Over-rated: Ole Miss and South Carolina

[WABLTY]

South Carolina looked completely unready to play more than just untalented and bad IMO. Ole Miss looked pretty decent (albeit undisciplined), but it's hard to say what beating Boise means right now.

That's not how it works. A&M will jump to the top 7 and SCAR may drop 3 spots because they lost to 'such a good team'

Look at me, stupidly calling 'top 7' realizing ESPNs love knows no bounds.

WHY NOT BUMP THEM TO THE TOP 4??

What's wrong with having them in the top 4?

Totally not making excuses for a butt-whomping, but if this had been Carolina playing Georgia to start the season, as per usual, this might have been a very different game. Still would have lost to a superior Dawgs team, but at least we're familiar with those guys - and we hate them.

Having never played A&M before, probably thinking "they ain't so scary without that Manziel fellow," and having lost their best two defensive players from last year, they got caught in the headlights. Offensively, they put up pretty good numbers. If they can get the hang of this 3-4 scheme and actually play with some emotion, they might have better outcomes down the road but we're still not a top-25 team, and we're probably looking at 4-5 losses with scores like 45-42, 38-31, etc.
