1 Week Down

The Florida Gators had a good warmup to their upcoming title defense. They definitely looked like they are ready to hand on to their title for awhile, although it's pretty easy to look good against Charleston State. It's kind of like as a Husker fan basing a lot on their win over Florida Atlantic. (Which by the way, it looks like if Nebraska wins out -- not likely -- but if they do considering they have 3 Sun Belt teams on their schedule they have the possibility of winning both the Big 12 and Sun Belt championships)

As you may be aware, Florida's win Saturday was not considered a Championship game. As Charleston State is not part of D1-A (now known as the Bowl Subdivision) they are not considered a title contender. So for all intents and purposes it was an exhibition game. All that said, the Gators look strong. I won't pick them to win out of course, that's just a tough thing to do in the SEC, but it wouldn't surprise me either.

It was interesting to see Oklahoma lose, and Ohio State nearly lose. To me, those games are an illustration of the point I've always held, that the regular season IS the tournament in college football. That's what makes it unique, and in my opinion, better.
