Week 1
Between blogging Gustav and playing with Loyette, I didn't get to watch very much of the USC-Virginia game today, but it was a fantastic start to the season as the Trojans crushed the Cavs, 52-7. w00t!
Elsewhere, the ritual humiliation of the Michigan Wolverines was carried out admirably by Utah, 25-23 at the Big House; a pair of ranked BCS teams lost to unranked non-BCS foes (#17 Virginia Tech to East Carolina and #25 Pitt to Bowling Green); #6 Missouri beat #20 Illinois, 52-42; #24 Alabama upset #9 Clemson, 34-10; #21 Oregon crushed Washington, 44-10; Washington State couged a chance to earn Pac-10 brownie points, losing 39-13 at home to Oklahoma State; and Appalachian State wasn't so HOT! HOT! HOT! this time around, losing to #7 LSU 41-13. (Full scoreboard here.)
Oh, and in the one game that's still underway, it's, um, Arizona 70, Idaho 0, with 5:20 remaining. No, that's not a typo. And yes, Idaho is a Division I-A (or FBS) team, nominally at least. Wow.
