Conference Analysis:
· The SEC still looks like the dominant conference in the country, did anyone think otherwise? BUT, it may not be as GREAT top to bottom as many believe. Of course Alabama looks awesome once again, easily dispatching the likely best team the Big Ten has to offer; Tennessee looked solid taking care of the Wolfpack from NC State with relative ease on Friday night; Missouri and Mississippi State handled their business as well against inferior opponents. But, a closer look at the remaining results may yield a different story:
o South Carolina, whom is most likely #1 or #2 in the SEC East, struggled mightily to put away the second to worst SEC East team on the road, Vanderbilt, and did not look good doing it. What’s more about this game, QB Connor Shaw came out of it banged up with a shoulder injury – shoulder issues for QBs are never a good thing this early in the season, especially with the style he prefers playing. This game may have a big impact on the Gamecocks chances at representing the SEC East in the SEC Title game come December as unlike the last few seasons, there is no depth at QB for the ‘Cocks.
o Georgia was only up on lowly Buffalo 24-16 at the half, and wound up winning by 22, not covering the spread, and allowing the Bulls to put up 23 points between the hedges. Yeah, the Dawgs had some defensive starters suspended for this one, but their 3rd team should be able to hold down Buffalo to single digits.
o Florida pulled out a 27-14 win over Bowling Green, but really looked bad doing it. This was my upset pick of the week, as I mentioned to clients BG had a legit shot at winning this game SU, and they came pretty close, easily covering the # by 2 TDs. The Gators still have massive issues offensively, not just at QB – last year Demps and Rainey bailed them out of many tough spots – this year, although Gillislee looks strong, he isn’t as explosive or experienced as those two were.
o Auburn lost by a TD to co-ACC favorite Clemson at the Georgia Dome Saturday night. Keep in mind Clemson did not have All American WR Watkins for this tilt, but still was able to put up 26 on the Tigers defense. Like Florida, Auburn still has issues at QB as neither school has been able to bounce back at that position since winning it all.
o Arkansas was only up 35-21 at the half vs. FCS Jacksonville State, and wound up winning by 25, again not covering the #. We know the Hogs will have an explosive offense, but unless that defense improves a lot after what we saw on Saturday (and even last season), it’s hard to imagine a scenario where they can come close to challenging Alabama, and probably LSU, in the SEC West.
o LSU looked anything but spectacular in a 41-14 win over North Texas. New QB Zach Mettenberger does look like an upgrade at QB, and the running game will still be a tough matchup for most teams, but will they have enough on offense to matchup with Alabama in early November? I have my doubts after that game, although it was clearly just the opener.
o Ole Miss is still in rebuilding mode – never clearer than at the half being down to Central Arkansas 20-14 on their home field. Although a 35-0 2nd half easily dispatched CA at the end of the day, it was certainly a very slow start – and another SEC team that yielded quite a high # of points to a clearly overmatched team.
o Kentucky was smacked upside down by Big East co-favorite Louisville 32-14 in a game that wasn’t as close as that score indicates. It appears UK remains the worst team in the SEC East, and another long year for Joker Phillips is likely in the cards. But give the man some time, and I feel he can do a pretty solid job at the basketball school.
· Did a BCS conference that went 10-2 on opening day look any worse than the Big Ten? Ouch. There is no shame at all losing to Alabama, even if it was the favorite to win the conference, but getting destroyed 41-14, including being down 31-7 at half, isn’t what Michigan, and the conference as a whole, had in mind. Although it certainly appears obvious Alabama is again the toast of college football, it also remains obvious Michigan is still a ways away from approaching the top of the game once again. Also of note in the Big Ten, Minnesota picked up a road win, but it was against UNLV, and it took 3OT; Michigan State needed some late game heroics, and a herculean effort from RB Le’Veon Bell to beat a Boise State team that returned just 7 starters (tied for #122 in FBS), including the loss of college football’s all time wins leading QB Kellen Moore; Northwestern pulled out a 1pt win (after blowing a 35-13 3rd quarter lead) at Syracuse , aided by a questionable roughing penalty during the final minute of the game winning Wildcat drive; PSU lost at home to MAC defending champ Ohio; Wisconsin needed a late defensive stand to hold off FCS member Northern Iowa 26-21; Iowa scored a late TD to beat UNI 18-17; and Indiana beat in-state rival and FCS member Indiana State 24-17 at home. At the end of the day 10-2 is all that matters, but it could be a sign of things to come, in a bad way, for many teams in the Big Ten for 2012.
