The SEC is AWESOME Theory – WEEK 10 UPDATE

November 6, 2014 by SouthernIrish

Welcome back for your WEEK 10 dose of AWESOMENESS, my friends. It was a big week for the SEC and in particular the SEC West as two of their three contributions to the College Football Playoff (CFP) Top 4 met on the field of battle. The #1 team in the nation (and third component of the SEC West CFP trifecta) also traveled north to see how they would fare against the last place team in their division.

"It's like deja vu all over again." - Yogi Berra Indeed, Yogi. Welcome back for another installment of "The SEC IS Awesome Theory", folks. After the chaos of last week's Bloody Saturday, scholars of the Theory knew that the SEC was poised to wrestle the #1 position away from Wile E. Winston and the Florida State Seminoles.
