Week 1 wrap-up

We have finally come to the end of what ESPN billed as the "Greatest Opening Weekend Ever".  Honestly, while that could be true, compared to other opening weekends, I felt like much of Saturday was a bit of a let down.  During the primetime window, when Clemson/Auburn and USC/Alabama were both on, Tony and I were actually feeling a bit bored.  Now, Sunday was a different story with the Notre Dame/Texas game being the best game of the weekend.

And we actually got some conference games.




ACC
Atlantic
Boston College has a cross-divisional loss to Georgia Tech.  Otherwise, everyone is still alive for the divisional race.

Coastal
Georgia Tech leads the division with a cross-divisional win over Boston College.  Everyone else is 0-0 in conference.  UVA does have the distinct embarrassment of being dominated by an FCS team.

Overall, the ACC went 11-3 in week 1.  One of those losses was guaranteed due to a conference game.  The other losses came from the SEC and CAA.

SEC
East
South Carolina (1-0) leads the conference with a win over Vanderbilt.
Vanderbilt (0-1) needs two SC losses.

West
No conference games, although the West took a hit, only going 3-4 in week 1.

Everyone in the Big 12, B1G, and Pac-12 is still 0-0 in conference play.
