Welcome to Glass Slipper! My beloved Jalen Tolbert has officially arrived; please enjoy the show.

Here are my 10 biggest takeaways from Week 6 of the college football season.

1. Welcome to Aggieland.

Wow. I was around for the Johnny Manziel era, and I witnessed the Zach Calzada special against Alabama. Saturday was easily the best I’ve ever seen a Texas A&M team play. The Aggies obliterated Missouri in the trenches, and continued to attack while the Tigers were busy sulking about their deficit.

The broadcast crew kept pushing the possibility of A&M getting a playoff spot, and I’d probably slow down on that. But Saturday did confirm one thing; the long-awaited return of the Lone Star Showdown at the end of the regular season will be electric.

2. Time to grow up.

That was some pretty embarrassing behavior from Luther Burden III. He had a 75-yard touchdown called back in the first quarter, and proceeded to spent the remainder of the day expressing some of the worst body language possible. Slumped shoulders, shaking his head. Dude. You’re the best player on the squad, and everyone follows your example. Move on.

Tetairoa McMillan would never do that. Neither would Emeka Egbuka or Travis Hunter. If I was an NFL GM, there’s no way Burden is a top wide receiver on my board.

3. Side by side.

Army is 5-0, with a +145 point differential. Navy is 5-0, with a +115 point differential. Both teams play Notre Dame, before they meet each other down the line. A service academy making the CFP sounds unrealistic, but it’s on the table this year.

4. The pecking order.

Quinshon Judkins is better than TreVeyon Henderson, and I think Ohio State’s coaching staff is starting to realize it. Comparing the two isn’t entirely productive, since they’re teammates. But if it’s overtime against Michigan, I know which guy I want on the field.

5. A historic stunner in Nashville.

This is pretty funny in hindsight, huh?

If we’re going based on point spread, Northern Illinois over Notre Dame was technically a bigger upset. But if we’re just talking about the name value of the two programs involved, this might be the biggest shocker since Appalachian State in 2007. Vanderbilt beat Alabama? It doesn’t even feel right when you say it out loud. Clark Lea deserves a lifetime deal right now.

6. Your weekly Ashton Jeanty report.

Look, I know you’re sick of me talking about this dude. I was actually thinking about excluding Jeanty from the recap, until I recently saw multiple people that are paid to discuss college football mispronounce his oh-so difficult six-letter last name. Direct the blame towards those clownish analysts. I will keep praising Ashton until he gets his respect.

Another week, another ridiculous performance. In under 100 carries, he’s over 1,000 yards and has 16 touchdowns. Those are real stats.

7. Tennessee’s catastrophe.

I turned this game off when the Vols made it 14-3. It felt over, and it should’ve been. What on Earth happened?

Tennessee followed that touchdown drive with four punts, and then a failed final possession. This is legitimately almost as jarring as Bama’s loss. You cannot blow a double-digit second-half lead to one of the worst quarterbacks in the conference. That is unacceptable stuff from Josh Heupel.

8. Storm it!

Where does Michigan go from here? You benched QB1 for QB2. Then QB3 took the reins, and committed two costly turnovers late on Saturday. Now the Wolverines have to win out, and they don’t have a signal-caller. Do they dare burn Jadyn Davis’s redshirt to try and rescue things? In any scenario, that was an awesome game in Seattle. Jedd Fisch’s little dual-quarterback plan worked to perfection, and it earned him his first signature victory at Washington.

Meanwhile, USC also joined the two-loss club. Minnesota played a perfect - and gutsy - fourth quarter, and stole it in front of the home crowd. Lincoln Riley only mustered 17 points, against a Golden Gophers defense that yielded 31 to Iowa. It feels like Mr. Offensive Genius should be doing better than that.

It’s safe to say that we got the chaos that I told you all to expect. Five of the top eleven teams went down, with four of the losers falling to unranked squads. This sport always delivers.

9. The ‘Canes survive, part two.

I can’t believe these guys got away with it again. Cal defeating Miami felt like a fitting conclusion to a day of pure chaos in college football; instead, Cam Ward and the officiating crew teamed up to erase a 25-point deficit. It’s only a matter of time before the Hurricanes get exposed, but they managed to dodge that fate for a second consecutive week.

10. Time to peek ahead.

Before the season even began, everyone was salivating over the October 12th slate.

Look at the calendar. It’s here. Red River. Penn State is in the Coliseum. Ole Miss meets LSU in Baton Rouge. Ohio State heads to Oregon, with the winner getting the No. 1 spot in Sunday’s AP poll. Let’s go.
