-In the past NFL Draft, Texas didn't have a single player drafted.  Why is this worth noting?  Because if you look back at the Longhorns' three recruiting classes that would have been eligible for that draft, you would shocked.  According to Rivals.com's recruiting rankings, Texas's recruiting classes from 2009 to 2011 were ranked 5th, 3rd, and 3rd, and yet somehow none of those players were taken by an NFL team.  How is that possible?  Sure, you might whiff on a couple guys, but that many?  Truly amazing.

-Craziest Stat of the Week - Michigan played its third ever night game at home.

-Fun Fact - Dolph Lundgren, aka Ivan Drago, briefly went to Clemson.

SEC West v. SEC Least Update!!!

I honestly think the SEC West could go undefeated against the SEC East this season.  As of right now, the SEC West is 4-0 against the SEC East and if the East is going to get a win against the West, it might have to be this weekend when Georgia travels to Arkansas.  If they don't pull it off, I don't know who will and my prediction will come to fruition.  Stay tuned for more updates.

-Well, another 2-4 week last week, but I'm totally cool with that because of Clemson's way-too-close win against Louisville.  I probably would have done better if I hadn't of doubted both of the Mississippi schools like I did.  Let's hope I learned my lesson.  Probably not.  I guarantee a winning week or your money back.

-Last Week's Funniest College GameDay Sign:

"The first one was funny, but the second one is hilarious for all the wrong reasons, and that's why I picked it, too."

-Alright, enjoy the eighth week of college football.
