Over the course of a 12-game regular season, we’re going to be wrong about a lot of things. Even the things we were right about are going to end up wrong, left in the hands of 18-to-however-old-Zach-Calzada-is-year-olds for three hours each Saturday.

So, ahead of Week Four, let this space serve as an unofficial Power Ranking, with one thing we got wrong about each team.

1. Georgia

Spencer Hall said it best on the Shutdown Fullcast After Dark ($) this week: “Mike Bobo is the best offensive coordinator that every fan of his team would willingly run over with a truck.”

Bobo called an excellent game on Saturday, and the Dagws won a very unexpected shootout with Tennessee. Keep an eye on this space.

2. Oklahoma

Jaydn Ott, subject of one of our favorite Gameday signs last year, hasn’t done a single thing

3. LSU

Brian Kelly still has no chill. We weren’t wrong about that, but it felt worth mentioning again. What we were wrong about is that the defense looks scary good, and the offense just seems okay so far – about the opposite of expectations.

4. Texas A&M

Marcel Reed can ball.

5. Tennessee

The Vols might actually be back to airing it out like the Hendon Hooker days, and Josh Heupel definitely won the spring quarterback trade with UCLA.

6. Ole Miss

We were wrong to not even mention that Ole Miss has a quarterback named Trinidad Campbell before now – and he looked awesome on Saturday against Arkansas.

7. Texas

Not only is Arch Manning struggling, but noted offensive genius Steve Sarkisian hasn’t been able to scheme up any easy looks for his quarterback.

8. Vanderbilt

There is no regression coming for the Commodores, this team is just so annoying to play against – and actually good.

9. Alabama

Ty Simpson might be fine.

10. Missouri

Beau Pribula, once described in this space as a “Grond-type quarterback” can also ball.

11. South Carolina

Assembling a roster like I recruit on NCAA 26 (mobile QB, fastest receiver I can find, two awesome defensive ends, sim to next week) might not make for the most sustainable season.

12. Auburn

The offense seems fine. So far.

13. Arkansas

Sam Pittman might not be done just yet, and the Hogs look more than a little scrappy heading into the meat of the season.

14. Mississippi State

The Bulldogs have already won more than the two games they did last year, which I pretty emphatically did not think would happen.

15. Florida

Yeah, it’s over.

16. Kentucky

I did not think the Wildcats would ditch the Zach Calzada experiment so quickly, so that’s nice.

LISTEN:

This song just makes me happy. If you’ve got an hour and a half to kill at any point this fall, spend it watching Stop Making Sense.

EAT:

With a small child in the house, I’ve really grown to appreciate Instant Pot recipes. Minimal cleanup and flexible finishing times let us have a nice easy dinner without needing to take turns eating and holding the baby. The Milk Street Fast and Slow cookbook has tons of great recipes, but this Butter Chicken one is a really nice weekday meal that’s a little different than what we would normally cook on a Tuesday.

Saturday Early

Arkansas at Memphis

Must-win game for the Hogs.

No. 15 Tennessee vs UAB

Would be neat for the Vols to get Trent Dilfer fired this week.

Saturday Afternoon

No. 11 Oklahoma vs No. 22 Auburn

You’re going to hear about Auburn’s Jackson Arnold getting effectively booted out of Oklahoma approximately 57 times on Saturday, and more if he plays well.

No. 13 Ole Miss vs Tulane

Trap game.

Mississippi State vs Northern Illinois

Also a trap game.

Saturday Evening

No. 23 Missouri vs South Carolina

Dropping the Gamecocks out of the rankings doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. If LaNorris Sellers is healthy, South Carolina is the better team.

Florida at No. 4 Miami

Carson Beck hasn’t lost to Florida in his college career yet.

No. 20 Vanderbilt vs Georgia State

Revenge game for the Commodores.

No. 3 LSU vs SELA

Probably a lot of good food at the tailgates for this one.

No. 8 Texas vs Sam Houston

Surely Arch is going to have a good game this week.

A really beautiful tribute by Southern University’s Human Jukebox band to former trumpet player Caleb Wilson Jr., who died in February.

Interesting uniforms of the week. Inclusion does not always equal an endorsement.

Oregon’s “Shoe Duck”

I tend to look more favorably on Oregon’s kaleidoscope of uniform combinations than most people, and this one is no different. It’s a little weird, sure, to make an entire jersey tribute to one megabooster, but it looks really, really good!

Sicko playcall of the week.

Tim Beck is currently running the Vanderbilt offense like a custom playbook from NCAA 14, when the spread option concepts were super overpowered, and it’s an absolute joy to watch. Read this entire thread of batshit calls the Dores cooked up on Saturday.

Saturday Early

No. 16 Utah vs No. 17 Texas Tech

This, but in football form.

Saturday Evening

No. 9 Illinois at No. 19 Indiana

The battle for who becomes the darling B1G sleeper arrives early this year, and both these teams are legitimately good enough to make the playoff.

We’re at the beach this week, nothing on the offering plate until next time.
