Good...Bad

Good…Texas and Ohio State looked very good. Admittedly, both were at home playing weaker opponents, but they came out and dominated in week 1.

Bad…Notre Shame. Spin this any way you want, the Domers barely survived a team that was ranked 103rd last year in scoring offense. Reggie Ball (Georgia Tech QB) is a four year starter with a completion percentage of less than 50%. Notre Shame needed a couple of dubious officiating calls to get out of there alive. But the media will continue to slurp.

Good…The three man team of Musburger, Davie and Herbstreit did a very nice job with the Georgia Tech v. Notre Shame game.

Bad…Why is Lou Holtz on TV? First off he is a shameless homer for Arkansas, Notre Shame and South Carolina, three places he coached. On top of that he is wrinkled up old dude with a slight lisp. This qualifies you to be on the #1 college football studio show?

Good…Big 10 went 11-0 on Saturday.

Bad…Michigan and Michigan State looked weak against seeming inferior opponents. Have UM and MSU ever both fired their coaches in the same season?

Good…The Contenders: Everyone except Cal.

Bad…Poser Material: Cal – The Bears were down 35-0 at one point.

Good…USC and John David Booty. The Trojans laid 50 on the Hogs. Nutt better get his guys focused on the rest of the season or he’ll be running a lawn cutting service with JL Smith and Lloyd Carr this spring.

Bad…Me. I dogged on Booty last week and he came to play. Looks like LSU got the short end of the Booty stick.

Good…Tennessee and Georgia looked good in week 1. Maybe people will lay off Fat Fulmer for a week or two.

Bad…Florida. I know the Gators won, but that game was very tight for the first 40 minutes. Urban Meyer may end up being an Urban Myth.

Good…TV shows are back on! Prison Break, Nip/Tuck, and Lost are must see TV at the Traylor household.

Bad…I don’t have HBO. If I did, I would be able to watch THE BEST SHOW ON TV – Deadwood. Believe the hype.

Good…Erin Andrews. #1 college sideline reporter this season.

Bad…Dude sideline reporters. What the hell is the point?

Good…Mikey Henderson (PR Georgia) returned a punt for a TD on his second return of the game.

Bad…Mikey Henderson. Returned his first punt for an apparent TD before showboating and fumbling the ball thru the endzone. Jackass!

Good…More football yet to come with the “U” and the “Criminoles” on Monday Night.

Bad…This game has been a bit of a stinker the last few years.

Finally...

Another "good" (or "bad," depending on your opinion of Ole Miss) was the win posted by the Rebels. This year, it seems, Ole Miss has a running attack, boasting two players (Green-Ellis and McCluster) who delivered solid performances. The downside for Ole Miss: a defense that gave up 374 total yards, including 225 passing yards, and which allowed Memphis to convert on nine of thirteen third-down conversions.
Another good: Oregon who racked up an impressive win over Stanford. Again, however, the defensive performance left something to be desired. The Cardinal put up 337 total yards; however, the Duck's D stopped them when it mattered, allowing only three of fourteen third-down conversions.
