So, it was a big day. Arkansas might get by without their HC, but not without their starting QB. MSU's Dan Mullen transfers the heat from his seat to Auburn's HC, Gene Chizik. PSU starts 0-2, while Nebraska and Wisconsin drive home the point that the B1G isn't so "big" so far this season.
Texas A&M and Missouri learn that ball games last for 60 minutes in their newly adopted conference. Both are now hard at work on their plans to learn "Old Man Football".
Meanwhile, USC (the class of the PAC-12) struggles to escape a cakewalk with the Orange Men of Syracuse. Oh yeah... Oklahoma State. If you guys want to whine about being left out of the Big Post-season Game, then you need to learn how to win your cupcake games during the regular season. Apparently, the Cowboys haven't figured that one out yet.
Thoughts and prayers requested for Tulane's Devon Walker, who broke his neck in a head-to-head collision with his own teammate yesterday as the Green Wave lost to Tulsa.

Nope it wasn't. Our home opener is this Sat against Miami Ohio. Then a short week with BYU here on the blue Thurs night.
Looking forward to seeing my new season seats and feeling the energy.
Happily, USA Today was kind enough to leave us at #25 (26-28 in the others).. maybe if we run the table in impressive fashion we can make the Maaco against an unranked Pac 12 reject again? ;-)

Honestly, I think BSU's stock is still rising. I'd expect a better bowl berth this year if they have a good season.

BTW: The Spartans are looking more and more like the class of the Big-10 this year. At least they won this week.

Yep, their D is scary. I see that they beat Central MI 41-7. So they'll probably move from #11 into top 10 tomorrow. Offensively i was less impressed, but our secondary snagged 3 interceptions.
But their running back Le'Veon Bell is a heckuva load to contain. I think he had 40 carries against us.

LeRoy: Ohio State is not looking too bad either. That Central Florida team they beat on Saturday is better than people realize. And you should not ever underestimate Urban Meyer as head coach.
I was disappointed my Iowa team lost to Iowa State. The Iowa program seems to be headed downhill in recent years. A few years back, they were a top 8 team. Now they're probably not even in the top 40.
I don't even want to talk about the Colorado Buffaloes.

The Buckeyes have done some impressive cupcake squashing, and they have two more weeks to practice that. September 29 they face MSU. That will be a big game.
Bama's game against Arkansas lost a lot of it's luster when Tyler Wilson broke his collarbone playing against LA Monroe. Arky set a record for dropping in the polls after that loss.
