Week 1 in the college football season went about as well as possible for the SEC, with only Vanderbilt failing to win and the league subsequently having a record 10 teams ranked in the Associated Press poll including the entire SEC West.
Well, everything went well except for No. 14 LSU, which had its bizarre couple of months continue with the cancellation of its first game due to lousy weather and no one is still sure what to make of the Tigers. It now essentially has a huge showdown at No. 25 Mississippi State as season opener.
Welcome to Survivor: SEC West-syle.
We do our own Top 25 for Bleacher Report and I won't post my entire ballot, but my top 5 kicks off this week's 10 Things:
1. For now my top 5 are very tentatively Ohio State, Alabama, Baylor, Michigan State and TCU.
2. LSU's game being called won't help the Tigers, but also did Mississippi State no favors. No tape to study.
3. The right side of Wisconsin's offensive line wasn't very good, but Alabama's domination was still impressive.
4. Even after scoring 70 points Ole Miss is still way underrated.
5. I knew Myles Garrett was good, but he's taken his game to a whole new, scary-good level.
6. Biggest surprise of Week 1: Arkansas leads the SEC in passing efficiency.
7. Alabama is last in the league in penalties. That won't last.
8. Player who had a great game that few people noticed, Alabama center Ryan Kelly
9. Texas A&M adding John Chavis as defensive coordinator is already the coaching move of the year.
10. If Tennessee beats Oklahoma I'm with Les Miles, that there should be "25 SEC teams in the Top 25."
