Week 1 Wrapup

The biggest argument FOR the BCS is that its like a season long playoff and every game matters. Well, one thing is true about that mindset. The BCS is ruthless with its eliminations. If you are an unranked team and you lose at home to an unranked team, you are out. Goodbye season in week one. This week alone we have 9 teams that bit the dust
Rutgers
Syracuse
North Carolina St
Virginia
Duke
Wake Forest
Illinois
Washington St
Colorado

Congratulations to the SEC by the way for going 12-0 and winning 6 of them on the road. As much as I dislike them, credit where credit is due.

Those 9 teams are no longer playing meaningful games; which means these 24 games are games that don't matter to determining a champion:
Colorado at Toledo
Colorado v Wyoming
Rutgers v Howard
Rutgers v Florida International
Rutgers v Texas Southern
Rutgers at Syracuse
Rutgers at Army
Syracuse v Maine
Syracuse v Akron
Illinois v Illinois St
Illinois v Fresno St
Washington St v Hawaii
Washington St v SMU
Wake Forest v Elon
Wake Forest v North Carolina St
Wake Forest at Navy
Wake Forest at Duke
Duke at Army
Duke v North Carolina Central
Duke at North Carolina St
Duke at Virginia
North Carolina St v Murray St
North Carolina St v Gardner Webb
Virginia at Southern Miss

That'2 24 new games that don't matter. Wow! How exciting is college football!
