College Football Week 1:

There is usually very little to learn from Week 1 in College Football when all the "good" teams schedule all the "cupcakes", but there are some things to been learned from Week 1.
What we learned:
-Maybe most importantly we saw that Boise State can at least play one game (like a BCS National Title Game, perhaps?) versus a top five caliber team.  Virginia Tech, my dark horse for this year's BCS National Championship Game, all but handed Boise State a 17-0 lead, but when life hands you lemons, you need to make some goddamn lemonade.

-Almost as importantly, we saw that Boise State is not too good.  Many people are looking at this as an upset where Boise proved they are forreal...they are #3, right?  Boise State didn't play well at all after Va-Tech handed them 17 points with mistakes.  A phantom call and phantom no-call gave Boise the opportunity to go ahead 33-30.  Not to take too much credit away from the Broncos, but if anything, I am less impressed by the Boise.

-The Big-12 is not very good: Texas, my pick for this years National Champion, certainly didn't dominate.  Oklahoma had to hold on against Utah State.  Missouri, thought to be a strong Big-12 team, won by only 10 against Illinois, a Big-10 bottom feeder.  Kansas lost to FCS North Dakota State.  Nebraska looked strong...against #120 Western Kentucky.

-There is no Heisman favorite: Terrelle Pryor?  He looked nice with 247 passing yards, but only rushed for 17 yards.  Mark Ingram...he didn't play.  Case Keenum even?  Under 300 yards passing for the guy is supposed to eclipse 6,000.  What about Ryan Williams?  21 rushes for 44 yards.  Kellen Moore?  only 215 yards.  Moore may come out the winner, thanks to a (cough) big win and 3 TD's to no INT's.

-There is still hope for FCS teams:  No one against the big time schools, but what about Jacksonville State beating Ole Miss?  That was fun.

-Michigan is reviving: It may not be Ohio State, but Rich Rod gave the University a good reason to keep him around as Michigan dominated a good UConn team in the Big House.  Denard Robinson made a showing for (gasp!) the Heisman.

-You can play better and still lose to a team you are better than:  What in the world am I saying?  Turnovers...turnovers...turnovers.  Va-Tech gave away the ball to Boise State too many times and Navy owned Maryland, but neither could win because of problems keeping possession.

-Having fun is watching big points: Boise State-Va-Tech was no doubt the most hyped match-up of week 1.  It was also the 2nd best game to watch.  The only one better totaled 100 points as East Carolina def. Tulsa 51-49 in a game that featured a scoring drive on every possession in the 4th quarter, 1,117 yards, and 47 points in the 4th quarter alone.

In Conclusion: There is not much to say at this point, everyone who was supposed to win won..hehe, cept you, Ole Miss.
