2022 Week 2 wrap up

Happy New Year!  It's an interesting time for college football, as we are in the early stages of the Super Conference Realignment of 2022 and Beyond.  Over the last couple of years, different conferences have stated their intentions to change their format and scheduling, as several of them are trying the "two best team" format for their championship games.  The Pac-12 was the first to abolish divisions effective this season, although they will still play the same schedule.  This will be the final year of the divisions in the ACC.  And finally, as the games were getting ready to start on Friday night of week 1, the CFP announced that they were expanded to a 12 team format.

This certainly will make my efforts here more challenging, trying to keep track of who's in the running for what, but we're all here for chaos and madness.

I've held off on the weekly wrap up until every Power 5 conference had conference games in the books.
