The Oregon - Sparty game is good.  Maybe a little higher scoring than I expected, but good game for the number #5 vs #7 in week 2.

No kidding!  Way to go, Arkansas!  As bad as it looks on the SEC, they'll come back and make life hell for someone later this year.

probably LSU

Through today, Ole Miss's football team is averaging more points per game than their basketball team did last season.

Auburn got LUCKY...

The headline in the local paper was "Crisis Averted" 

SEC did not look good this week:
Arkansas got beat.
Auburn looked horrible and almost lost.
Tennessee blew a big lead at home to Oklahoma.

I watched the second half of the Tennessee game.  How they scored 17 up to that point was a mystery to me.  They looked terrible.  They couldn't tackle if the game depended on it.  What's that you say?  It DID?!  Well, that explains it. 

Watched some of the Auburn game.  Come to think of it, that was second half action, too.  Both teams looked even.  Although, JSU could only really move the ball vertically on slants, I'd do that all do long if I knew it would work every time.  Despite the Auburn transfers on the JSU D-line, these teams should not have been close. 

And Arkansas -smh-.  Is there any way we can send you back to the SouthWestern Conference?  ;)

I will say this.  The teams that won/lost close games yesterday are more likely to get something good out of it in the long run than those that blow their opponents out.  Winning 70-7 doesn't do a lot of good for the winning team, except to get some third strings playing time, but the quality of that playing time is in doubt.

You described NC State's entire September/non-conference schedule

Oh Houston Texans. You do know how to make opposing teams look good.

They have a long ways to go to get in the same league as the Browns for making other teams look good.

Yeah, the Browns continue their long history of suckitude. They're consistent.

Broncos-Ravens 4th Quarter - Broncos make the first trip to the red zone for either team, results in a field goal. Awesome :P

Lovie Smith has his usual confused look on his face, like he's an Alzheimer's patient who doesn't know where he is. Jameis Winston looks like an entitled chump who didn't exactly put in the work and figured he'd just go out and win...and I love it.

Peyton Manning looks old. Really, really old.

Detroit pulled a typical Detroit and found a way to Detroit themselves out of a win.

I also enjoyed watching the Colts lose. Ryan Grigson is the worst GM in the NFL, but he's been protected by having Andrew Luck under center.

The Saints are a mess. I have no idea what kind of team they're trying to be, and I don't think they know either.


mirth

Manning has been awful. Denver's defense has been exceptional.
