Weekend winners
› SEC powerhouses. Wowser, what the SEC power programs did to the various FCS programs or the directions schools this weekend was overpowering. Man, there may need to be a tweak of the slogan: “The SEC — it just scores more.”
› Kirby. Dude is now him, and there’s no debating it. By anyone.
› Notre Dame. The Irish punched its playoff ticket Saturday night in College Station. The Irish have only two true road games left, and their toughest game on paper through the rest of the season is against USC to end the regular season.
