What I learned by watching television...

What I Learned by Watching Television (Special abbreviated Hurricane Edition):

Blogging from Huntsville, Texas, where I am stationed for hurricane purposes. Yet I could not let a Sunday pass without offering some insights about college football's first Saturday...

The ACC stinks yet again. East Carolina beats Virginia Tech by jujitsuing Tech with a punt block. USC destroys Virginia. Media Darling Clemson lays an egg with the Gameday guys watching. Maryland squeaks by Delaware. North Carolina squeaks by McNeese State. Somebody give this conference a tourniquet.

I agree with Jake: USC is ridiculously awesome. 52-7 in Charlottesville, the resting place of Tommy Jefferson, despite Virginia having schemed for this game for two years.

Missouri will not win the Big 12. Not with just offense. They're good. But you're not going to beat Oklahoma, Texas and even Nebraska by giving up six touchdowns, like they did against Illinois on a neutral field.

Joe Paterno wants to go out with a bang. Why else would Joe Pa score 28 second half points against lowly Coastal Carolina to break 60 enroute to a 66-10 demolition? Where's the class, Jo Jo?

Overrated: Clemson, Texas A&M, Virginia Tech, South Carolina.

Underrated: Oregon, California, Georgia Tech, Alabama, Duke, TCU, Boise State.

Fine Five: USC, Ohio State, Florida, LSU, Oklahoma.
