CF - What we learned this weekend

  1. BYU isn't as good as people think (so far, anyway).
  2. Utah is better than people think (so far, anyway).
  3. The football leaving your hand during an unbridled moment of celebratory joy is grounds for harsh punishment in the NCAA, yet implementing a system of apartheid to segregate the college community into the privileged and the "lower class" is perfectly fine.
  4. Notre Dame still sucks .
  5. The most interesting team at the moment could have Long John Silver as their mascot.

Now I know some people are going to argue numbers 1 and 2, so let me explain:

Sure BYU is 2-0, but they struggled at home against a I-AA team and BARELY eeked out a win against Washington, a team that won 2 games last year, got blown out by Oregon last week (who is ranked lower than BYU), and they needed a ridiculous call and a bailout from the Angel of Blocked PAT's to pull it off.

Utah, meanwhile, pulls out a win against Michigan in the Big House and wins handily against UNLV.

If BYU takes UCLA next week, I'll get on the bandwagon. But if I had to guess who's going to have a more interesting season (based on what we've seen so far), I'd have to go with the Utes.

Good Points. I agree, that was a ridiculous call at the end of the BYU, Washington game.
