Okay, not bad, going in the right direction. We were the preseason No. 5, moved up to No. 4 after Week One, but fell back down to No. 6 after Week Two, and now we're back at No. 5.
Oregon cruised past Northwestern, 34-14, but apparently that wasn't good enough for the pollsters, because they dropped the No. 4 Ducks down to No. 6. No. 5 Miami moved up to Oregon's old No. 4 spot, and the Bulldogs took Miami's old No. 5 spot.
Speaking of Miami, to no one's surprise, they beat South Florida Saturday, 49-12, and took possession of the college football lineal championship belt and Georgia's 2021 and 2022 national championship rings (South Florida won them from Florida the weekend before). Miami plays Florida next weekend, but if you think they're beating Miami and winning back the belt and rings, then you cray-cray.
Notre Dame lost, 41-40, to Texas A&M and are now 0-2, but still in the AP Top 25 for some reason, albeit No. 24. But that's just another reason why I hate Notre Dame - even when they go winless, the pollsters still feel compelled to include them among the best in the country.
Alabama (2-1), Georgia's next opponent after a bye week for both teams, beat Wisconsin, 38-14, and moved up the poll from No. 19 to No. 14.
By the way, the SEC went 12-3 on Saturday. The SEC teams that lost games, Tennessee, South Carolina, and Florida, all lost to other SEC teams, Georgia, Vanderbilt, and LSU, respectively. Just saying.
With Georgia off this weekend, the only game on Saturday worth paying any attention to, other than Miami-Florida for belt reasons, will probably be the SEC showdown between No. 11 Oklahoma (3-0) and No. 22 Auburn (3-0). The Sooners are favored by 6½ points, but I'd like to see Auburn win the game because I don't think Oklahoma belongs in the SEC.
