So forgive me for being ecstatic about the local SoCal boys over achieving.
Now as far as the "The West frickin ruling", they certainly did their job against teams from the East:
USC def Virginia
UCLA def Tennessee
Cal def Michigan State
Fresno State def Rutgers
Utah def Michigan
What ACC or SEC team played a team from the West and won this weekend? And, what does your statement: "...nor does Oregon falling to Utah St." mean? Oregon played Washington and won.
Anyway, please excuse my blissful response to UCLA overcoming huge diversity and defeating Tennessee. But, accept the fact that the West did rule Eastern teams on opening day 2008!
Good luck next week!

My guess is that you looked at ESPN to get those results. So you already know the results of other significant games. As to the "East vs West" aspect of your post, I never have given any thought to such a rivalry. I'm pretty much an SEC guy. Other than the TN loss, the SEC looked pretty strong. Nobody but AL beat a significant opponent. But that's not far away. When it happens, the press will still be talking of USC & OSU like they talk about Obama. And again this year, the best division 1 football will be getting played in the SEC.
There's no better conference than the SEC. None. Let me count the ways: 1) Georgia has more talent than anyone in the nation. 2) Florida is the ultimate points machine, and Gators MLB Brandon Spikes would be my first pick to build a defense around. 3) LSU's D-line, with DT Ricky Jean-François and DE Tyson Jackson, is flat-out frightening. 4) Three second-tier teams—Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee—would contend in the other BCS conferences. 5) Both Ole Miss and Bama have the talent to pick off a fave on the right week. Like I said, there's no better conference. —KIRK HERBSTREIT
