1. Georgia: It was close for a bit, and then it wasn’t. Baring a historic upset, Georgia’s in the SEC Championship game as the teams they have left aren’t exactly top tier 2. Cincinnati: Three weeks until their showdown with SMU, the only ranked team they will play except ND and with SMU’s loss today they will probably not be ranked by the time they meet. 3. Oklahoma: Easy win against Texas Tech keeps the train moving down the track. 4. Big 10 Champion. Michigan State/OSU/Michigan/Iowa. Michigan had it but couldn’t close it out. Down:

Top 4: 1. Georgia: No game but still managed to win by its top competition looking very vulnerable. 2. Cincinnati: They barely beat Navy but they aren’t going anywhere because the team right behind them struggles just as much. Only beating a 1-7 3. Oklahoma: This is the little engine that barely could. Each week they manage to barely pull out a win. 4. Big 10 Champion. OSU/Michigan/Iowa/Michigan State/Penn State. We’ll go ahead and take Penn State out of this conversation. The Michigan/Sparty loser will join them next week. Down:
News broke on Sunday that Ed Orgeron will not return as the head football coach at LSU next season. Despite winning a National Championship with the Tigers in 2019, don’t expect LSU to give him a celebratory farewell.
According to Brody Miller of The Athletic, a flurry of incidents caused the relationship between Orgeron and LSU to deteriorate, with the most shocking moment coming when the head coach hit on the wife of a University official. Coach O allegedly pulled up next to a woman wearing exercise attire at a gas station and said, “Hey, you look like you work out. We could work out together.” According to Miller, the woman informed Orgeron that she was married and pregnant. But the championship-winning head coach didn’t mind, asking “why does that matter?” The story doesn’t claim Coach O knew who the woman was, but that likely didn’t make the woman or her husband, who turned out to be a high-ranking LSU official feel any better about the unwarranted encounter. “That woman was the wife of a high-ranking LSU official,” Miller writes for The Athletic. “Word of this reached the LSU Board of Supervisors, the collection of prominent Louisiana attorneys and business owners appointed by the governor who make the most important decisions at LSU. And of course, it reached LSU athletic director Scott Woodward.” Orgeron filed for divorce from his wife in April 2020 after 23 years of marriage. Although he may not have been infringing on his personal relationship, Coach O still violated his professional relationship with LSU. Orgeron and LSU are set to part ways following the 2021 college football season. Coach O will receive at least one giant parting gift from the school, a giant buyout. This is just funny to me. What I really love is that he's probably done this stuff his entire time there but once you start being less successful, then it is time for you to go. Top 25

Top 4: 1. Georgia: The offense is cooking; we are about to go through two months of foreplay before we can watch the titans battle it out. And they each get better each week. 2. Cincinnati: They are going to the college football playoff, baring a huge upset. Only SMU is a decent team, they don’t play any more good ones. 3. Oklahoma: I still don’t trust Oklahoma but B12 is running out of options to stop them. If they go undefeated, they are getting in. 4. Big 10 Champion. OSU/Michigan/Iowa/Penn State. 4th Place is going to the B10 as they are too competitive not to have a place. Down:

Top 4: 1. Georgia: The offense is cooking; we are about to go through two months of foreplay before we can watch the titans battle it out. And they each get better each week. 2. Iowa: An easy path to the B10 Championship Game. Where they will probably get a chance to play OSU. 3. Cincinnati: They keep on moving up, don’t expect them to fall because they are basically playing a bunch of DIII schools until they get SMU at the end of the year and step up the competition to DII. 4. Oklahoma: They benched their Heisman hopefully and got their biggest win of the year. I still think they get caught in a trap game and fall. Down:

Heisman Hype: I still don’t really care at this point in the year. For the next month we’ll get random “dark horse” candidates who have chewed up shitty competition and people are writing about them.
1. Alabama: A demoralized A&M comes next on the Tide hype train. 2. Georgia: The offense is cooking; we are about to go through two months of foreplay before we can watch the titans battle it out. And they each get better each week. 3. Penn State / Iowa Winner: Who ever wins this is in the driver’s seat to win the Big 10 and get into the playoffs. At least until they meet OSU and get their dreams crushed. 4. Cincinnati: They got the big name win they needed. Now they need ND to stay undefeated the rest of the way. They play really good football but they lose by 28 if they play either of the SEC monsters. Down:
