First week of action, and a couple stunners in progress:

TCU has just intercepted a pass with 8:46 left to preserve their 17-10 lead at #7 Oklahoma.

Meanwhile, #3 Tennessee is clinging to a 17-10 lead at home against Alabama-Birmingham with 4 minutes left.

So far, everything else has gone according to Hoyle, including big wins for Iowa and Ohio State.

Same old Rutgers... they were up 27-7 on Illinois, now it's tied at 27 and Illinois is surely going to win it, if not on a last second FG, then undoubtably in overtime.

Oh, and GO TCU! Oklahoma looks like utter crap. They may finish the season with 4-5 losses.

Yes they did. But they would've had the same success if they put Girl Scout Troop 284 on the defensive line. Ugly.

Granted, the Huskies are clearly the best team in the state of Illinois, but still... it was the run defense which broke down. That shouldn't be happening.

Eric Ainge performed very poorly at quarteback for Tennessee today. Rick Clausen came in and directed a rather lethagic looking offense fairly well. At times Tennessee's offense looked brilliant...at others they looked as if they were going through the motions.

UAB is a solid football team, but given the talent disparity it should not have been this close.

The Vols get an open date before traveling to the swamp to see what Urban Meyer has really got going on down there. I hope they use that time wisely.

With just over a minute left in the first half, I saw something I'd never seen before.

Michigan's punter nailed one about 40 yards, down to the 15. The returner was hit immediately from the side, and the ball came lose. A mad scramble ensued, and the player who emerged with the ball was... the punter. How in the name of Mike did he get down there so fast?

With the subsequent TD, Michigan went up 27-10 before the half...

We'll get to see if Utah's success was more a result of Urban Meyer or Alex Smith (seeing that they sucked in their first game without either). If it was Meyer's, then Tennessee may be in trouble.

Big games later today:

Boise State at Georgia. That should be AWESOME.

Wyoming at Florida has upset potential.

Georgia Tech at Auburn could be interesting.

Texas A&M takes a dangerous trip to Clemson.

New-look Notre Dame travels to Pittsburg.

And, of course, USC opens on the road at Hawai'i, always a dangerous place for visitors.



God, I love college football.

Georgia is putting a whipping on the Broncos at the half.

ND-Pitt starts at 8:30, I think.



3:19 to go in the first quarter of USC-Hawai'i, and the Warriors are moving the ball at will: QB sneaks, shovel passes, draws, quick outs. The Trojans haven't had the ball yet.

Naturally, the score is USC 7, Hawai'i 0.

Well, looks like the only surprises going on tonight are the complete pimpslapping Georgia is laying on Boise State, and that Virginia is only up 8 on Western Michigan early in the second half.
