TOP STORYLINES

-Tennessee managed to slay the Florida Gators. That does not really feel proper to learn or write. Hendon Hooker formally launched his Heisman marketing campaign with 349 passing yards and 112 dashing yards. Anthony Richardson seemed way more succesful below heart, however Neyland and the Vols proved that they is likely to be the second greatest workforce within the SEC East.

-Texas A&M in all probability should not have overwhelmed Arkansas on Saturday, but it surely was an enormous, season-saving win for the Aggies. There’s seemingly no beating Alabama in two weeks, however a second-place end within the SEC West is a really seemingly chance.

–Earth to Georgia? That was a foul efficiency towards Kent State. Everyone seems to be due one ho-hum week, nonetheless, so we’ll give the Dawgs a go this time round. I nonetheless do not see any competitors for UGA for the time being. 

IT JUST MEANS…LESS

–Dedicating this whole part to Auburn and Missouri. What within the holy hell was that? Bryan Harsin has acquired to go…Eli Drinkwitz ought to’ve been left on the tarmac. Auburn is in a really harmful spot, Nebraska-esque, if you’ll. It is unhappy seeing such terrible soccer being performed in Jordan Hare, and AU very properly might not win one other recreation this season, it performs Western Kentucky the week earlier than the Iron Bowl…the Hilltoppers aren’t any slouch. As for Mizzou, I really feel like each season there’s some tiny little bit of false hope that will get constructed up round Columbia, simply to fizzle out by October. LSU is a bit higher, however not one of the SEC Tigers are shaping up too properly this season.
