Some thoughts on week 11

Alabama's loss shakes things up a bit. Some thoughts on this and the rest of week 11:
  • Is this the end of the SEC challenge for the title? Probably unless 2 of Oregon, Kansas State and Notre Dame lose a game. By adding Texas A&M, the SEC may lose the national title.
  • Is the SEC paying a price for having too many good teams? There are 6 teams with 1 or 2 losses who have all beaten and lost to each other. Has this made the schedule too tough for anyone to remain undefeated?
  • How good was Johnny Manziel? First time I've seen a full game and I was very impressed. His ability to extend the play and throw on the run both ways accuratley is brilliant.
  • Another good solid win for both Kansas State and Notre Dame although neither really did anything more than that.
  • Oregon were again impressive, though the next 2 games will test them more.
  • Good win for Stanford. How their defence copes with Oregons offence next week should be interesting.
  • As expected, Georgia wrapped up the SEC East title, and Auburn showed just how far they have fallen in the last 2 years.
  • Florida got out of jail. They really shouldn't have needed to block a last minute punt to win that game. 
  • Louisville and Alabama's loss means there are 4 undefeated teams remaining. It will be interesting to see where Ohio State are in the AP poll.
  • And there was yet another basketball score game (Georgia Tech 68 North Carolina 50). There's been a few of those this season.
  • My Current top 5 - Kansas State, Oregon, Notre Dame, Alabama, Georgia.
