College Football Week 2:

This was supposedly "Monster Saturday" for College Football.  It was disappointing, due to the lack of anything really exciting happening.  There were upsets (James Madison anyone?), but did anyone really care?  The games people wanted to see (Bama-Penn State, OSU-Maimi Florida, Okla-Florida St.) were victories were the...uh, slim? favorite won by annihilating the opposition.  Nonetheless, there are still things to learn from even a week where people where Mace was disappointed.

-It is still the "Feature Programs":  People like Boise State (some people, ones who don't understand that to go undefeated in the WAC is like beating 8 Washington State-i every year, but I digress) and TCU because they interrupt the power programs....or do they?  The traditional programs have won like the last 30 National Championships.  The most recent one I recall is Auburn being co-champ in '04, and they were not technically the winners.  More officially, thanks to the magic of the internet, I can confirm the most recent non-traditional team to win the National Championship Game was Washington in 1991.  So while people hope to see Boise and TCU in the title game, it is unlikely they get there, much less win.

-You have to play every gam: Virginia Tech lost to James Madison

-Turnovers still hurt you a week later: Miami threw 4 picks against Ohio State and lost, by only 12.  Without the lost opportunities which were handed to OSU, it could've been a different story.

-The ACC is worse than the Big-12, which is bad:  The top of the ACC Hierarchy went 0-4 with UNC idle.  Va-Tech, Georgia Tech, Florida State, and Miami Florida all lost.  Congrats, Big-12, you pulled yourself above two power conferences now.

-Denard Robinson is the Heisman favorite: If Michigan can keep winning (relatively unlikely, but their competitions has been nothing to sneeze at) than Robinson deserves some consideration.  He has 885 total yards in two games and single-handily brought joy to Cincinnati fans everywhere by defeating Brian Kelley.

In Conclusion: "Monster Saturday" would've have been so disappointing had it not been the most hyped week of NCAA Football ever.  By the way, I went 0-3 in upset alerts, holy crap.
