Washington Huskies defense outplays Trojan offense for the 16 to 13 victory.

May cost USC a championship nationall title bowl game.

They always seem to have that one bad road game, last year it was Oregon St and prior to that it was Stanford. In the end they'll win the Pac-10 and lay the smackdown on another overrated Big 10 pansy in the Rose Bowl...

Yeah I'm not surprised Washington is back. They went toe-to-toe with LSU and have beaten USC. They have a good chance to win the Pac 10 IMO.

Texas looked pretty good, but not overly impressive. Miami deserves a hard look after another big win.

If Miami starts out 4-0 they should move to #2 IMO.

They've played Florida State, Georgia Tech and have VT and OU next.

No trying to disrespect the Canes, but they beat a couple of ACC teams.... They'll still need to prove themselves before they reach that status. Sure they beat Florida St(I know they pummeled BYU who was lucky to beat OU...imo) and Geo.Tech, but your right the next two games will be huge...

BTW what the heck happened to your Bears... I thought UConn was ripe for the taken...

They got shut down by Uconn's defense. It was a rough weekend the only positive was the Titans losing.

Georgia Tech is a very good team. They beat Georgia last year when Georgia was good.

Plus the Canes rolled them.

I think the U may be back. Which would be nice for the ACC. If the U rolls VT and OU they gotta be #2 in my book.

Yeah they rolled Georgia in the second half of their game, but if my memory serves me correctly Tech was rolled by LSU(and the Tigers weren't that good last year) in their Bowl game and Georgia beat Mich.St. You can't draw parallels like that. The Canes will need to run the table to be considered as a major player IMO. That said the SEC will do somebody a favour because they all can't finish with perfect records when they start knocking heads...

As it stand Florida-Texas appears to be the game. I think it would be the best game we've had since the USC-Texas game because Mac Brown always does well in bowl games as does Urban Meyer. However upsets for both teams are more likely than not. Football is an any given day kind of game.

That would or should have been the match up last year.

Ok folks Another Saturday and upsets have already happened on Thursday.

The Ole Miss loss really surprised me(afterall they were my darkhorse in the SEC West), but the Canes vs. VT result didn't suprise me. Like I said before who did the Canes beat....now the Oregon score who would of thought....

Good luck tomorrow...., Bill...

lsiberian, did you hear that Griffin is out for the year. Torn ACL!!! Bad News for my neck of the woods.

Yeah. It's a rough day for Baylor. I guess the program can't catch a break. Still Briles is a good enough coach to still make some noise.

Look at what he left behind in Houston. They just beat Tech and Oklahoma State back to back weeks.

What really sucks is that ticket sales were going better than I have seen in a long time. Now I am sure it is going to trickle back down. Always seems to happen that way for us. Just when you think it might be looking up...

If they would just sell beer at the game!!!! That will never happen.

Yeah but it could mean a medical redshirt. So maybe Briles recruits can get some action with Griffith.

Injuries happen.

An alright weekend, but next weekend should be much more interesting

These are rankings for the computer poll and seem to show us our preconceptions may be misplaced. You'll notice its a combination of record and strength of schedule that determines rankings for this computer poll.

I think it's a bit better than the human polls at this point.

It's OU vs Texas time

Anybody tell Texas there was a game today? Total domination by the Sooners defence! FWIW...I'm looking forward towards USC pounding ND.... and Bama continuing their climb towards #1....

Texas is dominating OU just as much.

The 1st half numbers favored the Sooners and that 2Q was very sloppily played. Now how about theeee OU losing to Purdue..... Iowa looks like the only respectable team in that conference!

Boise State is better than that conference, probably the big east and maybe the ACC.

this is a very interesting photo. It seems that Florida had some help winning their game.

Moral of the story pay the refs more Arkansas.
