Mailbag: Week 1 Oberservations

This submission comes to us written by JokeKillerKiller:

Week one of college football where the best games are few and far between. The real winners are the cupcake teams from the smaller conferences or Division I-AA that get paid to come in and lose to a larger program. Who wants to see Oklahoma crush Chattanooga by 55 or Penn State crush Coastal Carolina by 56. But if you are the program that brings in a team you are supposed to beat and then look bad, then shame on you.

I'm talking to you Michigan, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Texas A&M, Arkansas, and North Carolina. Michigan gets embarrassed at home (AGAIN) by Utah. Virginia Tech loses the battle of "Beamer Ball" and loses to East Carolina. The supposed comeback of Pitt is stopped before it can even start by Bowling Green. Former Packers coach Mike Sherman wishes he were still in the NFL and not losing A&M's opener to Arkansas State and Arkansas and North Carolina are forced to make fourth quarter comebacks to Western Illinois and McNeese State respectively.

Other observations. WTF ACC? You know you're in trouble when your best win is Wake Forest over Baylor. Why is Ohio State's Jim Tressell playing Beanie Wells in the second half of a blowout over Youngstown State? If Colt Brennan took heat for putting up gaudy stats last season for Hawaii, then Graham Harrell should get the same at Texas Tech. That guy puts up 500 yards a game because of the system. Period. TheCouchqb does a good job of showing the competitive scheduling of the Pac 10, with the exception of Arizona. Idaho and then Toledo really? Are you that desperate to get back to a bowl? (Shakes head in disgust)
