We've had our first round of big upsets, with Arkansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Wisconsin all falling out of the Top 25. And with some big games on tap next Saturday (Clemson vs. Florida State, Kansas State vs. Oklahoma, Michigan vs. Notre Dame), a bunch of big names better not get caught looking ahead this week.
Here is what to watch for in college football this weekend.
Week One told us a few things. Like that Alabama is really, really good.
This week, we don’t have any matchups between ranked schools, but we do have some intriguing games that should tell us a bit more about some of these teams. Wisconsin, Nebraska, Oklahoma State and Florida all have challenging road games against BCS-conference opponents. Oklahoma and Stanford, who struggled last week, will try to work out some kinks. Missouri and Texas A&M get their first tastes of life in the SEC. Poor Savannah State will be obliterated by another Top 25 team. And Alabama and Arkansas can set up the first top 10 matchup of the season.
Here is what to look for this week in college football:
After an off-season filled with scandal and controversy, seeing college football back on the field was a welcome sight. While early season games for Top 25 teams often feature blowouts of lesser opponents (and we certainly had several of those), this week we were also treated to a pair of matchups between Top 25 teams as well as some outstanding individual efforts. Some questions were answered, other teams now have even more. Here is a recap of all the action in the Top 25 this weekend.
August 31, 2012 Hurricane Isaac did minimal damage in Acadiana, which is a great thing. For the most part not too many events were cancelled. Other than a couple of postponed high school football games, the schedule did not change too much.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. School is back in session. Everyone’s favorite team is undefeated. Every fan just knows their team is underrated and will be better than expected. And we can finally stop focusing on offseason scandals and politics. Yes, college football is finally back.
With that, here is everything you need to know to be ready for week one action.
Once Hurricane, now Tropical Storm Isaac’s trek through Acadiana is wreaking some havoc on high school football schedules this weekend.

An Oklahoma City kindergartner was recently made to go behind a tree and turn his shirt inside out before being allowed to return to school. The kid had the audacity to wear a shirt from a college outside the state of Oklahoma.
Despite President Obama’s constant referral to his Christian heritage, it seems as though Hank Williams, Jr. still questions the President’s personal religious beliefs. That mistrust was first spotlighted in the song ‘Keep the Change,’ a track from the singer’s latest album, ‘Old School, New Rules,’ and during an otherwise entertaining set at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 17, the ‘All My Rowdy Friends’ singer once again used his entertainer status to voice his distaste for the leader of the United States.
