The best thing that happened this weekend was in the three games that mattered the most, the SEC got its collective ass kicked up and down the field. Utah over Florida. North Carolina over South Carolina. Florida State over LSU. Neither game was even remotely close.
The only game of consequence won by the SEC was Tennessee over Virginia, who lost their standout QB in the transfer portal and is supposed to be awful.But you won't hear a word about this from the Gameday guys, Paul Finebaum or the usual SEC apologists. D’Sean Perry, Lavel Davis Jr. and Devin Chandler were also shot and killed at the end of last season. They canceled the final two games of Virginia's season last year as a result. I am curious to see how Virginia responds the rest of the season. I heard one of the announcers say that Virginia would be honoring them prior to this weekend's game - first home game since it happened. |

The last time that both Duke and Oregon State started a season a combined 13-2 or better? November 15, 1941. Japan made its final offer to avoid war with the United States five days later (which was a lie designed to buy time), and the Kidō Butai began leaving Japanese waters for the attack on Pearl Harbor four days thereafter (before the Untied States had an opportunity to respond). This was all, of course, after more than two years of war in Europe. Duke and Oregon State's combined Game 15 is October 28, 2023. More stuff like this. AP Poll just came out. This is the first time that Duke and Oregon State were ranked in the same AP Poll since October 24, 1960, when the two teams were tied for 15th. Oregon State would lose to California 14-6 the Saturday following, which removed the Beavers from the subsequent rankings. Duke and Oregon State have not finished a season ranked in the same final AP Poll since December 1, 1941. The next day, Admiral Yamamoto sent the six fleet carriers of the Kidō Butai the coded transmission, "Climb Mount Niitaka," the final order to attack Pearl Harbor. An abort could have been given after that point, but the attack on Pearl Harbor was supposed to commence unless the fleet received the abort instruction, which, tragically, it never did. |
