TOP STORYLINES
–It seems like everybody and their mom thought LSU was going to defeat the Rebels on Saturday, myself included, so I can not say that i am stunned. There may be nonetheless a manner for Brian Kelly and the Tigers to finagle their manner into the SEC Championship, which is ludicrous to even take into consideration. Alabama additionally comes right down to Loss of life Valley, so we’ll then see if there’s gonna be any kind of magical run out of the bayou boys then. As for Ole Miss, have enjoyable in Faculty Station subsequent weekend…I feel?

–I really feel unhealthy for Mississippi State, i am going to say it. Somebody needed to be the crew dealing with Alabama after a loss like that, sadly. All of these Alabama followers who known as into the Paul Finebaum present this week to say that Nick Saban had lastly misplaced a step must be ashamed. Make no mistake, the Crimson Tide are going NOWHERE. All of us is likely to be saying ‘thanks lots” and ‘have a look at what you probably did” to Tennessee on the finish of the season, if it seems that the Vols wakened the beast down the stretch.
IT JUST MEANS…LESS
–Once I noticed the slate for this weekend, and laid my eyes on that lovely matchup between Missouri and Vanderbilt, I simply could not wait to throw it in right here, due to course the sport was going to finish 17-14. Mizzou simply loves to hold round with each crew they play, no matter ability degree. Actually, I additionally thought higher of Vandy’s offense, and for that I used to be dreadfully unsuitable. Some issues by no means change, and this was, and sure will proceed to be a backside feeder recreation between two backside feeder applications. Somebody name the Sickos Committee.
-Texas A&M. I am not fairly certain what to even say about that one. No disgrace in direction of South Carolina, however the trajectory of those applications should not be in the identical stratosphere, but right here we’re watching the Gamecocks and Shane Beamer choose up one other huge win. That seat is just a little scorching for Jimbo Fisher, little doubt. It isn’t like anybody down there may be going to do something about it this season, however nonetheless, it is just a little heat.
-Tennessee! Does not matter for those who hung over 60 on these poor FCS gamers, I am taking a ‘Whose Line Is It In any case?’ method with this one. Sure the factors do not matter, however within the eyes of myself (pretending to be Drew Carey), 24 factors is possibly just a few too many for the Skyhawks to be scoring in a midday kick inside Neyland.
