Last weekend’s SEC slate of games featured four teams facing off with FCS programs, and four more playing against Group of 5 opponents. Naturally, given the way that college football works, that led to a topsy-turvy, entertaining week, with one SEC East contender nearly falling to a bad FCS program and another conference team heading to overtime yet again. Here’s how things unfolded on Twitter.

Rummel grad and true freshman QB Chase Fourcade has Nicholls down just 10-7 close to halftime against No. 9 Georgia.
— Shea Dixon (@Sheadixon) September 10, 2016
Not to put too fine a point on this: Nicholls lines aren't SEC quality, but are dominating on both sides.
