While I’m still waiting on my 2nd bye week, here are 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after Week 10 in and around the SEC.

10. Sit Tua and use that as an excuse if you lose to LSU? What?

I heard some crazy stuff last week. A few folks suggested that Nick Saban should sit Tua, like he’s Max Scherzer, against LSU. The thought being: The Tide certainly would get a Playoff mulligan if Tua doesn’t play, LSU wins and the Tide don’t make the SEC Championship Game. You know, because Alabama obviously would have beaten the Tigers had Tua played.

I nearly lost my mind.

Are you kidding? There are only 4 Playoff teams. If Alabama doesn’t beat LSU, there is a reasonable chance that it won’t have a single victory over a team that finishes the regular season in the Top 25.

If Tua legitimately can’t go, that’s another topic entirely. But the thought that Saban would sit even an 85% Tua and the Playoff committee would excuse a home loss is laughable on every single front.

First, Saban is not wired that way. If Tua can move, Tua is playing.

Second, Tua is not wired that way.

Third, don’t think for a second that the committee has forgotten what Clemson did to Alabama. And this Tide defense is younger and quite possibly not as good as that defense was. The aura is gone. And so, too, is the benefit of doubt.

Fourth, and it’s worth repeating, there are only 4 Playoff spots. Nobody gets a mulligan, especially when your signature win to date is against … Texas A&M?

Maybe more so than any other year, because of its weak schedule, Alabama has to earn its way into the Playoff, just like every other team.

There is virtually nothing to fall back on if Alabama loses to LSU and doesn’t make it to the SEC Championship Game.

If Tua can’t play, we have a word for that: Football.

9. Let’s get rid of the double-bye week seasons, OK?

It’s a calendar thing. It has to do with how many Saturdays there are from Labor Day weekend to Thanksgiving weekend. In the simplest terms, there usually are 13 Saturdays. Occasionally, there are 14, like this year.

So every team gets a double bye.

The rest isn’t the issue. The resulting slate of games is the issue.

Even in a traditional 13-week season, there aren’t enough blockbusters. Throw in an extra bye, and you get weeks like Saturday, in which 9 of the Top 25 teams and 20 of 65 Power 5 teams were idle.

It’s never a good thing when we spend most of a week talking about the following week.

8. Wake Forest is going to get some coaches fired

The Demon Deacons, with their small enrollment, lofty academic standards and empty trophy case, crushed NC State to improve to 7-1. Two weeks ago, they knocked off Florida State. Earlier this season, they beat Mack Brown and UNC.

The Deacs are a field goal from being undefeated and already have secured a 4th consecutive bowl appearance. A New Year’s 6 bowl game is in play.

Dave Clawson deserves a ton of credit — and some national coach of the year votes.

But the biggest takeaway is this: If Wake Forest can do it, there is absolutely no excuse for anybody else in the country. I’m looking at you, Arkansas, Vanderbilt, Mississippi State.

7. I mean, if you’re going to review it and still get it wrong …

This play clearly and indisputably is an incomplete pass. Except officials ruled it a catch, reviewed it, and confirmed it as a catch.

Brad and Gary couldn’t believe it. Neither could their rules expert.

All they could do was laugh.

It’s not a laughing matter. Florida-Georgia wasn’t a Playoff game, but it very well might decide who makes the Playoff.

It was a terrible call and a worse review. And it came on a 3rd-down play that set up Georgia’s only TD of the 1st half.

Should have been 6-0. Instead, it was 10-0.

We say it every week, and every week the officials find a way to top themselves.

It’s in the running.

6. Matt Luke deserves another year

You are what your record says you are?

Not always.

Ole Miss lost to Auburn and fell to 3-6, 2-4 in the SEC. The Rebels still have to play LSU, which means their slim bowl hopes are as close as possible to being extinct without actually forfeiting the game.

I don’t care.

