Well Folks, there you have it. College Football has returned, and my oh my did we need it. For so long I felt like a fish out of water, gasping and hoping that what sustains my livelihood, College Football, would return — and it has. Week one was exciting, full of close games, and truth telling; reminding us that preseason rankings hold about as much value as pennies at parking meters. We saw breakout performances by young quarterbacks, namely Kenny Hill out out of Texas A&M, who in his CFB debut passed for 511 yards and 3TDs against the South Carolina Gamecock defense. *Que the “Kenny Football” chants*. We also saw outstanding, and not so outstanding, displays of talent by our own teams right here in the PAC-12, so for this week, here are your PAC-12 Power Rankings.
