I think anyone who did their homework on these teams knew that both defenses are pretty weak, hence me betting OVER the total. More than anything I think this game showed two things. First it demonstrated once again how much better the SEC West is versus the SEC East. And secondly it demonstrated that Texas A&M is a legitimate title contender.

Did anyone anywhere predict Vandy to be good this season?
Did anyone think they were 30 points Temple's inferior?

Texas A&M's big 24-point win over South Carolina on Thursday night paid off to the tune of more than $1 million for some Aggies fans.
The Ashley Furniture branch located in College Station, where Texas A&M is based, offered all furniture purchased from Aug. 16 through Aug. 27 for free if the Aggies beat the Gamecocks by at least 10 points.

Mark Wilks, who owns the store, told ESPN.com on Thursday night that more than 600 people bought items during that time period totaling more than $1 million in sales. One customer, Wilks said, bought $20,000 worth of furniture.
"We've wanted to do this for three or four years now," said Wilks, whose store is an official sponsor of Aggies athletics. "This was really good for us."
Wilks said that thanks to the promotion, his store had its best month of sales in the eight years it has been open.
The furniture store is not going out of business thanks to fact that Wilks took out insurance. With the Aggies a 10½-point underdog, Wilks was able to get the insurance relatively cheap. He says he'll pay the insurance company roughly 15 percent of the total that they will reimburse to customers.
Said Wilks: "We're going to have a big check-writing party at the store."
Furniture stores have been popular businesses when it comes to sports giveaways.
Massachusetts-based Jordan's Furniture famously gave away more than $30 million in furniture when the Boston Red Sox won the World Series in 2007. Houston-based Gallery Furniture said the Seattle Seahawks' Super Bowl win in February resulted in giving back $7 million in sales.
Jordan's had insurance on the promotion; Gallery Furniture said it did not.

I cheer for an SEC team, but I'm not an SEC apologist. In fact, they can all lose every game for all I care. But no, based on the last few seasons, that should not have happened. But, it's not like Vanderbilt is some traditional power.
P.S. My wife went to Vandy, so I guess I have to claim them too. That was pathetic last night. Mason has a lot of learning to do on how to be the head guy

The Southeastern Conference has reached a new milestone in The Associated Press college football poll, becoming the first league to place four teams in the top five -- all from the western division.
<!-- begin inline 1 -->[h=4]Associated Press Top 10[/h]
The SEC Western Division race carries huge national implications as four teams currently reside in the top five of the AP Poll.

<!-- end inline 1 -->Mississippi State stayed No. 1 after a weekend off. The Atlantic Coast Conference's Florida State held its ground at No. 2 after beating then-No. 5 Notre Dame 31-27.
Ole Miss remains No. 3. Alabama jumped three spots to No. 4 after a 59-0 victory against Texas A&M. Auburn moved up a spot to No. 5 during a bye week, taking advantage of losses by previously unbeaten Notre Dame and Baylor.
The Irish dropped two spots to seventh. Baylor fell to No. 12 after losing 41-27 at West Virginia.
Thirty times since 2001 a conference has placed three teams in the top five of the AP Top 25. The SEC had done it 16 times since 2009.
The Seminoles (7-0, 4-0 ACC) control their own destiny, however, as no currently ranked teams remain on the schedule.

The Bulldogs and Rebels face each other in the regular-season finale in the Egg Bowl, so one is guaranteed to end the season with a loss.
"You can say whatever you want: This team is dominant,'' FSU coach Jimbo Fisher said after beating Notre Dame. "This team understands how to win. ... This team has tremendous what I call 'adversity tolerance.' It doesn't flinch. It can deal with anything.''

Possibly, but the schedule has been pretty light thus far. But they are getting better each week and seem to have the most well-rounded team in the conference