· The Big 12 didn’t lose a game, with all teams playing besides TCU. Don’t get me wrong, none of these teams played anyone with a legitimate goal of anything substantial this season, but for the most part the conference flexed its offensive muscle scoring an average of 48.6ppg. Not too shabby. The biggest concern clearly comes from Oklahoma, who once again has dreams of a national title, but didn’t look the part whatsoever in a lethargic 24-7 win @ UTEP. The offense continued to struggle, as it did last season once WR Ryan Broyles went down – this issue is starting to look like a permanent one for OU, and if they cannot figure things out vs. Florida A&M next week, it will be an uphill battle this year with 6 games remaining vs. teams in my Power Poll.
· CUSA went 2-10 in the opening weekend. The two wins you ask? UCF, one of my biggest sleeper teams this season, hammered Akron on the road 56-14 impressively; and East Carolina took care of FCS foe Appalachian State 35-13, driven by a strong 4th quarter close. The losses that drive the biggest concerns? Let’s start with defending regular season champ from last season Houston (yes, they lost the CUSA title game), losing SU to Texas State, at home, as 35pt favorites! Wow, talk about a shocker. Then, 2011 CUSA champ Southern Miss was beat in Lincoln by Nebraska 49-20. It wasn’t that the Golden Eagles lost the game, it was the fact the yielded 49 points to a very one dimensional Cornhuskers attack. Next up is SMU, an 8-5/5-3 team in 2011, whom many fancied as a favorite in the conference this season – got bombed by Baylor 59-24 as only 7pt dogs. While it’s true Vegas badly missed this number and I took advantage, it was still a terrible effort for SMU, especially defensively. How poor is Memphis? They are likely the worst team in FBS (again), supported by an unreal 20-17 home loss to Tennessee-Martin – the Skyhawks, yeah – who were 5-6 last season in the FCS! Keeps getting worse for the Tigers, long LONG way to go in this rebuilding effort.
· The MAC opened 4-9, but did have quite a few impressive efforts amongst the losses, although the 4 wins were comprised of one conference game, and 2 wins vs. FCS opponents. The only FBS win the conference had was the aforementioned Ohio Bobcats victory in Happy Valley over PSU. Here are a few of the losses that were solid:
o Toledo lost 24-17 in OT at Arizona in Rich Rodriguez’s first game in Tucson. RR had lost at home to Toledo with Michigan, so this tight game should not have come as a surprise.
o Bowling Green lost 27-14 in the Swamp, mentioned above.
o Northern Illinois lost 18-17 at Soldier Field vs. Iowa mentioned above.
o Buffalo, also mentioned above, only lost 45-23 in Athens.
· Pac 12 started the 2012 campaign 8-3, with Oregon State idle – the Beavers open this week, at home, in a big game for their program hosting the Badgers of Wisconsin. Even though the conference posted an impressive record, taking a closer look at those 8 wins shows the only team that was truly impressive was Oregon – even though the final score reads 57-34, it was 50-3 mid 2nd quarter, as new QB and sleeper Heisman Trophy candidate (as I mentioned in my last article) Mariota tore up the Arkansas State defense in what should be a sign of things to come for any Ducks opponents this season – take note USC. Speaking of the Trojans, they did win 49-10, which certainly looks great, but they didn’t cover the # so it wasn’t that “impressive” of a performance. Arizona only won by 7 vs. Toledo, Washington only won by 9 vs. San Diego State, and Stanford only won by 3 over San Jose State – not good, in particular the last two teams that internally have designs on challenging Oregon in the Pac 12 North. On top of those, a few losses were not good signs either: Washington State, in Mike Leach’s debut, were hammered by BYU 30-6; Jeff Tedford’s Cal team lost at home to Nevada 31-21, which comes as no surprise to me as earlier this summer in my Cal team capsule I stated I would be surprised if Tedford is still coaching Cal in 2013 – not a good start for him and his team; and Colorado lost to rival Colorado State 22-17 on a late TD, a bad sign for the Buffs as that was a rare spot this year where they will be favored.
