Week 8 was one of the most wild and entertaining weeks of the 2021 season, but not in the Southeastern Conference, where most of the teams were hidden in underground bunkers to avoid the waves of chaos that washed away Penn State, Oklahoma State, and Coastal Carolina while putting a scare into Oklahoma, Cincinnati, Oregon, and others.
When you hit a week where Kansas comes a few plays away from beating Oklahoma, you don’t want to be playing. Bad football for the favorites and good football for the underdogs seems almost contagious some weeks.
All the SEC favorites that did play this week won handily, though, and received good grades.
