Week one according to Killernut
Week one was filled with ups and downs but mostly yellow, as in yellow flags. It was tough to watch all of the mistakes, I mean most of them the refes had to throw them. Mental mistakes show that there are an unusual amount of young teams playing this year, not just Ohio State.
Instant replay was okay, but week one wasn't a very good judge imo, Nothing game changing happened in any Big Ten game. Most were blowouts other than Michigan State (who is much worse than I thought) and Northwestern who should be holding open tryouts for a kicker.
Now I am done with the refs lets look at the games. Most of the National Championship contenders struggled early but put teams away late USC, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State?, ect. LSU took it to the limit against Oregon State however, this is why they are a dangerous team. IF they are as good as I think and others think this could be there one game and they won it. What do I mean by there one game. Most undefeated teams have one game they play that they should've or at least could've lost, but some how they pull through. LSU is going to have another week to work out the kinks, they have a stud 5 star freshman recruit as their QB who is only going to get better, but looks good now. The only thing that could hurt this team is injury imo. Most look and LSU and see a team that is bound to loose, I see a very serious National Championship contender.
Since I have discussed a little bit about both my DOH' of the week goes to both Oregon State's, and Northwestern's kickers.
Big Ten winners overall won big. Minnesota, and Purdue however were very surprising and very impressive. I didn't see much of the Wiscky game but the score looked good. After seein the teams I would adjust my projected standings to look like this:
Killernut Big Ten Power rankings:
1) Ohio State
1) Minnesota
3) Purdue
3) Michigan
3) Iowa
6) Wisconsin
7) Penn State
8) Illinois
8) Northwestern
8) Indiana
11) Michigan State
For ND Cheif: Notre Dame needs to join the sun belt conference, if they want to win again, forget about the ACC/Big Ten.
In short a whole lot of nothing happened to the big time programs not only in the Big Ten but accross the country. Next week the madness should begin.
