It’s been a heck of a day, and I’ll recap a few of the games in more detail tomorrow, but a few common themes from the night:
1-AA teams on the whole aren’t that far below 1-A teams. Lots of scares today, including my alma mater UCF, and 2 wins (one of them Thursday).
Except for Buffalo and maybe Bowling Green, the MAC stinks. 2-9 as of now, Buffalo may make it 3-9, and the only 1-A win so far was against Troy. The teams that were supposed to carry the conference, like Western Michigan, have been a disappointment. Good thing it’s only 1 week.
The Sun Belt isn’t much better, but their opposition was better overall. 3-5 for the weekend, but blew out both their 1-AA opponents.
The win for BYU was obviously huge, and will be written about by me and paid professionals at great length this week. The big debate is now whether they’re positioned for a run at the BCS Title Game. I say they are, but I still doubt they can run the table with the schedule they have.
Lots more to come tomorrow and this week here and at the Pub.
