Butch Jones said it was “unacceptable.”

He was talking specifically about his Volunteers, I think, but it was hard to tell after some of the stuff I saw Saturday.

Here are 10 things I’m absolutely overreacting to after Week 4 in the SEC, starting with that mess in Knoxville.

10. Tennessee is the worst 3-1 Power 5 team in the country: The Vols needed its 4-minute offense to grind out first downs to put away 0-4 UMass. At home.

And could not do it.

On a 3rd-and-3 with the clock trickling toward 2 minutes, John Kelly was stopped short on a draw from the Pistol. UMass couldn’t capitalize, but that’s misleading, immaterial and irrelevant; the Vols’ next four opponents certainly can.

Not sure which was worse: That offensive showing (58 yards, 3 points in the second half), or the fact Jones felt compelled to call a timeout when UMass faced 4th-and-forever on its own 17 with 26 seconds left. Florida, you know.

Afterward, Jones was asked what the Vols needed to clean up.

“Everything,” he said.

He wasn’t kidding.

9. Does anybody trust their QB in this league? Last week it was Jim McElwain. This week it was Kevin Sumlin.

The Aggies gained a first down at Arkansas’ 10 with 26 seconds left. Rather than rushing to the line to spike the ball and preserve time in an attempt to win, the Aggies let the clock roll. They called timeout after a short run with 8 seconds left and then kicked a short field goal to force overtime.

Who won it for the Aggies in OT? The same freshman QB Sumlin didn’t trust to win it in regulation: Kellen Mond, with a patient 10-yard TD throw to Christian Kirk from the same spot the Aggies chose to kick earlier.

Mond was sensational throughout. He opened with an 81-yard TD pass to Kirk, scrambling to set it up, and finished with his first 200-100 yard game.

8. McElwain certainly doesn’t: Luke Del Rio came in Saturday at Kentucky and provided the spark McElwain was seeking.

Credit Del Rio for his poise, but not his play-making. Kadarius Toney and Brandon Powell, in particular, drove that unlikely comeback.

McElwain has a decision to make. After yanking Feleipe Franks twice, it sure seems like he’s already made it.

7. OK … Will Muschamp does: Obligatory: “It should have never come to this …” But it did, and it could have been so much worse.

Third-and-10 at his 21, 51 ticks remaining. Down two. No timeouts and not a ton of hope, either.

In a two-play microcosm of his brief career, Jake Bentley saved South Carolina. Again.

The 24-yard scramble was wild enough. The 41-yard clutch completion was even better.

Again, South Carolina should have never needed a last-minute drive and field goal to beat Louisiana Tech. But it did. And Bentley delivered.

6. Kirby Smart certainly does, too: I wasn’t sold on Jake Fromm over Jacob Eason, but part of that could have been by design. Saturday, Georgia handed Fromm the keys and he took the Dawgs on one heck of a joy ride. Trick plays, perfect throws. Georgia’s offense hasn’t looked this good in a long time.

5. Nobody beats Kentucky 31 times in a row! (Except Florida).

Borrowed (and modified) that line from the great Vitas Gerulaitis, who offered a version of it after he finally beat Jimmy Connors.

It’s impossible to imagine a more painful loss. Ten men on the field while giving up the go-ahead touchdown to a wide open receiver on another blown coverage in the final minute?

Somehow overcoming that by converting a 4th-and-11 with a clutch catch in between two defenders?

Then busting a big run to set up a chip shot game-winning field goal … only to have that negated by a holding call? (The timing was terrible, but the infraction was obvious.)

Oh, Kentucky.

4. One B1G joke: No. 4 Penn State won by 2. No. 8 Michigan had to score 21 second-half points to put away Purdue. UCF crushed Maryland, and Notre Dame drilled Michigan State. But y’all keep telling me how great your league is. The levity is refreshing at the end of a long day.

3. Mizzou held Auburn to fewer than 500 yards rushing: We call that progress. Mizzou has allowed 160 points in four games. Texas A&M (123) is the only other SEC defense that has allowed more than 87.

Seriously, how much worse would Mizzou’s defense be if it had hired an offensive-minded head coach?

2. Georgia will meet Alabama in Atlanta: And both teams might be undefeated. And both teams might be Playoff-bound, regardless.

Give me those two, Clemson and Oklahoma.

1. Remember, kids: Don’t poke the elephant. Alabama has dominated so many games, they tend to run together. But you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more thorough beatdown than the one the Tide handed Vandy in Smashville.

The numbers alone were staggering.

Vanderbilt ran 38 offensive plays. Not a single one started or ended in Alabama territory.

Alabama is back. And judging by much of what we saw Saturday from some of its alleged pursuers, the timing couldn’t have been better.
