You're safe here from the hype

For yet another week, the college football pundits remain on their knees for the USC Trojans, who survived at Notre Dame only because their quarterback crossed the goal line for the winning touchdown thanks to an illegal push from behind. Oh, well.

Meanwhile, Texas still appears unstoppable, Georgia looks like a better team with each passing week, and Alabama seemed determined to give me heart palpitations Saturday. Incidentally, does anyone actually want to win the Big Ten this year?

It's your weekly college football open thread. You know the drill.
