If the 2023 season is going to get messy, it might start Saturday. Georgia faces a ranked team. OU and Texas suddenly have competition for the Big 12 title game. Plus, there's LSU-Bama.
Connelly on Week 10: Madness or mundanity in the SEC? Showdowns or separation in the Big 12? Last stand in L.A.?
By Saturday night, either the SEC race will have been thrown into absolute chaos or it will have basically ended. If Missouri upsets Georgia in Athens for the first time since 2013, it will set up a mad, two- or three-team dash toward the SEC East title. If LSU knocks off Alabama in Tuscaloosa, it could create a three-way logjam atop the SEC West. And if the favorites win, we're almost certainly looking at Georgia vs. Alabama again in the SEC Championship Game.
In a sense, Missouri actually provided the blueprint for this a year ago in a near-upset in Columbia. The Tigers' defense attacked the line of scrimmage with vigor and dared Georgia's Stetson Bennett to beat tight coverage with downfield passing. Meanwhile, Missouri generated five gains of 25-plus yards and held a 10-point lead with 10 minutes left before Georgia charged back to win 26-22.
It might be worth mentioning that against the best defense they've faced the Tigers managed only 24 points, seven after halftime, and Bama's defense grades out quite a bit better than FSU's. But that game was two months ago, and Daniels has achieved a higher plane of existence at this point. Texas is the best team the Wildcats have faced, and the Longhorns are justifiably favored. But now's exactly when you want to play them. They cruised past BYU last Saturday, 35-6, in their first game without injured quarterback, but that was mainly due to a defense that allowed just 4.4 yards per play, forced three turnovers and gave the offense spectacular field position: Three of UT's four offensive touchdowns came on drives that started inside the BYU 40....
