We've seen a Texas upset of #12 Baylor, Houston claiming the AACtion Championship, and Western Kentucky mounting a furious comeback to deny Southern Mississippi a FUNBELT title. No doubt the SEC has done something classically SEC and we can all only sit back and marvel at their greatness.
With Clemson-North Carolina, Stanford-USC, and of course Michigan State-Iowa all on tap for tonight, there's more than enough football to go around. Talk about it here!
