Ok...Pitt-Nebraska was one of the most bizarre games I've ever watched, with the freakin' Fuskers pulling it out 7-6 in a really strange finish...Nebraska's offense sucked, but their defense saved their asses, and Pitt...man were they overrated...0-3 in their non-conference schedule...who would've expected that???
In other final scores:
Louisville 63, Oregon State 27
Michigan 55, Eastern Michigan 0
Georgia 44, Louisiana-Monroe 7
Virginia Tech 45, Ohio 0
Ohio State 27, San Diego State 6
Iowa 45, Northern Iowa 21
In games in progress:
Michigan State has a slight lead over Notre Dame in the 4th...
UCLA up by 17 on Mobilehoma in the 4th
Illinois shocking Cal 17-7 at the half...
Miami holding a 3 point lead on Clemson late in the 4th...
Buffs are off this week so I have no commentary on them, except that I'm rootin for Clemson to pull it out as we play Miami in the Orange Bowl next week, and to go in there with Miami being 0-2 would be freakin' awesome...

That Pitt-Nebraska game was pretty nuts. Just watched the ending and it seemed like 2 sad teams, shadows of their former self. By the way, watching the game reminded me just how shitty the Nebraska helmet logo looks. Honestly, thats the weakest ass N in history. Whoever came up with the idea to but an narrow arial N on a helmet should have a husk shoved up their ass.
*end rant*
The WIS-UNC kickoff is being delayed due to expected thunderstorms.

Vandy's got a good QB in Jay Cutler, throwing for 308 yards and rushing for 70 today. Although he didn't score today, he did account for 378 of his offense's yards.

Looks like the stars that were supposed to align over Pittsburgh somehow made their way south a few hundred miles to Nashville

And UCLA blows OU out of the rankings with their victory.
UCLA 41
OU 24
UCLA, and especially Drew Olson played beautifully. One thing that bothers me is the attention that ESPN keeps giving to Adrian Peterson not starting because he stopped attending class. One writer went to criticize Stoops for actually enforcing the rules...

Seeing the corruption that went into the first two polls after play began, wouldn't surprise me if OU managed to slip in there again...the polls suck, to be frank...

Here on the west coast there is usually this general feeling that the rankings are biased against western teams.

Fightin' Texas Ags 66
SMU 8
Now TCU (Texas Christian) laid the wood to OU. SMU then spanked TCU in Wk 2. This week, A&M bent SMU over and took them up the poop chute. Ergo (if my football algebra is correct), Texas A&M should be #1 in the polls.
I'm sure Rice thanks t.u. for the shlacking they received. Can't wait til Thanksgiving.

Chokelahoma lost. Good
Miami beat Clemsuck. Great
Fresno blows early lead to Oregon...loses. That pissed me off.
The shocker of the day....Mighty Stanford of the PAC-10 falls to D-IAA UC Davis, who is fresh out of DII only 2 years ago. Man, I gave my friend who is a diehard Stanford fan shit about that one. 20-17! UCD scored on a last second TD pass. Stanford's offense never scored. I'm still laughing about that one.

UC-Davis has a football team? I gotta see that! I didn't know Birkenstocks came in cleats. Probably a synthetic pigskin, too!

In a different version of the Pac-10/Division I-AA matchup, Washington State wiped up Grambling State 48-7 to move to 3-0 for the first time since 2001. Of course, that 3-0 doesn't mean a ton, since it's against Idaho, Nevada and Grambling, but hey, I'll take it!

I just got back from Shreveport at 4:00AM. It was depressing that neither offense could score on either defense until they got tired in the second half. The Big Game in the Big Easy turned out to be...not so big as Vandy whooping it up for a 3-0 start over Fulmer getting it handed to him at Florida.
Didn't get to see Vandy prevail over University Motors on our bus, though, as the satellite tracker wasn't tracking on the way to the game. Saw Arkansas struggle against USC on the way home, though.

I would like to see USC play Texas in the title game. It is very possible, but of course anyone who plays these teams will want to play the role of a spoiler. Texas still has to be careful when they play Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl. It does not seem to matter how the teams are ranked. Texas should win out, but stranger things have happened. Then, they have to deal with Texas Tech's passing game and the game against Texas A&M which could go either way. Now, if Texas can will all of those games, then they deserve the shot at the title.

Great games of the day...
UM-CLEM damn I was rooting for Clemson in that game....I hate the Canes
ND-MSU
UF-TENN
And my alma mater USF rolled over UCF 31-14...I think I'm going to score some tickets for the USF-Louisville game this weekend...USF has beat them before so it should be a great matchup!

2 out of my 3 preferred outcomes happened.
Clemson lost
NC State won
South Carolina lost
Don't care who the Tigers are playing, as I'll root against Clemson no matter what. NC State's playing host to UNC in a local rivalry game and, USC is playing host to Troy. So, as always, go Cocks, go 'Pack, and go to hell Clemson!
South Carolina - too small to be its own country, too big to be a mental asylum.
