Looks a lot more resonable than the ap though I'm not quite sold on tcu

 

See that, we haven't even played a game yet and we're shooting straight to the top.

 

If they're right about Arkansas, could be some opportunities to make some money early.

 

We should refuse to take the field. We could be top ten soon.

 

The media hype train will be supersonic if Arkansas and UT are 4-0 heading into that matchup.

It'll instantly be with UGA/Bama as the most important game of that weekend in the SEC. Perhaps even more if Bama slips to Wisc or Ole Miss (not likely, though).

 

There's a chance that happens. Knock on wood. Cross my fingers. Rub my rabbit's foot.

 

Oh man, Tennessee is 1-0 when both teams meet undefeated in my lifetime. Y'all better hope I don't die.

 

I'll send over that hot doctor to make sure you get stay safe and healthy.

 

11 SEC schools huh? But I thought the major polls overrated the SEC to everyone else's detriment. At least that's the narrative in the ESPN comments.

 

The latter is about as likely as the former.