· The Mountain West, despite only posting a 5-5 record, actually looked pretty strong relatively speaking. Here are their 5 losses:
o Boise State lost late to Michigan State 17-13, covering the #
o UNLV lost in 3OT to Minnesota 30-27, covering the #
o Hawaii lost 49-10 at AP #1 USC, covering the #
o Wyoming kept things relatively tight vs. Texas, losing 37-17, covering the #
o San Diego State lost 21-12 @ Washington, covering the #
It could certainly be a solid year for this conference, as all 5 losses in Wk1 were to BCS conference teams, all of whom sans Minnesota are ranked or close to being ranked, and all of which were covers for the MWC. Keep eyes on this conference’s OOC games coming up, as heading into this season I am bullish on Fresno State & Nevada, while Boise State, although taking a step back from the greatness they have been the last half decade, will still be capable of making noise and still likely the favorite to win the conference.
· The ACC opened 9-3, a solid weekend considering two of the three losses were in conference games (BC lost at home to Miami, Fla & Georgia Tech blowing a late lead and losing in OT @ Virginia Tech). The only loss to a non-ACC team was NC State, who was clearly over matched physically losing to Tennessee 35-21. Of the 9 wins, 7 were vs. non-ACC teams, and only 2 of the remaining 5 were over FBS members – so not exactly overly impressive. Some of the key games:
o Clemson stood up to the SEC once again, taking down Auburn for a 2nd straight season 26-19. Tajh Boyd played well without his #1 WR Sammy Watkins, but the true standout performance was RB Andre Ellington, who rushed for 231 yards vs. a strong SEC defense. Clemson showed they have recovered from the Orange Bowl thrashing in January, and will be a force come conference play.
o Florida State & North Carolina, my two projected division winners (although UNC cannot play in the ACC Championship Game), easily hammered FCS foes by a combined score of 131-3.
o Virginia also looked strong, beating in state rival Richmond 43-19. Yes, the Spiders are an FCS school, but they are traditionally one of the best, and they also play in the SEC of FCS, the CAA, which currently has 6 teams in the FCS Top 20 rankings.
o Maryland & Wake Forest struggled mightily with their FCS opponents, with Maryland scoring a 4th quarter TD to beat William and Mary 7-6, while Wake Forest rallied to beat Liberty late 20-17. As mentioned multiple times, the Terps firing of Ralph Friedgen and hiring of Randy Edsall made no sense at all – and as written about earlier this summer, I feel Edsall will be fired after this season, only 2 years in – and this loss was a big step in that direction. Wake Forest on the other hand I feel can have a good season, perhaps reaching a bowl even after this poor game on Saturday. They still have QB Tanner Price, who is one of the better gunslingers in the ACC, along with 7 starters back on defense.
o Duke opened the season with a relatively impressive 46-26 win over Florida International, a game they led early in the 3rd 44-14. Per my comments in an ESPN article this summer, I project Duke to reach their first bowl game in quite some time, easily going over their Vegas projected wins # this season – and that was the exact kind of start I expected, as 4pt favorites winning by 20.
· The Big East started the season 5-2, with Cincinnati idle and set to open their year hosting Pittsburgh on Thursday night this week. Here are a few of the games that stood out this past week:
o Youngstown State, a top ten FCS team, took down Pittsburgh at Heinz Field 31-17. That wasn’t exactly what Panther fans envisioned as the opener to the Paul Chryst era in the Steel City, but YSU is a solid team – and it was proven once again that the top notch FCS teams can compete with just about any FBS team sans the Top 30 or so.
o Syracuse suffered a tough home opening loss to Northwestern after battling back from a 35-13 3rd quarter deficit. A good sign for the Orange was scoring 41 points as offense is typically a sore spot in upstate NY. A worse sign however was yielding 42 points to a Northwestern team that figures to be a middle pack Big Ten team (again), and was breaking in a new QB.
o Louisville looked impressive handling Kentucky with relative ease in a 32-14 win. Keep an eye on the Cardinals this season as they have a lot of talent, headlined by QB Teddy Bridgewater.
