College Football Recap: Week 1

So we had our big opening kick off week of college football and it was all...mostly boring. Most of the big schools schedule these cake games to play at their openers, so they all turn into lopsided 45 to 0 games.

We've not had many upsets, besides 15 ranked Pitt losing to non ranked Utah...but the Big East had an awful weekend in general. West Virginia did well and will mostly like become the front runner to win that division now, not that its saying much to be the winner of the Big East...

Post Tebow Florida had a surprisingly tough game against Miami of Ohio, and it might have turned into a possible upset if Miami hadn't screwed themselves over. Florida Offense looked inept at best with several bad snaps and unable to get their rhythm together. I still believe they will make it okay out of the SEC East but it is worrying to watch them struggle against a freaking mac team that went like 1-11 last year.

Though the other big three that lost their star quarterback to the drafts, Texas and Oklahoma, also didn't play amazingly well. Oklahoma barely won their opener by a touchdown, and Jones has been playing a lot last year with Bradford injured. I feel pretty good with saying Texas wins the Big 12 South though Nebraska looked really good and probably will win the conference.

Notre Dame won and ushered in a hopeful Brian Kelly Era. Most people thought the Purdue game would be a high scoring shoot out but it turned into a defensive game with Notre Dame showing that it had a defensive for once. Next weekend is the big game with Michigan, which also had a great game against UConn. I'm not really optimistic about their chances which makes me a bad fan. I will be cautiously optimistic about their chances since Kelly knows Rich Rod's style it might be decided on who is the better coach.

So Big game tonight is BCS buster Boise State versus Virginia Tech....and I am hoping for a VT win. I'm tired of every year hearing about Boise State going undefeated with their easy schedule and then expected to go to the Championship game. I just want VT to put a smack down on them and just put them out of the picture. But Boise State has a knack for winning so, maybe this is the year for them.

Update: Game has gone back and forth, at first it looked like a Boise State blowout but VT called back and is in the lead. Its up for grabs.
