I think you are being a bit overwrought.  First of all, the game that really mattered for the playoffs ended 26-13, good guys, against a P5 opponent.  Secondly, all conferences had their ups and downs.  The SEC is cumulatively went measely 7-6 (and has a good shot of losing tonight to make it 7-7).  Nobody is talking about the SEC having no room for error.  Really, WSU was the only real upset loss.  Other conferences had some high profile losses (Oklahoma, LSU, etc.).  More importantly, the conference will be judged based on the record of its best team or two teams with regards to how the playoffs select, and those will be compared to the top teams in other conferences.

Lots of football left until we have to worry about playoff implications.  My biggest takeaway from the week end are that many of our upcoming foes are beatable.  And that game in Seattle is looming larger.
