Either A&M has sold its soul to beat us, and thus, did not prepare adequately for the rest of their schedule, or they were overrated.
UCLA beating LSU is impressive. It would be impressive if LSU was no better than a year ago, because UCLA has sucked for a long time. UCLA should not be beating a mediocre LSU, is my point. To me, it means they are a pretty good team this year. Maybe even the best in the Pac 12. Not an NC contender, but could sneak into the playoff because the PAC 12 is usually so bad, that they could run the table through it just based on being good enough to beat an LSU team that's a lot more talented than they are (even if they are run by an ape).
And Oregon, going into Ohio State and winning, is a big deal. Even if Ohio State is 9-3 at best because of growing pains. It's not something an Oregon ought to be able to do.
Finally, I think Texas sucks. I think they always sucked, and I was not impressed by them beating a Louisiana team that should not even be ranked in the top 40 let alone top 25. Their ranking last year was an anomaly from a Covid year. They shouldn't have been ranked last year either. So, them going into Fayetteville and losing is not a surprise. BUT, them going into Fayetteville and getting drug up and down the field was mildly surprising and I think it proves 2 things at once: Texas is awful and Sark has a LOT of work to do, and Arkansas is much improved and will be a really tough out for most of the SEC.