· The WAC and IND teams looked pretty solid overall. The WAC went 4-2, with perhaps their best team Louisiana Tech becoming idle following Hurricane Isaac – their game vs. Texas A&M has been moved to October. Outside the terrible loss by Idaho, the only other loss was San Jose State, and that was an impressive 3pt defeat on The Farm to Stanford. As far as the independents go, Notre Dame and BYU opened their campaigns with impressive wins.
Week One Power Poll (my ranking, team, record, last week’s PP ranking, comment)
#1 Alabama Crimson Tide (1-0, #4): hard to argue this one, truth is they should have been ranked #1 by me and everyone else going into this season. Even though I am not crazy bullish on how good Michigan is, they do seem like the best the Big Ten has to offer, which says a lot about just how good the Tide is. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 @ #19 ARKANSAS
#2 Florida State Seminoles (1-0, #1): drop one spot, how could they not after how impressive Alabama was. Loss of DE Jenkins cannot help, but at least it’s a position of strength for the ‘Noles in what I believe is among the Top 5 defenses in college football. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/22 VS #6 CLEMSON
#3 Georgia Bulldogs (1-0, #2): remember, these rankings are how strong I perceive each team to be when at full strength – so last week’s uninspiring effort vs. Buffalo doesn’t impact my rankings as far as UGA is concerned with them missing a few key pieces on defense. But, this week will be another story as if they do not play much better, they will lose to Missouri and drop. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/29 VS #17 TENNESSEE
#4 USC Trojans (1-0, #3): USC did nothing wrong, matter of fact they performed almost exactly as expected in a 49-10 win over Hawaii. Truth is we will not learn a whole lot about USC until they face Oregon (in the first of likely two meetings), but the next 5 may be the toughest stretch they face all season – which says more about the Pac 12 than who they are playing in these next few weeks. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 11/03 VS #5 OREGON
#5 Oregon Ducks (1-0, #6): my sleeper Heisman selection Mariota already made a name for himself carving up the Arkansas State defense with ease. The Ducks schedule is even easier than USC’s. If anyone is going to give them a game before October 6th it’s likely this week vs. Fresno State. But that will probably only mean being up 28 at the break. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 11/03 @ #4 USC
#6 Clemson Tigers (1-0, #8): moving up two notches is Clemson, as they had one of the more impressive wins from an opponent’s perspective taking care of Auburn on a neutral field without their top weapon. Next up are a pair of warm-ups before the likely Atlantic Division championship game with Florida State in Doak Campbell. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/22 @ #2 FLORIDA STATE
#7 Ohio State Buckeyes (1-0, #10): the Buckeyes ushered in the new Urban Meyer era in style pasting Miami, Ohio 56-10. Braxton Miller looked like the real deal, but we will know a little more after the next two weeks facing one of my sleeper’s UCF, then a Pac 12 team Cal. In reality, especially because both are in the Horseshoe, there will likely be no concerns with either opponent. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/29 @ #18 MICHIGAN STATE
#8 LSU Tigers (1-0, #7): the defending SEC champs took care of North Texas in their opener, but it wasn’t as easy as it should have been. On a good note Zach Mettenberger looked legit, and could be that missing piece under center the Tigers have been craved for quite some time. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 10/13 VS SOUTH CAROLINA
#9 Oklahoma Sooners (1-0, #5): as mentioned above, at some point, it has to be a cause for concern the way OU has struggled offensively since losing Broyles mid last season. And this opener at UTEP did nothing to ease my concerns there, hence the drop of 4 spots. In the high powered Big 12, unless the Sooners get this figured out real soon, they will be left in the dust quickly. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/22 VS #12 KANSAS STATE
#10 West Virginia Mountaineers (1-0, #11): WVU looked as impressive as anyone offensively this past week, putting up 69 points in about 3 quarters of work – a very good sign if they have designs on competing in the Big 12. The downside is they allowed 545 yards of offense to Marshall, a mid pack CUSA squad. Expect a ton of shootouts this year. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 10/06 @ #16 TEXAS
