You forgot the Wake Forrest @ Baylor score in the bottom section.  I don't know what it was of-hand, but I think wake won pretty handedly

Week 1 -- FINAL

1) USF's Game

SAT 08/30 -- 7:00pm -- Tennessee-Martin (0-0, 0-0) @ #19 South Florida (0-0, 0-0) -- [GAMEPLAN  |  Catch 47]

---

2) Games involving one or more schools on USF's 2008 schedule.

#30 Cincinnati (1-0, 0-0)  40   -  Eastern Kentucky (0-1, 0-0)    7

#39 Connecticut (1-0, 0-0)    35  -  Hofstra (0-1, 0-0)    3

#26 South Carolina (1-0, 0-0)    34  -  North Carolina State (0-1, 0-0)  0

Northwestern (1-0, 0-0)  30  -  Syracuse (0-1, 0-0)  10

Bowling Green (1-0, 0-0)  27  -  #25 Pittsburgh (0-1, 0-0)  17

#8 West Virginia (1-0, 0-0)  48  -  Villanova (0-1, 0-0)  21

Central Florida (1-0, 0-0)  17  -  South Carolina State (0-1, 0-0)  0

#14 Kansas (1-0, 0-0)  40  -  Florida International (0-1, 0-0)  10

Kentucky (1-0, 0-0)  27  -  Louisville (0-1, 0-0)  2

#27 Fresno State (1-0, 0-0)  24  -  #34 Rutgers (0-1, 0-0)  7

---

3) Games involving Notre Dame because of its ties to Big East bowl games.

#47 Notre Dame (0-0, 0-0) -- IDLE

---

4) Games involving teams two ranked teams and at least one of the teams is ranked higher than the 2nd highest Big East team.

If the highest and 2nd highest teams can move up and up the polls, then there is at least a chance that 2 Big East teams could make the 10 BCS slots.  Big East ranks: #8 West Virginia, #19 South Florda

Alabama (1-0, 0-0)  34  -  #9 Clemson (0-1, 0-0)  10

#6 Missouri (1-0, 0-0)  52  -  #20 Illinois (0-1, 0-0)  42

---

5) Games involving a Top 12 non-BCS team, or a Top 16 non-BCS team ranked higher than any BCS conference's highest ranked team.

If no teams from the non-BCS conferences make the BCS, then that would mean 4 at-large slots in the 5 BCS bowls.  This increases the chances for 2 Big East teams to be selected.

There are no Top 12 non-BCS teams or Top 16 non-BCS teams still ranked ahead of a BCS conference's higest ranked team:

Highest ranked non-BCS team: #16 Brigham Young

Lowest ranked BCS conference's highest ranked team: #9 Clemson (ACC)

      (SEC: #1, Big Ten: #2, Pac 10: #3, Big 12: #4, Big East: #8)

---

6) Other games of interest, including teams ranked near USF.

#23 Wake Forest (1-0, 0-0)  41  -  Baylor (0-1, 0-0)    7

#7 Louisiana State (1-0, 0-0)  41  -  Apalachian State (0-1, 0-0)  13
