Wait Georgia came back and took the lead?
The way Carson Beck was playing in the 1st half he would be lucky to be an UDFA instead of a 1st round choice.

He was incredible in the 2nd half. Would have been a 'heisman moment' had Georgia's defense not reverted to shitting their pants like they did in the first half.

Holy crap, #1 Bama got beat bt Vanderbilt.

Vanderbilt earned that victory with smart preparation and heads up play.
Bama's D couldn't stop Vandy's offense when it mattered most. Milroe's 2 turnovers gave Vandy 13 points and penalties against Bama helped Vandy's cause.
But credit Vandy HC Clark Lea for having his players believing and blame Bama's HC Kalen DeBoer for letting his #1 ranked team slide against a nobody opponent.
Bama fans have to be worried that maybe DeBoer isn't the right guy. He reminds me of Mike Shula when Mike was named HC of Bama in 2003 and that didn't go well.
 
Or maybe Vandy isn't a nobody team. They brought Mizzou to 2OT in their last game. That reads to me like they are not a nobody team, because they have one slip up on their schedule so far - dropping a close game to an unranked team.

Based on results, they're somewhere in the range of ND. Can't give the eye test because I haven't seen them play.

I get your point but compared to Bama they're a nobody which is the reason people are shocked at the outcome.
 
There were several upsets yesterday. Michigan,Tennessee, USC, but by far the biggest was Bama.
Although Vanderbilt was competitve last week, they were not even one of those 10 teams out of the top 25 recieving even 1 vote.

Washington 27 - Michigan 17

“(Defensive coordinator Steve) Belichick is a mastermind when it comes to play calling and giving us the responsibility to put our own futures in our own hands, being able to make the plays that he wants us to make and doing the things that we have to do to get ourselves better,” Tunuufi said. “I mean, Belichick has done a really, really nice job giving us the opportunity to just play free, like be able to do what we want.”

Hope everyone stayed up for the Miami game last night. Incredible 4th quarter.
 
What a great day for college football games. Bama vs SC, PSU vs USC, OSU vs Oregon, Ole Miss vs LSU just to name a few.
Plus a great opportunity to see players in the upcoming draft play football in competitive games.
 
ND looked shakey early, and fearsome after the first ugly run. The team is getting better as the year goes along. For all the fun people poke at their schedule, they don't have a joyride the rest of the way. Army and Navy haven't exactly played murderer's rows, but both are undefeated and have been absolutely thrashing their opponents, both are now ranked. USC is 3-3, but is no joke. OT loss to PSU, FG loss to Michigan...they can beat anyone on any given day.
