College Football Fallout

Another week, another big upset, another loss for a marquee program. The Pac 10 leads the SEC 1-0 in the showdown, let's see who came out on tap as it all falls out right now.
- 3 TD's for Steve Slaton, and a big road win for West Virginia on Thursday. That was the non-con test the Mountaineers needed to boost their computer standing.
- Air Force looks like a force after the beat TCU in OT. The team once thought of as BCS busters seems busted at 1-2.
- OK State fell at Troy. Ouch.
- Indiana is 3-0 and could sneak into a bowl game.
- Michigan State is 3-0 with a nice win over Pitt. Purdue is 3-0.
- Big road win for the hot seated Al Groh in North Carolina.
- Syracuse is the worst major conference team, and that includes Duke.
- Cincy went to Miami of Ohio and smashed 'em 47-10. The Bearcats are 3-0.
- Penn State ramped up the offense against Buffalo, and seems like the team to beat in the Big 10 after Wisconsin struggles in their win over The Citadel.
- What's going on at Auburn? A home loss to Mississippi State? That win may save Sly Croom his job. Minus 1 for the SEC, 0 to -1 Pac 10.
- Clemson could be a dark horse for the ACC title.
- Minnesota lost at Florida Atlantic. That's pretty bad.
- Florida and Tim Tebow proved it's still among the SEC elite by putting up 59 against Tennessee. That was an enourmous statement for the Gators.
- It keeps getting worse for Notre Dame as 0-2 Michigan punished them 38-0. Notre Dame is sure living up to its name, the Dame part that is. They're playing like women. Charlie Weis is going back to training camp, and they may need a whole lot more than that.
- Rutgers and Oklahoma go to 3-0 with cupcake killings.
- Very good win for Ohio State at Washington. The Huskies are tougher then they look.
- First Arkansas State, and now UCF gives Texas a bigtime scare. I don't think that the Longhorns can win the Big 12 this year if they could barely hold off these teams.
- Miami beat Florida International on the field, not off of it.
- UCLA was absolutely shocked by Utah, and it wasn't even close. They were thoroughly dominated by the Utes, minus one for the Pac 10. -1 to -1.
- Big C-USA win for Southern Miss on the road at East Carolina.
- Easy win for Cal over LaTech, who almost beat Hawaii last week.
- Alabama and Nick Saban are nack on the national radar after a huge upset of Arkansas. The Tide are back as a threat in the SEC, add one point for the southeast. 0 to -1 SEC.
- Baylor only beat Texas State by a TD, that's trouble for the Bears.
- Kansas is 3-0. they're a program on the rise.
- Spurr Dog is bringing South Carolina to prominence, he has to be one of the best college coaches of our generation.
- Everyone talks about Cal, USC, and UCLA but nobody talks about Oregon. The Ducks have cemented themselves as a top 3 Pac 10 team.
- Matt Ryan will be an NFL star. 435 yards in the air as BC blitzed GT 24-10. The Eagles are for real, and Ryan is the reason.
- Upset of the week and a huge blow to the Big East as Kentucky scored a TD in the last minute to shock Louisville. Score one for the SEC, 1 to -1 SEC. Andre' Woodson may have outplayed Brian Brohm in this one, and it was a sensational matchup for QB's. I hope they play this game more often if they don't do already.
- Even Duke can win, and Northwestern is pathetic as ever.
- Good bounce back win for Boise State against a good Wyoming team.
- USC easily made the statement of the week when they absolutely spanked Nebraska in Lincoln. 1 point for the Pac 10, 1-0 SEC.
- Arizona State is quietly 3-0 going into conference play.
- Colt Brennan made quick work of UNLV as Hawaii romped over the Runnin Rebs.
