Tonight's Pick

What have we learned so far this young 2011 season? If you have dreams of BCS games dancing in your head, it is prudent to schedule Cupcake U. opening week. Oregon, Notre Dame, TCU and Georgia would all have been better off facing weaker competition this weekend. All four of those teams made the kind of mistakes that one could expect this early in the season. And while it is true that their opponents were in a similar boat, the reality is that most of the Top 25 played someone they could beat even if they played poorly. And compounding the issue for the four mentioned week one losers is that they do not even have a cupcake scheduled for week two, and so to avoid falling to 0-2 Oregon must beat Nevada, ND has to win a night game in Ann Arbor, TCU must win at Air Force and Georgia has to beat South Carolina.
Today I love SMU getting 15 points from an over-rated Texas A&M squad.
