I know it's premature, but I'm having bye week withdrawal.

Why they'd have Ohio State in ahead of Georgia is beyond me, assuming they each win out with the exception of Georgia in the SECCG, and (as they do) that Penn State also makes it.

My thoughts exactly. I expect Ga- Bama to go to the SEC championship game both undefeated and ranked 1-2. The loser of the OSU-PSU game won't even be in the conference championship game. The Big ten team to watch out for may just turn out to be Wisconsin. Their schedule is really easy.

Nest matchup, but a heckuva lot of football to go.
I'm not sure Florida isn't ready to implode.
I just want us to get #6. Win that is. Then we can move up the payday chart.

Music City Bowl. We are better than that. When we win Saturday, you'll start hearing a tad bit of chatter about our guys being 6-1.
