After an exhausting Week 6, we try to answer, or at least make sense of, the following questions:

• How in the hell does Tennessee keep finding new life, this time against Texas A&M, especially down as many players as the Vols are?

• Behind what did Florida State find life after a slow start vs Miami?

• Will Rutgers ever score against Michigan? Is a second first down even possible?

• Washington looks pretty excellent after dropping 70 on Oregon, what now (for both teams)?

• What was the difference yesterday for the Sooners in Oklahoma’s shootout win over Texas?

• Where did Alabama improve during their mostly dominant win over Arkansas in Fayetteville?

• Which Group of Five teams have the most momentum after Houston’s loss at Navy?

• Can anything be learned from NC State’s muddy monsoon win over Notre Dame?

• Where does Virginia Tech now rank in the ACC pecking order after their dominant win over UNC in a deluge??

and much more!
