SEC round-up: Recapping week one

Week one is (almost) in the books for the Southeastern Conference, with LSU waiting to play Florida State on Sunday night. The best conference in the land certainly lived up to that billing on Saturday, with every team taking care of business.

The Florida Gators got the Billy Napier era off and ROLLING with a huge upset against No. 7 Utah. The back and forth affair ended with a devastating interception for Utah, just as they appeared to be ready to hop back in front with just seconds remaining.

The win is obviously monumental for Napier as he tries to jump-start that program, and Saturday was perhaps a warning shot that the Gators might just be better than anyone expected.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, Georgia absolutely demolished No. 11 Oregon. Kirby Smart crushed his former defensive coordinator Dan Lanning in his head coaching debut, leaving little doubt that the Bulldogs will be national title contenders once again, despite losing so much defensively from a year ago.

The Razorbacks picked up a nice win over a ranked Cincinnati team. Arkansas controlled the game from the jump, but things got a little dicey late. Trey Knox hauled in two touchdown passes to help the Hogs secure a 31-24 win.

It was cupcake city for the rest of the league.
