In Part I of our look at college football this season, we discussed how you never know what’s going to happen. Trying to figure out what a bunch of college kids are going to do is like trying to write regular expressions when your slashes are flipped the wrong way and you are making typos at the same time. And boy, Ole Miss sure made some serious fat fingers when they lost in an embarrassing debacle against a team in a lower division than them, Jacksonville State. And then there was Kansas, only managing to put up a field goal, which is 3 points, against North Dakota State in the…

Georgia Drops Tennessee
The Bulldogs today keep their hunt for a National Title birth alive by knocking off the Tennessee Volunteers. A win over the Vols, who beat Georgia last year, blocking them for the National Title will likely propel the Dawgs up in the rankings after a little more movement in the top 10.
