After three weeks, the college football season is just heating up.  No big surprises in the rankings.  With USC, Oklahoma, Georgia, Florida and Missouri at the top of the list.  There were some upsets this weekend.  #21 West Virginia got pounded by Colorado.  This loss should officially knock them out of the top 25 for the year, with little hope of climbing back up.  They just aren’t very good.  Florida and Georgia both with, with Florida putting a whupping on Tennessee.  Alabama keeps rolling along, with a couple more wins like the butt kicking they put on Arkansas, they should be in the top 5 soon.  South Florida and Wake Forest remain undefeated, both winning on the road.  Wake Forest’s win at Florida being just a little more impressive.  I think it might be time for Bobby to retire down there in the panhandle.  There were no huge upsets or any real surprises this weekend, just a solid bunch of games that make me hungry for bowl season.

It was an exciting second week in college football.  We had some good upsets and some close calls, with some exciting finishes.  Although the excitement is always better if you team wins.  I think the best upset, and it has something to do with my dislike of one of the teams involved, was East Carolina destroying West Virginia.  Final score ECU 24, WV 3.  It was the first time that West Virginia was held without a touchdown since they were killed by Miami in 2001,45-3.  ECU dominated every aspect of the game and they deserved to win. They might start calling Lou Holtz, Skip’s dad instead of referring to Skip as Lou’s son before all is said and done this season.  Especially if they keep playing the way they are playing.  #17 ranked South Florida escaped a near upset in overtime against Central Florida.  The cross state rivalry went into overtime before USF finally put the Knights away.  Central Florida played as if it were a bowl game and proved once again, in college football, if you take the other team too lightly, there’s no telling what can happen.  #20 Wake Forest also had a scare against un-ranked Ole Miss.  Having to kick a 41 yd field goal with only 3 seconds to go for a close 30-28 win.  It was exciting and a good finish, and proof that the SEC can be beaten by the ACC.  At least once in a while.
