1. I understand the need for cupcakes, but all these shitty games should NOT be on the same Saturday. You can't draw conclusions from these games because the competition is so bad.

This will never change; Week 2 will always be the most drek of drek weeks for multiple reasons; it is the week before widespread SEC play begins; game 2 is traditionally considered the week during which you see the most improvement-- and even bad teams, psychologically, are not going to want fans and players both jumping off the wagon before mid-September; for those teams who play in feature/intersectional high profile season openers, it is a breather and regrouping time; for the teams that draw conference foes in week 1, it is a chance to get a sure home game or rebound from starting the season with a loss; as most of the rest of the country is eyeball deep in playing OOC games his week, it isn't like there is a deep pool of opponents from which to draw top competition available.

Week 2 is always the heart of garbage season, and it always will be.
