The Solid Verbal: How and why we got all that Week 11 chaos

Just a friendly reminder that in this very specific situation and sport, chaos can be a good thing.

After a crazy, upset-filled Week 11, let’s ask some questions:

• If we agree that Alabama is the clear best team in the country and that Ohio State has a very strong case to be No. 2 right now, where do things fall after that?

• How good is USC and what the hell happened to Washington?

• What’s the biggest story with Clemson’s last second loss to Pitt -- turnovers? Nate Peterman? Bad calls?

• Has Auburn converted a first down against Georgia yet? Should we keep waiting?

• What led to Penn State eventually putting Indiana away on the road?

• Oregon is bad. This isn’t a question, just a relevant comment.

• Really, Michigan? Iowa? That was your offense?

• How did West Virginia manage to pull that game out with four turnovers and allowing that much offense against Texas?

• Where did NovemBERT go against LSU?

... and much more!
