One of the best things about every college football season is that when you start to approach the halfway point (and that’s quickly coming up), there are a ton of surprising teams that end up putting up wins you simply don’t expect based on preseason expectations.
It’s even more surprising when it happens in the supposedly “weaker” divisions in many conferences around the country. This past weekend was a perfect example of that.
Coming into 2015, it was a near-consensus opinion that the SEC West was going to be far and away better than the East, that the Pac-12 South was going to produce the eventual league champ over the North out west, and that the Big Ten West was going to take a seat behind the Big Ten East all year long.
