We’re already into week 2 of college football, even though, technically, it’s the 3rd week. Whatever. Last weekend I was most looking forward to Colorado vs. TCU and boy, did it live up to the hype. Neon Deion might be the MVP of the whole college season. TCU was favored by 20 points (or somewhere around there?) but LOST to Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes. Television ratings were so high that it was the most watched sportscast of the day. Is anyone surprised?
The next game was the only matchup that featured two top-25 ranked teams. Florida State wrassled with LSU but by the time the last whistle blew, the Seminoles had definitively dismantled the Tigers. This made my entire family happy, so I was happy about that. FSU jumped to #4 (from being ranked #8) and LSU dropped to #15 (from #5).
The last game that had an upset was actually kind of embarrassing for Clemson University. Not because Duke isn’t good. Duke IS good. But Clemson on the other hand… besides having Will Shipley, they literally have nothing going for them. In fact, Will Shipley is easily their best player (and one of the best in college football). But if you’re running back is your best player, you’re in trouble. Clemson is in trouble this year. The funny thing about this game is that Duke was winning 6-0, then Clemson scored on a fluke set of circumstances. Even before half time I said that as soon as Clemson scores again I’m going to bed (because it was late and I’m old and Clemson will probably score and keep scoring into a blowout). I ended up watching the whole game because CLEMSON NEVER SCORED AGAIN. Those goofballs. Now they’re just barely hanging on to a spot in the top 25 (dropping from #9). Is it safe to say Clemson’s college football dynasty is over?
I’m not sure if any college football weekend will match the excitement of last week but even as this post goes up, Colorado is on the field and later today could have an upset of Texas over Alabama. Fingers crossed. 😉
