The national headlines will tell tales of a disastrous week for the Big XII, SEC dominance, and the unstoppable force of Tua Tagovailoa. Here at the College Football Tournament, we have similar headlines: a disastrous week for the American, Hawaii dominance, and the unstoppable force of Mason Fine. Half of Week 1’s ten eliminations came from the AAC, putting a dent in their “Power 6” claim and potentially the long term hopes of the top-level teams from the conference; Hawaii continues to be the most surprising team of the early season, with two notches already on the Rainbow Warrior elimination belt; Mason Fine torched SMU with a supremely efficient 40 completions for 444 yards and 3 TDs.
