    It's more valuable than ranking a **** conference like the Big 12.

      It looks like Butch Jones and the Tennessee Vols are only about 3 quarters of the way done with the rebuild in Knoxville. Vols looked incredibly good in the first half, decent in the third quarter, and abysmal in the 4th. This team now holds the record for allowing the largest lead to ever be overcome in Neyland by the Vols. Moving in the right direction, but still a year away from being a real contender.

        For Slowwhand:

        Texas 3 @ Notre Dame 38
        Rice 28 @ Texas 42

        Is Texas good and Notre Dame REALLY good or is Texas just mediocre? We should know more after next week.

          Uh, Drake? Check the current Top 5 and then STFU.

          Ditto to you, Robin.

            It was actually a much better week for the Pac overall... just a bad week for the state of Oregon. Both Oregon teams lost to Michigan teams. **** you, Guy!

            I daresay that if Mariota was still the Oregon QB, the Ducks would have won that game. At least they beat the spread, eh? I think Oregon is a 10-2 team this year at best: too many losses in what was already not the greatest of defenses, relative to other highly-ranked teams. The secondary is frighteningly porous...

            That all being said, I think it's fair that Oregon is #12 and the top-ranked 1-loss team at the moment. They're lucky they get their top conference opponents such as Utah and USC at home. But right now the games at ASU and Stanford look much less concerning.

            Pac-12 ranked:

            1. USC - look dominant. Likely conference champs.

            2. UCLA
            3. Oregon
            4. Utah

            5. Arizona
            6. Cal
            7. Arizona State
            8. Stanford

            9. Washington
            10. Oregon State
            11. Colorado
            12. Washington State

            Loved the Auburn struggle w/ Jacksonville State. Too bad the Gamecocks couldn't seal the deal. But since they dropped 12 places, why the **** did Notre Dame rise in the AP poll, considering they needed a miraculous play to beat Virginia? Bull****. Florida State should have dropped as well, given their struggle against might South Florida, but rose 2 places instead.

              After week 2
              offense - about as expected
              defense - surprisingly decent
              I think you're underestimating Cal a bit. Goff might be the best QB in the conference, except maybe for Kessler. I expect them to have 7 wins at least, which is a pretty dramatic improvement.

                Did the Big 12 institute a conference championship game this year?

                No?

                Get ready to be left out of the playoffs again, Sloww.

                  Cal 45 - Texas 44

                  Aww, too bad Sloww

                  But at least Texas has played some real teams. It's too early to say how good the Big 12 really is since they've been pretty much scheduling pancakes to date. Next week, they'll have to start playing each other.

                    I believe you mean "cupcakes," not "pancakes..."

                    And no celebration here of Alabama getting steamrolled by Ole Miss at home??? And USC losing at home to Stanford???

                      After Cal vs. Texas, I turned my attention to Pro Football for the weekend. I have no real love/hate for either Alabama or Ole Miss. As for Stanford and USC, I hate them both. I would have needed something like what happened in the Dallas vs. Philly game: Stanford winning, but losing their starting QB to a broken collarbone.

                        I am happy to see the Tide go down.

                          Cal wins again! I could get used to this.

                          Looks like Texas needs a new special teams coach.

                              I'm really liking this game for some reason...

                                At least a flop of position.
