Almost Perfect, But Lots Of Imperfections

   If not for a last-gasp field goal by Wake Forest that messed up Ole Miss, the SEC goes 8-0 against foreign and largely inferior foes on Saturday.
   Still, there wasn't much to wrote home -- or write here -- about. Georgia did maul Central Michigan 56-17, but the Chippewas have been mincemeat against BCS types lately. Florida handled Miami 26-3 but led late by only six points.
   Neighbors Auburn and Alabama won by two TDs each, the Tigers by 27-13 over frequent upset maker Southern Miss but the Crimson Tide 20-6 over a Tulane team displaced by Hurricane Gustav.
   Arkansas lucked out again, rallying from 18 down to nip Louisiana-Monroe 28-27. Kentucky gave up three points, one more than the previous week, but it was to lower-level Norfolk State in a 38-3 decision.
   So, let's hear it for Mississippi State, 34-10 over Southeastern Louisiana in a successful but hardly memorable week for your favorite league.
   Hey, at least it's not the ACC.
   Were you more impressed than me?
