Week 3 Wrap-Up

More conference games, and more conferences.  The Big Ten is coming back in October.

One thing I noticed with the ACC's divisionless schedule is that now it's harder to root for or against certain teams.  In any other year, I would have been rooting for Syracuse over Pitt, because it would help all of the other Coastal teams.  However this year, it's too early to tell which outcome would help the teams I prefer.

The only conference with conference games in the books is the ACC.  The new alignment is 15 teams each playing 10 conference games, with the top two teams going to the ACCCG.  We could run into a different kind of ACC chaos as each team will not play 4 other teams in the conference, so we are not guaranteed tiebreakers for every situation.

As usual, any records listed below will only be conference records.  Although in many cases, that will be the same as overall record.

In an effort to make it easier to keep track of tiebreakers with more games and fewer divisions, I'll be adding two extra lines under each team tracking wins and losses.  For now, I'll be eliminating the "controls destiny" and other categories, because those definitions will be floating for most of the season.
