On the season's first Shakeout Saturday, we learned these truths ...

?There are some third graders who have yet to read the following sentence: It was not particularly a good day for the SEC. Will Muschamp has to get the offense fixed. Florida tumbled eight spots in the latest Power Poll after losing/giving a game away to Miami.


In the second week of September, the top three teams in the East (including Georgia and South Carolina) each have a loss. Samford led Arkansas in the third quarter.

It's not time to jump off the bandwagon just yet. Something called Alabama-Texas A&M this week should get the nation's attention transfixed again on the Strength Everywhere Conference.

?Flaws and all, Michigan, No. 11 in the Power Poll, seems to be the favorite in the Big Ten's Legends Division. You know what that means. Devin Gardner is a Heisman candidate. The same goes for Jeremy Gallon and the Biletnikoff Award. Taylor Lewman already was an Outland candidate. If this team ever lives up to AD Dave Brandon's marketing of it, a Big Ten championship game may be in its future. At least.

?The ACC is at least resurgent, if not back. Yes, that's three teams in the top 12 of the Power Poll. Florida State and Clemson are championship contenders. Miami just had its biggest win in years. Holy Swofford, Maryland and Duke are both 2-0 too Hakeem Nicks Jersey, Eli Manning Authentic Jersey,

?We have our first hot seat coaches of the season. Actually, they're not much different from the hot seat coaches before the season.

They were booing USC's Lane Kiffin at the Coliseum in a depressing 10-7 loss to Washington State. BYU ran for the most yards in its history at the same time Texas gave up the most rushing yards in its history. Things don't look rosy for Mack Brown with -- in order -- Ole Miss, Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma and TCU coming up.

?The nation's seventh-leading rusher is a quarterback, BYU's Taysom Hill. That's nothing. The nation's leading rusher is a Carrier -- New Mexico's Kasey Carrier.

Onto the season's second Power Poll ...
