. He had no chance in year 1, although that loss to Nicholls State still stings a year later. He'll get Western turned around quickly. I'm also coming around to Chris Creighton at Eastern, but it'll be another two years before they can contend for a bowl game. They are horrible right now. He'll probably get his guys in and start them right away next year I would imagine.

As for Central, today was a total dud. Most CMU fans don't even like Dan Enos, but this came out of nowhere. Part of the problem was Thomas Rawls was held out of the game for unspecified reasons. He would have made a difference, but the W/L outcome wouldn't have changed. Syracuse just demolished CMU today. Central can beat Kansas though if Rawls is ready to go next week. But this is weird because Central has all of these winnable games and a real asset in Rawls, yet they have a terrible head coach. If they beat Kansas they will be in a bowl game which will buy Enos time even though he's done a poor job. Kind of a catch-22 for the Chippewa program.

After this game, my picks are 3-10 so far.

Somehow I rallied back to go 10-10.

[WoVeU]

Good luck to you all in the picks this year...the field seems more wide open than ever.

[Derek]

I'm not even going to rank Georgia I'm so ticked off that they lost this game. I can't even comment on it 5 days later.

I feel your pain buddy.

Well, at least South Carolina vindicated themselves for their position in my fantasy conference ...

But, seriously ... that was some game.