#11 South Carolina Gamecocks (1-0, #9): it was a nice win, don’t get me wrong. And it felt like a lot of the reason the game’s final score wound up being closer than the talent on the two teams appeared was because Spurrier was really playing it too close to the vest. But setting that aside, any SC fan has to be concerned with the status of Conner Shaw – a shoulder injury is never good this early in the year as they tend to linger. Also, was it me or did Marcus Lattimore look a lot less explosive? NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 10/06 VS #3 GEORGIA
#12 Kansas State Wildcats (1-0, #16): KSU didn’t have any issues in their opener this year unlike last year, a good sign for Snyder’s team. Sleeper test coming up this week hosting Miami, Fla, as the Hurricanes will be looking for some respect and payback off last year’s last second KSU win. That is one of the more highly anticipated games for me this coming weekend. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/22 @ #9 OKLAHOMA
#13 Notre Dame Fighting Irish (1-0, #21): truth is I was a little higher on ND than my initial ranking which placed them #21 – so this jump to #13 isn’t solely based on pasting Navy. I like a lot of pieces Brian Kelly has put together in South Bend, and the Irish will be a perfect example this year of a team that will be better than their final record indicates – but it better not be too much of a discrepancy if Kelly wants to get in the good graces of Irish fans – and he should pick up a win over Michigan in two weeks. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 @ MICHIGAN STATE
#14 Michigan Wolverines (0-1, #12): there is no shame in losing to Alabama, but perhaps there is some in the way that game went down. It was a classic mismatch in every sense of the word, but perhaps the two areas that stuck out most (especially when combining it with last year’s Sugar Bowl) is the lack of physicality and tackling Michigan showed, along with seemingly being badly outcoached in both games. UM still has a LONG way to go if they want to get back near the country’s elite, a place they truly haven’t been in quite some time – and Ohio State is only improving and remains the class of the Big Ten. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/22 @ #13 NOTRE DAME
#15 Virginia Tech Hokies (1-0, #13): at the end of the day, all that matters is they found a way to pull out the big win on Monday, in a game that has decided the Coastal Division champ in each year since the conference split. But, taking a long term view, it wasn’t pretty, and VT has a lot of work to do. They seem to be fine defensively, but they must find a RB, and QB Logan Thomas has to be much more accurate and poised enough to look down the field if the Hokies want to challenge Clemson and Florida State for the ACC title. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 10/06 @ #21 NORTH CAROLINA
#16 Texas Longhorns (1-0, #14): the ‘Horns took care of business, but it wasn’t quite the dominating performance Mack Brown and Texas faithful were hoping for after a disappointing 2011 season. UT likely has the best defense in the Big 12, but will their offense be balanced enough to score the points needed to compete for a Big 12 title with the likes of West Virginia, Oklahoma, Kansas State, and Oklahoma State all in the mix? NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/29 @ #25 OKLAHOMA STATE
#17 Tennessee Volunteers (1-0, #24): like ND, Tennessee is my other bigger name sleeper team for 2012 – and they supported my thinking in Wk1, but that doesn’t mean all is fine and dandy in Knoxville. First off, let’s not turn NC State into something they aren’t – they remain a mid pack ACC team, one that frankly any mid pack or better SEC team should handle on a neutral field. Two, the running game has to improve, as even though the total rushing stats looked good, the running game wasn’t consistent at all and was greatly impacted by a few big runs, and almost let NC State back into the game with their inability to run effectively to kill the clock. Long way to go for Dooley and Company, and after these next 7 games, we will know all we need to about how far UT has come back. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/29 @ #3 GEORGIA
