5 SEC, 4 in the top 10. a top heavy conference i do suppose. so do we root for auburn to go undefeated or hope that they lose two? undefeated seems more realistic and hey, we could still be in the NC if the chips fall into place, the season is young. i could see SC losing to oregon or cal or hell, even notre dame's pathetic defense. i think michigan could go undefeated, they looked very impressive, either michigan or OSU will likely remain undefeated but u never know. WVU and Louisville need to lose. amazing to see that ND can actually drop in the polls without a loss, thats gotta be a first.
