Damn Good First Two CFB Weekends, Eh?

Alright, I’ve got the college football bug now. And is it me or is are the scheduling g-ds cooperating to such a degree that the first few weeks of action are looking tastier than ever? Maybe my memory is fading…such could likely be the case. But I certainly don’t immediately recall quality ranked match-ups early in the season like we have to look forward in 2010. I’m used to cream puffs and maybe a weak out-of-conference kind of contest pretending to be a real test. But have you checked out the first two weeks of this here season, people?
Well, let’s just put aside the you-knew-it-would-be-good Pitt/Utah game that went to OT before the Panthers fell and crapped away any lofty dreams they may have harbored. Let’s look to Saturday…and Monday. I don’t have the time or energy to break down why each of these is so money, but just take my early word. If you can find some time, check out LSU against a depleted Tar Heels squad in Atlanta on Saturday in a battle of two top-25 squads.
If that doesn’t tickle you, give a peek at Oregon St. as the Beavers try to squash the lofty titles hopes of the #6 TCU Horned Frogs. Still not satisfied? Sit tight for a top-10 showdon in week one. Boise and Va Tech. As much as I’d like to finally believe in the Broncos, I’m hard pressed to take the blue turf warriors over the Hokies in their general territory.
Then…then…if week one didn’t get you going, consider some of the names meeting up in only week two:
- An intriguing out-of-conference clash as Georgia Tech travels to Lawerence, KS to face the Jayhawks
- The Georgia Bulldogs face SEC foe South Carolina at the Gamecocks following a surprisingly (in my mind) easy SC win over Southern Miss where Garcia and Lattimer made the offense look alive for Spurrier
- The Bowden-less #20 Seminoles take their show on the road to Norman, OK and the #7 Sooners. It won’t take long to find out about Jimbo’s FSU crew
- Then, if you’re still hungry, the #13 Canes and #2 Buckeyes…
- And for the cherry on top, stay tuned for two of the most storied programs in all of college football – #19 Penn St. and top-ranked Alabama – in a lovely nightcap.
I’m fired up. How ’bout y’all?
