A wild 51-44 game between Georgia and Tennessee didn’t have the look, feel or final score of your typical SEC showdown.

It’s the gift and the curse of college football in September: You can’t trust anyone. A team which looks like world-beaters one week will be terrible the next.

No. 12 Texas at Oklahoma State Saturday, 7:50pm Eastern, Fox Line: Texas -3 Alright folks, time to lace 'em up real tight, it's conference football season.
