Round and round the chaos goes. Where it stops, the Index knows.

1. Texas - At this point, you can all but pencil the 'Horns in at the top spot for the rest of the season. If they're concerned about attendance in Austin now, how will things look if they start 1-7 after they spend some quality time with both Oklahoma schools, TCU, and K-State? Even that 527 yards of total offense that Jerrod Heard ran up might be a little dubious considering who he did it against.

1. Pac-12 South - Most. Overrated. Division. Ever. Said differently: when UCLA escaping by the skin of their teeth over a razor's edge BYU is your big positive of the week, while Southern Cal gets bulldozed by the team that couldn't score on Northwestern and the Arizona schools feast on (Arizona) or squeak by (ASU) a steady diet of cupcakes (not counting ASU's maiming in College Station, of course), you're not COLLEGE FOOTBALL'S BEST DIVISION!!!, are you?

1. SEC West - It's playing out just like you expected, isn't it? The Alabama schools are in charge, while LSU, TAMU and Ole Miss are probably a year away. Chaos is usually quite entertaining, but this might take the football-shaped tailgate party cake.

1. USC - So maybe things aren't all better in Heritage Hall, given that Stanford just lit the Trojans up for more points than they did Northwestern and Central Florida combined. Has the "distracted coach" talk started yet in Troy?

1. USC - Congratulations on making the guy who couldn't win the starting gig in Charlottesville look like Peyton Manning on Saturday. (Though you did force him to miss on one of his 25 passes, so that's something!)

1. The Fightin' Petrinos - Check it out! Paulie Walnuts ran up their first victory of the year...and by three points against Wofford at that. This week, Bob-o gets his chance - Samford Bulldogs...come on down!

1. Auburnt - Apparently, last week's little tussle with Jacksonville State wasn't exactly a fluke. That said, congratulations on keeping all the LSU running backs not named Leonard Fournette to an average of 6.5 yards a carry (while playing a team that can't pass the ball), Tigers. Oh, and good luck scrubbing his tire tracks off your backs before Dak Prescott adds a bunch more next week.

1. Arkansas - Stupid things we wrote in the preseason: "[I]magine what happens when the Hogs get done with that lollipop nonconference schedule and dive headlong into the SEC West." It seems that the Hogs chose not to wait.

1. The U - They're undefeated and fans are flying Fire Al Golden banners over Coral Gables...and that was before they blew a 23-point lead to the sorta-hated Huskers and lucked out a win in OT. Can you imagine the atmosphere when they get blasted by "welcome" Clemson next month?

1. Nebraska - This is where the new coach usually utters the words, "We just need to learn how to win close games." Say the words "moral victory" in Lincoln and see how fast the locals run you out of town.
