Conference Power Rankings Week 2

Well, it was probably the most boring weekend of the college football season, at least on paper, and especially after week 1.

No ranked teams, in either the coaches or the AP poll, played each other this week. Congrats to the Big Ten for going undefeated in week 2--the best opponent the conference played was Oregon State, and even that isn't saying much because it was in Happy Valley. Good job Big Ten in scheduling those powder puffs.

There were some shockers, most notably East Carolina taking down No. 8 West Virginia.

And how about that stupid excessive celebration rule that gave pretty much screwed Washington out of an overtime game? Can we change that please? It takes part of the reason why college football is so fun away from the game.
