Florida has a total of 13 yards in offense in the first half and 235 yards for the game and 13 first downs in their lackluster win. You weren't playing Miami you were playing Miami, Ohio, in your own stadium. Ugly, ugly win for the Gators in their first game without TimTebow.
And, since according to the Big Six BCS conferences and the talking heads on TV (Craig James, in particular), since Boise State and TCU shouldn't get any credit for destroying the competition they play in their conferences, shouldn't #4 Florida take a huge hit in their ranking with how terrible they played against inferior competition. Oh, you might drop them to #7? Hypocrites. Should drop them out of the Top 20, if you truly believe the mid-major conferences are that bad.
Florida State looked impressive in their first game under Jimbo Fisher. Granted, it was against Samford, but remember, the 'Noles almost lost to Jacksonville State last year, so that's a big improvement.
Penn State's freshman QB Robert Bolden had a nice debut against Youngstown State, but I'm nervous about what's going to happen when Big-10 play starts (yeah, I know they play Alabama next week...I'm blocking that out right now and hoping he survives the game).
Texas and Mack Brown...I don't want to hear you bitching and moaning at the end of the year if you don't go to a BCS game. You struggled with Rice; see comments about Florida above. If you get credit for beating them, so does everyone else, and when they beat them in a much more convincing fashion than you did, they also get more credit.
Once again, UCLA settling for field goals instead of touchdowns and costing them a game.
Way to go, Ole Miss. Blowing a 31-10 first half lead to lose to Jacksonville State in double overtime. The SEC is really, really good...at the top, they're better than everyone. The middle and the bottom are just like every other conference. Ole Miss probably was worried about how tough their SEC schedule is and weren't focused for today's game.
Those tight purple shorts and white boots are a great look for the TCU Showgirls.
Amazing one-handed grab by Alabama's Julio Jones for a touchdown in their rout of San Jose State.
The late afternoon games have had more teams doing what they're supposed to, but Kansas losing to North Dakota State 6-3 (you managed only a field goal?!?!) and Oklahoma struggling to beat Utah State by a touchdown isn't good. I thought Oklahoma had a chance of being a contender for the national title this year. After this game, I may have to rethink that.
Nice win for TCU, especially considering they played an opponent with a pulse. And North Carolina's 24-30 victory against LSU has to have Les Miles wondering if his team will underachieve just enough for him to get the Michigan job. And speaking of the Wolverines, a very complete victory for them over UConn. Hopefully they can do the same to Notre Dame next week.
Wow, wow, wow! Unbelievable finish to the Tulsa vs ECU game. Golden Hurricanes and Pirates trading blows in the second half and ECU wins on a final play jump ball for the touchdown, 51-49. A combined 47 fourth quarter points.
Great finish to the opening weekend with the Boise State vs. Virginia Tech game. Broncos came out firing in the first quarter and give credit to the Hokies for fighting back. Boise is a very good team and they were able to drive down the field at the end to win the game. Can't wait until next weekend...Miami vs. Ohio State, Notre Dame vs. Michigan, Florida State vs Oklahoma, Penn State vs. Alabama...Love this time of year!