I like what I see. I especially like the fire the Rebels showed against Auburn. They play hard for Matt Luke. The freshmen are making plays. John Rhys Plumlee isn’t the most accurate QB in Ole Miss history, but, man, is he fun to watch.

And I watched. Until the end, too. If Ole Miss doesn’t commit a holding penalty to wipe out a 30-yard completion, who knows how that game ends. But because of Plumlee’s ability to make plays, I couldn’t turn away.

5. Bottom 5 of Power 5

The worst of the weak, in order of ineptitude, because the alphabet is far too forgiving.

1. Arkansas (SEC): Rinse and repeat. Is it over yet? I mean, it’s been over for a while. Is it officially over? Even Chad Morris knows it’s over.

2. Nebraska (Big Ten): How far has Nebraska football fallen? Back-to-back losses to IU and Purdue mean the Cornhuskers are the No. 4 team … in Indiana. (They’d beat Ball State, right?)

3. Florida’s offense (SEC): 42 yards rushing from the 2 running backs isn’t going to cut it. Neither will 2-for-9 on 3rd down. That’s the 2nd consecutive year Kirby Smart’s defense has gotten the better of Dan Mullen’s offense. Mullen insisted the Gators are 7 points away. Technically, true, but it sure seems like that drive is starting at their own 2.

4. FSU (ACC): The Seminoles just lost to Miami for the 3rd consecutive time. They’re in danger of losing 2 consecutive to Florida, too. But Willie Taggart has a plan, so …

5. NC State (ACC): After losing at Wake Forest, the Wolfpack fell to 0-4 on the road. The culprit? They haven’t packed their defense. It was the 3rd time they’ve allowed 40+ points as the visiting team. At least somebody in a Wolfpack helmet enjoyed Week 10 …

4. The 4 Playoff teams are …

No. 1 LSU, No. 2 Clemson, No. 3 Ohio State, No. 4 Alabama

Three of those teams were idle. Clemson blew out Wofford. I’m confident the Playoff committee will have the same 4 teams when they unveil the initial rankings Tuesday night, but I won’t be surprised if 2-3-4 are in a different order.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Georgia jumped Penn State and debuted at No. 5, either. The Dawgs have 2 wins over top 10 teams. Penn State is undefeated but hasn’t even played a team ranked in the top 15.

3. What about Baylor?

The Bears are 8-0. It’s worth mentioning the obvious: Every undefeated Power 5 team has made the Playoff, including Clemson, Alabama and Notre Dame last year.

Here’s the thing: Baylor has won 3 home games against average teams by margins of 2, 3 and 3 points.

There’s nothing to suggest that this Baylor team is capable of beating Oklahoma once, much less the 2 times it would take to run the table and earn a bid.

2. And Minnesota?

See: Baylor.

Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck made an impassioned plea for College GameDay to visit next week as the Gophers host Penn State in a battle of unbeatens.

Paul Finebaum and Kirk Herbstreit were among those who supported the idea.

GameDay instead chose Tuscaloosa, where the Tide will host LSU in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown.

That’s too bad. I wish GameDay would have selected Minnesota. Why?

The fall is always harder when the hype is the loudest. And it’s time the rest of the country actually pays attention to how weak the Big Ten West is.

Penn State, on the road, by double digits.

1. Jake Fromm threw 30 passes in a game — and Georgia won

Rejoice: We can officially put that narrative to bed.

Georgia had been 0-5 when Fromm attempted at least 30 passes.

I’ve pointed out several times that the stat was misleading, anyway. Fromm played great in both losses to Alabama.

But now it’s no longer a thing.

His 30th pass Saturday? The 22-yard rainbow to Eli Wolf on 3rd-and-7 to ice the game.

And Kirby Smart used it as an opportunity to remind folks how special his QB is. He chided Dawgs fans and media who doubted Fromm.

Georgia has beaten 2 top 10 teams and still hasn’t played its best football. Neither has Jake Fromm.

Saturday felt like a turning point for the Dawgs. Maybe Smart, too, who got the best of Dan Mullen yet again.
