asserted
Texas → lead → win
There wasn’t even a touchdown pass thrown by Arch Manning on Saturday, but the defense ended up with over ten sacks on Vols quarterback Faizon Brandon, in what felt like a Will Muschamp defensive revival.

asserted

Two weeks after losing to Oklahoma State, the Ducks rolled into Southern Cal and once again left Trojan fans wondering when Lincoln Riley was going to win a few meaningful games.
asserted
Riley → lose → games
We don't know when Moore will return, but backup Dylan Raiola took the reigns on Saturday night and never looked back.
asserted

Not a trap, Florida earned Ole Miss' respect.
asserted
Florida → earn → respect
Oh, and if you were wondering whether Ole Miss was walking into a trap this week in Gainesville after defeating LSU last weekend, I think that would be disrespecting what Jon Sumrall is doing with the Florida Gators.
asserted
Sumrall → wonder → Gators
A 52-28 loss on the road brought the Rebels back down to reality, with Pete Golding having to regroup his team this week after a rollercoaster two-week stretch.

But make no mistake about it, the Florida Gators look nothing like the team we witnessed during the Billy Napier era.
asserted
we → make → era
And, speaking of teams we thought could get things back on track in 2026, South Carolina has itself a major problem moving forward under head coach Shane Beamer.
uncertain

Not only were they beaten 49-18 by Alabama, the Gamecocks feel like a rudderless ship, with such high expectations for quarterback LaNorris Sellers before the season began.
asserted
season → beat → Sellers
The Gamecocks lost their seventh-straight SEC game, and it doesn’t look any better moving forward.
asserted

asserted
that → look → season
In reality, this feels like a squad headed for a December bowl game, and nowhere near the Big Ten championship.
asserted
this → feel → championship
At this point, maybe it would be wise for Michigan fans to start preparing for the Ohio State game to end the season, and not get their hopes up every weekend.
asserted
fans → start → hopes
That win against Oklahoma also looks even worse by the week.
asserted
win → look → week
So, you thought Lane Kiffin would just go quiet into the night after losing to his former team last week in Oxford?
