  • Georgia Tech’s 45-year-best start has been achieved playing a style that was popular closer to 105 years ago. That’s not a bad thing. Orwin Smith was used sparingly against Maryland, prompting From The Rumble Seat to suggest abandoning the forward pass. Tongue-in-cheek, yes, but I unironically support the idea.
  • The Yellow Jackets’ rival in Athens has reemerged from an 0-2 start thanks to its stout defense. CollegeFootballZealots.com analyzes how UGa is once again “GATA”.
  • More from CollegeFootballZealots.com (can you tell I’m a fan?), this time the weekly upset alert. Spoiler alert for this week’s Saturday Six-Pack, I endorse Baylor.
  • The Michigan-Michigan State rivalry clash is another of Saturday’s big games readers can expect to see on the Six-Pack. The Michigan Man Podcast on GBMWolverine.com gets into Wolverines vs. Spartans. Michigan’s unbeaten start is attributed to Brady Hoke’s staff ability to adjust, writes Matt Snyder at Detroit Jock City.
  • Today’s news from the FCS comes via FCSFootballNetwork.com, which reported of long-time Albany head coach Bob Ford’s 250th career win. The Great Danes look like the team to beat in the NEC. North Dakota State meanwhile might be the team to beat for the whole shebang. The undefeated Bison boast one of the best defenses in college football, which FCS Roundtable contributor Kyle Roth analyzed on Bison Illustrated.
