I first watched Michigan-Florida. Game was only close because the Gators had 2 pick 6s. Once again looks like the Gators offense will be mired in the swamp [pun intended] although give credit to the Maze & Blue. Despite losing all those starters Harbaugh has brought in loads of talent who were ready to step up. Those alternative uniforms for Michigan were horrible. The so-called best opening game evah between 'Bama and FSU was good for about one half until FSU self-destructed with special teams blunders and turnovers. Of course 'Bama lives off causing those blunders. Even worse for the 'Noles Deondre Francois might be out for the season. Once again Francois took a lot of hits and that might have finally catch up with FSU. Schadenfreude moment of the day: The Terrapins coming into freak city Austin and beating the Longhorns. HA HA!!!

The high point of the game for Bama was its special teams play. The defense looked better in the 2nd half, but the offense was not moving the ball. The score should have been more like 40 - 7, but the Tide failed to capitalize of the special teams gifts and interceptions.

However, RTR.

UF has next to nothing for offense. FSU has the Keystone Cops for special teams. Longhorns are the worst disaster however, inexplicable how a program of that stature is so bad, and for years now.

Schadenfreude was the exact word I used when the Terps beat UT.

Hated to see Francois go down like that. Hate it for any player.

Gamecocks found their D yesterday, let’s see if they can slow down MIZZOU next week.

The Biggest TakeAway of The Day: The Mississippi State University recording a shutout, only allowing 33 total yards, and not letting their opponent past midfield, in winning 49-0.

Sure, it was Charleston Southern, an FCS school, with a new head coach, but I've seen TMSU play horrible against such opponents.

The Mississippi State University plays Louisiana Tech next week, before playing a HUGE game at Davis-Wade Stadium against LSU on September 16.

Heisman candidate Nick Fitzgerald is already getting notice as perhaps the best QB in the SEC. Look for him in New York this coming December.

Sam Darnold and No. 4 Southern California? Overrated...

But the Trojans scored four touchdowns in the fourth quarter and won 49-31. That doesn't sound very "overrated."

Michigan should have won 45-3.

Florida needs a new coach. At least with a new AD, he should do a better job at finding one than the last guy.

Did anyone notice that the Indiana - Ohio State game on Thursday night was opened with the National Anthem as well as a flyover? It was great to see that again!
