College Football Comments: Week 2

• The Texas-Ohio State game was one of the best played college games I have ever seen.  These are at least two of the top four teams in the country.  


• Vince Young is the best poised QB this side of Matt Leinart.  


• Ohio State LB A.J. Hawk is the best defensive player in the nation and was the MVP for the Buckeyes on Saturday.


• The Big Ten is solid through and through but it’s obvious that the top tier of the division isn’t as tough as the top tiers of some of the other major conferences.


• Notre Dame is for real; Charlie Weiss has made QB Brady Quinn look like Tom Brady


• Turns out Cal is going to be ok after watching QB Joe Ayoob pick apart the Washington defense.


• Don’t let the 16-point win fool you; Oklahoma is going to have a lot of trouble in the Big 12 if it lets the likes of Tulsa hang around.


• If LSU could play at home I wonder how good they would be.  That team showed some heart and guts with that win at Arizona State


• Even though Georgia QB D.J. Shockley didn’t have the numbers he still proved he was a Heisman candidate after leading Georgia to a win over South Carolina


• After TCU was downed by SMU I don’t see any mid-major teams crashing the BCS this year.


• Virginia Tech solidified itself as the best team in the ACC after Florida State had trouble with The Citadel in the first half.


• Purdue might be the Big Ten’s only chance of having a national championship representative.


• Another one bites the dust: Iowa QB Drew Tate goes down early with an injury in Iowa’s loss.


• Georgia Tech’s and Boston College’s early success has made the ACC deeper than just Virginia Tech, Florida State, and Miami.
