Butch Jones job is officially on the line in Knoxville. 

1.I love that Washington State beat USC. It gives Mike Leach’s program street cred and puts them in the national conversation in terms of the college football playoff.

2. Clemson continues to prove that not only are they the best team in the ACC. They might be the best team in the country. Yes. I said that.

3. Speaking of the current “best team in the country” Alabama has outscored SEC opponents 125-3 thus far this season. Let that sink in for a minute. The Tide are “rolling” right now. Sorry. I had to.

4. There is no way Butch Jones survives beyond this season in Knoxville. Losing to Georgia 41-0 at home might have been the death kneel.

5. Remember the good ol days. You know. When Mississippi State was a legit contender in the SEC West. Since then they have gotten drubbed by Georgia and Auburn. The LSU win means nothing now.

6. Oklahoma State, Texas Tech was a disappointing game. The final score was 41-34 Oklahoma State. Both teams actually played defense and the end result was a boring game by Big 12 standards.

7. San Diego State is morphing into this season’s Western Michigan. You might want to start paying attention to the Aztecs.

8. Can people stop bashing LSU for hiring Ed Orgeron. Who do they really think wanted that job? Once Tom Herman backed out last winter, LSU had no choice but to hire Coach O. People weren’t lining up in Baton Rouge looking to take the job.

9. Penn State will have their hands full with Northwestern this weekend. Just ask Wisconsin.

10. Miami whacked Duke last week in what was an impressive road win. This week they travel to Tallahassee to battle the Noles in what is another big game for Mark Richt’s team. If Miami wins this weekend, they are no longer a sleeper.
