Mighty's College Football Trend Watching

Well after Week 1 in College Football a few things jump out. Here's my list of Trends

1) The biggest storyline I think out of week 1 was the pair of BCS busters with major wins. Boise State drove Oregon to the point of insanity and BYU crushed Oklahoma/Bradford's shoulder. BYU stil has a game against Florida State which should propel them well over Boise State or end there hopes. Mid-Majors can't get two bids, can they?

2) The other big story hidden away in Bradford's shoulder watch was Oklahoma State's crushing win over Georgia. Yes Georgia wasn't expected to be much but OSU killed UGA as it appears T Boone Picken's 250 million investment into the Sooners athletic department seems to be paying dividends. With Bradford injured it appears Ok State now appears to be Texas' big road block to the BCS Championship Game.

3) In the teams falling flat count two Big 10 teams in Iowa and Illinois. Both were predicted to be at the top of the Big 10 and both looked as bad as humanly imaginable. Illinois got annilihated by Mizzou and Iowa required two blocked field goals to defeat Northern Iowa (which apparently is still a school)

4) Not watched by many but one that bears paying attention to was the very close game between University of Washington and LSU. Yes, Yes a new coach and a healthy QB but a winless team from last year lit up LSU's defense. Hardily a good sign if the Tigers want to compete with Alabama or Ole Miss.

Things Coming Up: The Big 10 takes center stage this week as probably the two biggest games are tOSU v. USC and Notre Dame v. Meechigan. Watch for Mark May to demand if both loses that the Big 10 be drummed out of the BCS, existance, etc. A good win bye Meechigan might be DickRod's program is ahead of schedule, a win by Notre Dame will put them into BCS talk. I don't want to consider what a USC blow out means.....
