Some wild close games today...

And no upsets? Come on man... I'm glad we won. Washington took Cal to overtime with a green QB on his first start. Nebraska almost takes out Texas, Mississippi State almost takes out Georgia, Brady Quinn manages to piece together a game-winning drive against UCLA... Anything else I'm missing?

Michigan State/Northwestern... Kansas blew another big lead, this time to Baylor. Not the big games, but tight/close finishes/big comeback games.

It'd also be super cool if Oregon made some sort of miraculous comeback and won considering I had picked Wazzu in a pick'ems and changed to Oregon this morning.

Although the final was 20-6, Iowa hung within a touchdown for about 55 minutes with Michigan.

Iowa is the Alabama of the Big Ten when it comes to showing up for games... Alabama gets a scare from Duke, Iowa loses to Indiana. Alabama hangs right with Florida and Tennessee, Iowa hangs right with Michigan.

Oregon's toast. Wazzu wins. Now only if UCLA coulda beat ND. The only time I changed it away from the Bama game, for about a minute and a half.

Speaking of Duke, they had Miami... That would have made my day to see Dook beat Miami on the gridiron.

Quinn didn't piece anything together. UCLA quit bringing pressure(dropping 7 into coverage) and was playing soft coverage. They also forgot how to tackle.

ND executed as well. They were fired up on that last drive, the blocking was quality.

That pump fake by Quinn was pretty strong, IMO.

Rushing 4 is what lost the game for UCLA.

Yup. They were conceding 15 yards every play. JS wasn't even moving on the 2nd play. He ran was just standing on the sideline 18 yards from the line of scrimmage for like 8 seconds. I don't understand how the UCLA defense wasn't blanketing him and McKnight.

None of the games have been as good as this USF/Cincinatti game I'm watching. 2-0 in the 3rd quarter!?