#18 Michigan State Spartans (1-0, #15): MSU did pull off the win, but how good did they look vs. a BSU team that had limited experienced players returning, and was also breaking in a new QB just like Sparty? I felt a lot better about Maxwell going into that game than I do leaving it. Bell will be a beast all season, and that defense will be very solid, especially in the Big Ten, but they didn’t overwhelm me in any area at all. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 VS #13 NOTRE DAME
#19 Arkansas Razorbacks (1-0, #19): the offense was there, maybe – it’s not like 49 points is a ton vs. Jacksonville State. But that defense has to be cause for concern, especially in the SEC. Tyler Wilson may be able to pull a game or two out, and the running game should be solid as long as it remains healthy, but they are still at least a step below Alabama and LSU in their own division, let alone conference. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 VS #1 ALABAMA
#20 Louisville Cardinals (1-0, N5): Ville breaks into the rankings this week, after being part of the “next 5” in the initial version. I am very bullish on the Cardinals this season, as Charlie Strong is doing a fabulous job down there. Teddy Bridgewater is a legit solid QB that should lead this team to many victories and possible championships over the next three seasons – and when the rest of the team catches up to him, and judging on recruiting rankings that should be coming, look out. This could be a top 15 team by the end of the season. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 VS #21 NORTH CAROLINA
#21 North Carolina Tar Heels (1-0, #25): UNC stomped out Elon on Saturday – a win was expected, but I am not sure anyone thought they would look that good doing it. UNC was my pick to win their division in the ACC, but because they aren’t eligible it wouldn’t matter. But that will not stop them this season from playing the “us vs. the world card”, and an explosive offense led by QB Bryn Renner and RB Giovanni Bernard will pile up quite a few points, and wins. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/15 @ #20 LOUISVILLE
#22 BYU Cougars (1-0, NR): the Cougars debut in the Power Poll after Wk 1, when they put up an impressive 30-6 win over Washington State in Provo. I was very impressed with QB Riley Nelson, more so than I expected as we know he has a great supporting cast of WRs and TEs. The physicality of this team by itself was worth watching as they just overpowered the WSU Cougars into submission. After the layup this week vs. Weber State, BYU will go to Utah and Boise State – we will know a lot more by Friday, September 21st. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 10/20 @ #13 NOTRE DAME
#23 South Florida Bulls (1-0, #18): my preseason pick to win the Big East got off to a slow start of sorts, with a very uninspiring 34-13 win over FCS Tennessee-Chattonooga. That result was not what I was expecting, and definitely has me re-thinking my pick of the Bulls over the Cardinals already. But alas, it’s a long season, and USF will have a big time chance to redeem itself this week when it travels to Nevada in one of the better games of Wk2. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/08 @ #24 NEVADA
#24 Nevada Wolfpack (1-0, NR): speaking of Nevada, the Pack break into the Power Poll this week on the heels of their impressive 31-21 win at California Saturday. Hard to not be impressed with that win as the Bears were playing their first home game in some 21 months, their HC’s job is on the line, and all Chris Ault’s team did was go into the Canyon and perform extremely well. Nevada will challenge Boise State this year in the MWC, and may just win it as they host the Broncos the final week of the regular season – no college football fan forgets the last time those two met in Reno. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/08 VS #23 SOUTH FLORIDA
#25 Oklahoma State Cowboys (1-0, NR): how can the Cowboys not take over the last spot at the very least? If you score 84 points in one game, and could have easily scored 100 had you not called the dogs off, you deserve it as of now. My biggest concern with OSU is the QB position – they are starting a true freshman and that more times than not doesn’t work out too well. Let’s also not forget they only have 4 returning starters on offense, but do have 8 back on a defense that may not put up the best stats, but seems to get the job done effectively enough. We should get a “better” feel for OSU this week when they travel to Arizona, but we will get a true feel for them 2 weeks after that when they host Texas. NEXT GAME VS POWER POLL – 09/29 VS #16 TEXAS
Next Five to keep eye on, in alphabetical order only
