Starting yesterday and continuing with today Rivalry Week has already turned out some WILD outcomes I am not sure many people saw coming.

#7 Georgia taking 8 OT to beat Georgia Tech
Unranked Michigan Toppling #2 Ohio State
#15 South Carolina beating #12 Clemson
Currently #13 Alabama is only beating unranked Auburn 7-3 late in the second quarter
Currently #5 Notre Damn is only beating unranked USC 14-7 late in the second quarter
#6 Miami is struggling with unranked Syracuse leading them 21-14

Then we have the night games which I do not see disappointing us. We have 6 ranked games with Texas at Texas A&M being the most important since a berth to the SEC Championship is on the line (I am also biased as an A&M Former Student and I come from a House Divided).

I watched the 8 OTs last night. That was fun.

Also saw Miami blow it against Syracuse. Cost me my parlay. Oh well.

Man if ND and Miami both lose today it is going to be a wild reevaluation of how good either of those two teams are. ND isn't in a conference which as a two-loss team is going to hurt more than it helps and Miami will end up not playing for the ACC Championship as SMU would be undefeated and Clemson would only have one conference loss with Miami having two.

Miami also has yet to win OR lose to against an AP or Coach poll top 25 team.... Something not only no other ranked team has dealt with BUT something something that most teams in the Power 4 haven't faced. I mean they are in the same league as North Carolina and TCU for facing no one ranked (while they were ranked).

A 2 loss Ohio State or Tennesee could punch tickets instead. People could really lobby to for a 3 loss South Carolina who has won 6 straight to end up at 9 and 3
