SEC teams win 9 of 10 to start Week #1
Week #1 of the 2008 college football season is not over yet, but it sure did start well for the SEC (as expected). The nation’s top conference has won 9 of 10 games thus far with only Mississippi State’s surprising loss @ Louisiana Tech as the lone blemish for the conference. #1 Georgia rolled over Georgia Southern as did #5 Florida over Hawaii and #7 LSU over Appalachian State. #10 Auburn not only put up 34 points on Louisiana-Monroe, but their defense shut out the Warhawks just like South Carolina in their 34-0 win over NC State. Vanderbilt was an underdog @ Miami (OH) but won easily 34-13 and Ole Miss handled Memphis 41-24. Arkansas struggled to a 28-24 win over FCS member Western Illinois and Sylvester Croom’s Mississippi State Bulldogs fell @ LA Tech 22-14. In the nightcap on Saturday, the ACC’s top-ranked team, the #9 Clemson Tigers were man-handled by Nick Saban’s #24 Alabama Crimson Tide 34-10.
Two games involving SEC teams remain for Week #1 incluing Kentucky @ Louisville on Sunday and #18 Tennessee @ UCLA on Monday. Fans can find a great variety of SEC merchandise items online including Alabama apparel, Ole Miss clothing, Georgia hats, Auburn apparel & more at College Sports Fans.
