We learned a lot in this first work in college football, but it still hasn't all been resolved. We'll start if off with a quick rundown of what we did and did not learn on Christmas Morning for college football fans.
What we learned: Only 4 of the top 10 teams weren't scared to schedule solid opponents in Week 1 (UF, Mizzou, LSU, and Clemson), Clemson should have scheduled a middle of the road Big 10 team and not one from the SEC (Alabama), I can pick a ball game (see next post, Week 1), LSU is not a pushover (look at score vs. App State), Wake Forest is the team to beat in the ACC (41-13 win vs Baylor), the ACC is crap, Mark Sanchez faked his injury (more USC publicity), Percy Harvin is not the only fragile speed demon in the country (Maclin-Wells), there is a faster player than Trindon Holliday (Jeffrey Demps), Ray Rice was the only reason Mike Teel passed for 3000 yards last year, the SEC is the most dominant conference in the country (10-2 in Week 1), East Carolina will be a match for West Virginia (win vs #17 Virginia Tech), FIU is still the worst team in college football, and Jake Locker is not the next Tim Tebow
What we didn't learn: how good the top 4 teams in the country are (opponets-Georgia Southern, Youngstown State, Virginia, and Chatanooga), if the defenses at Texas Tech and UF are really as fast as they looked, if LeSean McCoy is truly a Heisman candidate, and who the frontrunner is the for the same award.
Sadly, there's now more certainties than questions, but there's still enough to keep us bloggers...er, blogging. Week 2 could answer more of our wonderings, but could also give us more. It should be fun, which is why we do this.

Hey man, really good job on your picks in Week 1. I unfortunately, bought into the Clemson hype. I should know better.
The best part about week 1 being over, is that Florida gets to turn it's attention to trash talkin' Miami. I can't wait to take the Seminole War Canoe back this year!
Thanks for posting on the kingsofcollegefootball.com. Your website is sweet, glad you found us. But I do agree with leakbrewer, the Seminole War Canoe is definitely in the hands of the Florida Gators this Saturday. Keep it up man.
