Week 1 in Review

From Blount knocking out a Bronco to FSU dropping every pass in sight, here are my thoughts on week 1.

All eyes are on BYU. The chances of them running the table are slim but with an upset over OU, even with Bradford getting hurt, the world is theirs. They play FSU, TCU and Utah and with a win over OU, they might be able to lose a game and still remain in the hunt for a BCS game.

I almost lost my mind Saturday. At one point I had 5 different games going and at that moment, all the waiting around for the season was worth it.

The ACC sucks. I suppose you hang your ACC cap on the UNC over The Citadel hook and then hide from everyone else. Maryland went west and was taken apart by Cal. VT hung around with Bama until Bama decided enough was enough and ended and ACC>SEC thoughts. NCSU was shut down @ home by an equally average SEC team. GT did manage a 20 point win over a team nobody cares about. And Duke needs to disband their football program.

The Big1011 isn’t much better. PSU and Ohio St. struggled at home. PSU would have scored 70 on Akron. It wasn’t that they took it easy, it was they couldn’t do it. Ohio State gave up long plays by land and sea to Navy. Who lets Navy score on a 90 yard pass play? Iowa needed to block two FGs with time running out to survive N. Iowa in Iowa City. Minnesota was taken to OT by ‘Cuse. All in all not a great weekend for the Big1011.

Oklahoma St shut me up. I figured the entire game would go the way of the first 5 minutes. Okie St. shut UGA down and in the process made the 2nd biggest statement in college football behind BYU. Their defense was taken apart by everyone and was the huge question mark coming into the season. After the early UGA TD, Okie St. allowed them to do nothing.

Jake Locker will scare some people. Washington is going to be bad again but they hung with a very good LSU team all night long. They have two more chances to shock the college football world with games against USC and Cal, although I would bet they get trounced in both.

The college crew knows all about my man crush on Brian Kelly. I picked Rutgers to win the Big East. As I sat down to watch the man Michigan should have hired lead the Bearcats to a ass whoopin’ Blount could be proud of I thought… “BK is going to get a big time job and haunt me for years.” He is going to end up at Wisconsin or Iowa and destroy Michigan. I know it.

People are getting too excited over Michgian's win. It was Western Michigan people. The Detroit papers were gushing over the performance Michigan laid down Saturday. It was a must win game but it was Michigan vs. a MAC school. Give it 6 weeks people then if they only have 1 loss, I'll get a little more excited.

The MAC is back to what they should be. The place kids go when they can't play for a Big1011 school. The MAC had a couple years where they thought they were something more than a pretty bad conference. Saturday they revisited their past.

Biggest surprises:
BYU – What can be said? Held OU to 13 points.
Oklahoma St. – Shut down UGA and won fairly easily.
Miami – Not that FSU was a world beater but they got the win.

Biggest disappointments:
OU – With or without Bradford, you have to score more than 13 points.
Oregon – Nothing needs to be said. Dominated.
Rutgers – See above.
