Surprised about the UNC score. Alabama much be better than I thought. SEC might be a dog fight this year.
Still inconclusive, I would say. North Carolina hasn't really played anyone great so far. And Alabama lost to Southern Cal and Iowa State, their 2 other decent opponents. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for losing to Hampton in the first game of the season, but they are unlikely to be challenging for the SEC.
