What have we seen this first month? Let's start here:
- OSU and Utah stay high or climb the polls but have yet to play anyone of significance.
- BYUs 2-QB system did not work. But we now see why the head coach was not ready to settle on one: neither QB was ready.
- BYU and UGA, as I predicted, would have similar seasons. So far I'm very right, just not the outcome I hoped for. Both teams sit at 1 -3 with three straight losses (first time in five years for BYU, 20 years for Georgia).
- 'bama may be the first team to repeat in the BCS era...their comeback against Arkansas looked like the 'bama of last year and a team that could repeat.
- Right now, 19 of the-top 25 are undefeated and the six 1-loss teams all lost to a ranked team, with the exception of Texas (loss to UCLA).
- Top 25: 6 from SEC, 6 from Big 10, 3 from Big 12, 3 from PAC-10, 2 from ACC, 0 from Big East, and 5 from the WAC and MWC. Hmmmm.....
Just to Vent
The BYU defense could not stop a running play...at all. The play calling was dull, predictable and downright atrocious when they needed it most. Receivers could not catch a ball to save their lives. Heaps is obviously a true freshman...but with potential.
ENDZONE
Please...can the Big 10 step it up a notch? They boast six teams in the Top 25 yet Saturday the Big 10, with the exception of Purdue and Minn, won their games by a total of 345 - 109. Play someone of real caliber and THEN stake your claim as a power conference.
