Week 3 Preview

After two weeks, an obvious delta between the conferences can be seen. Every team in the Big XII has beaten an FBS team, and the entire Big XII South division is undefeated. On the other hand, less than half of the ACC and only one third of the Big East have beaten an FBS team. Not surprisingly, every team in the Sun Belt has lost already, and the MAC has just one unbeaten team left in Temple.

Wake Forest has scored 107 points in two games. The Demon Deacons only scored 104 in the first four games last season.

I was right about Florida and Alabama making statement games last week, but I completely missed on Oklahoma doing the same. The Sooners are looking more like the team I predicted to make the BCS National Championship Game.

After two weeks, there are 46 teams without a loss. Only 21 teams are winless. There are only five teams from AQ conferences without a win: North Carolina, Virginia Tech, Oregon St, UCLA and Vanderbilt.


A look at this week's upcoming games:
Iowa at Arizona - Two teams with Rose Bowl dreams looking for a big non-conference win. Iowa won this game 27-17 last year at Kinnick Stadium.
Nebraska at Washington - Nebraska gets their first test of the season. We'll know a lot more about the Huskers after this one.
Clemson at Auburn - ESPN College Gameday is going to be at this game. I think they should be in Tucson, but they don't appear to be leaving SEC country.
Georgia Tech at North Carolina - The first of many big Coastal division matchups.
Cal at Nevada - An underrated game between two unbeatens. These two have combined to score 204 points in the past two weeks.
Arkansas at Georgia - Arkansas get the first test and it's on the road.
Tulsa at Oklahoma State - Do you like offense? There should be a ton of scoring in this one.
BYU at Florida St - I'm surprised that both of these teams were dominated last week.
Air Force at Oklahoma - This could be a good game that most aren't paying attention to. Or it could be a Sooner blowout.
Notre Dame at Michigan State - The Spartans could use five straight home games to get off to huge start. Well, technically they played one of those games in Detroit.
Texas at Texas Tech - I think the last time these two teams met in Lubbock, it was a pretty important game.
