Questions were answered this weekend: Oklahoma looks the part of #1; LSU and Boise continue dominating their opponents; maybe Notre Dame
is going to be good this year; Ohio State is not; Vandy over Ole Miss by 23 - wow; then Clemson over Auburn and Utah hanging 54 on a touted BYU defense. Yea - the picture is much clearer now.

This don't look like no
"trail to fame and glory" to me! |
Utah at BYU: The first non-conference Holy War in 89 years, and the worst Utah over BYU beat down in 89 years, left Utah the victor and BYU looking for answers. No offense, BYU, but you have no offense. And when you did have offense it was a turnover fest. There were a few glimpses of greatness but no urgency, no dominance, no rhythm.
The play calling when down by 30 was the same as when down by four - conservative. And BYU was still huddling in the 4th while down by 30. Finally, when they were down by 37 they began running the hurry up offense. Why then? Why not sooner - like lots sooner?
CC at UGA: Georgia finally gets a much needed win. Yes - the win was over an FCS school but I think UGA deserved a break after three straight losses dating back to their bowl game and the last two games against tough (top 10) opponents. Maybe now they can wrap their heads around the rest of the season and move ahead.
ENDZONE: Mega-ConferencesIt looks like the future of college football is huge conferences. The Big East lost two of its teams to the ACC and the Big 12 continues to dissolve. That's OK with me...I think mega-conferences are the first step to a playoff system. It won't produce a great system but it will be an improvement and a step in the right direction. Bring it on.
