Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Ohio State Buckeyes - Recap - September 06, 2014 - ESPN

For this game, I actually think it's less about bad Ohio State and about a good Virginia Tech team. Look, we knew Ohio State was hobbled, but what a good job the Hokies did! This is their highest-ranked opponent they've ever beaten, and now I'm feeling a lot better about picking the Hokies in the ACC... and about me bailing on the Buckeyes.

This is definitely not the highest ranked team the Hokies have beaten:

Week 2 recap

And finally, it's time for "What we learned this week" (Week 2 edition)!

What I learned in Week 2 is this:

1. Either the Big 10 will be the most balanced conference in the country, or the weakest "Power 5" conference in the country.

2. Michigan is in big trouble.

3. Michigan State (despite the loss in Eugene) is now the big favorite in the Big 10.

4. Virginia Tech is on their way back to the top.

5. Some of the FBS "weak sisters" like New Mexico State, Army, Nevada, and Central Michigan aren't as helpless as we thought.

And finally, the Week 3 schedule is f---ing weak. There's a reason why College Gameday is going back to North Dakota State 6 days from now.

With that, I leave you to make lemonade out of your college games. See you on Thursday for another weekly thread!
