Last weekend's upsets look like the beginning of a topsy-turvy college football season.
This week will mark the first loss for either Oregon or OSU. Whichever team wins this has the pole position, schedule-wise for the top spot, though OSU, IMO has the tougher schedule ahead, playing @ PSU.
Of course, PSU is coached by Frames Janklin, so they could just as easily lose at home to USC this week, as beat OSU at home the following week.
Can Texas get revenge on Oklahoma from last season? If so, next week could either mark Texas' first loss or a stunning 2nd loss for pre-season #1 UGA. If not, Texas and UGA will be looking to avoid loss #2.
Bama was #1 last week, but is now a 1 loss team with road games at Tennessee, LSU, and Oklahoma still on their schedule- Losing an unexpected one to Vandy and looking at other more challening games on their schedule leads me to believe that Bama will have a hard time coming out unscathed without a 2nd loss.
Texas A&M has a good schedule going forward and may not be challenged to lose their 2nd game (maybe LSU at home?), until they face Texas in Austin.
If Miami doesn't lose at Louisville, they could run the table with the most dipsh!t schedule ever.
No Clemson, no ND, no Pitt this year, and they were bailed out for wins with some odd calls vs Va Tech and Cal. Miami isn't good, but that schedule...
The Big 12 has Iowa State and BYU as undefeated teams, with Texas Tech at the top of the leage at 3-0, and 5-1 overall. This league looks like one where any one of 7-8 teams could win, Colorado and Utah among them.
Notre Dame is a one-loss program with what is now the 2nd-worst loss of the season so far, at home to NIU (Vandy beating Bama is now #1). ND also has a great win in College Sattio vs A&M, which sadly makes them a sleep for a top spot. But they will probably, as usual drop another, maybe even before they face USC on the road for their last game.
Crazier still, the #3 recruiting class is Auburn, which attracts recruits to an 0-3 SEC (2-4 overall) slopfest of a program, and bottom-dwellers in the SEC.
People can continue the "it's NIL" chant, but there are at least 6 programs in just the SEC conference alone that have a huge reputation for spending, and also are winning, which really makes the flips from ND and other better programs illiogical.
When a class looks like Auburn's considering their record, I would look back to Auburn in December and see how many of their paid verbals actually sign, as they will have one of the worst records in the nation at 2-4 with games left @ UK and Missou and vs Bama and Texas A&M. They probably pencilled in a W vs Vandy, but NOT SO FAST.
The key piece of giveaway proof that Auburn isn't possibly going to bring in a top 5 class to a losing program is the fact that, of the top 32 recruting classes, Auburn is the only one with a losing record currently. They remind me of UF's early recruiting class that was top 5 in verbal commits in 2024, but ended up 15th nationally after the actual football playing part sucked...Fla$h but no substance, gets beat by fla$h and substance 99% of the time.
