2018-19 NCAA Football (Week 6)

Games I saw (some of):
(19) Texas 48-45 (7) Oklahoma
Fun game! Man, OU could not stop UT at all, felt like Texas was gonna score every time they touched the ball, kept building their lead. I was kinda shocked that OU came back and made a game of it. But Texas got the final drive, nailed the FG to preserve the W after it felt like they might squander the lead. Not sure why Oklahoma wasn't the better team, if the Texas offense is always this good then why don't they win more? Good win for Texas, tough loss for Oklahoma.

(5) LSU 19-27 (22) Florida
I was in and out of this game, kept waiting for LSU to step up but they never did. Florida looked pretty good on both sides, controlled this game against a superior LSU team. Good W for Florida, not a good loss for LSU (looking ahead to UGA?)


Top 25
Handled their business
(1) Alabama, (2) Georgia, (3) Ohio State, (4) Clemson, (6) Notre Dame, (9) West Virginia, (10) Washington, (12) Central Florida, (15) Michigan, (16) Wisconsin, (19) Texas, (21) Colorado, (22) Florida, (23) North Carolina State

Got it done but did not impress
(17) Miami (I dunno, man, I've never been a Mark Richt fan and I'm still not; I've watched Florida State, I'm convinced they are not any good at all this year but they should've won this game and that's not good for the U)

Bad beat
(13) Kentucky (yeah, I'm a homer, but if you told me at the beginning of the year that UK was gonna go to Texas A&M and lose in OT, I would've thought that was a pretty good result, so I'm sticking by that; UK has had a nice season and they've still got a favorable schedule, they're gonna keep getting W's, this is not a bad L for them)
(24) Virginia Tech (Notre Dame is starting to get their roll on, Tech might've had a shot in Week 2 but this was just not their week)

Not so good
(5) LSU (they should be better than Florida but they didn't look it this week)
(7) Oklahoma (feels like OU should've been ready for this game but they were back pedaling the whole time)
(8) Auburn (oh man, they got stuck by Mississippi State, not a good look)
(14) Stanford (Pac-12 is dangerous, Stanford doesn't look to be better than middle of the Pac)
(20) Michigan State (are they any good? Is there any reason to think they're a top 20 team?)
(25) Oklahoma State (uhhh, this is their second time of giving up big points to an unranked team at home this year, why do they keep getting ranked?)
