College Football Weeks 1 & 2:

We have already seen a lot happen in weeks one and two of college football.  I think much has been learned and teams are showing their mettle.

-Oregon is all but eliminated from the National Title hunt after losing to LSU week 1.

-Boise State all but guaranteed an undefeated season by beating Georgia week 1.

-My two National Title picks Wisconsin and Florida State have won a combined 182-27 in weeks one and two.

-Ohio State sneaked by upset minded Toledo 27-22 in week 2.  We have seen OSU struggle before early, beating the Ohio University Bobcats by only 12 at home in 2008.  That team went on the the Fiesta Bowl.
 
-Only Oregon has lost in the top 10.

-Michigan beat Notre Dame 35-31 on a touchdown pass to Roy Roundtree with .02 seconds left.

-The Irish are 0-2 again and face #15 Michigan State on Saturday.

-Despite bad signs, the top four teams in the SEC (Bama, LSU, Arkansas, and South Carolina) all went unscathed through the first two weeks.

-Baylor upset TCU and begins a dark horse campaign as the best team you haven't heard anything about in a quest for the Big XII title.

-Oklahoma and Florida State meet in Tallahassee which is regarded as the biggest game this year and a virtual elimination game from BCS National Championship contention for the loser and major props for the winner.
