It is all about Texas now after coming back from behind and defeating Oklahoma going away and then absolutely dismantling a powerful Missouri team, the one you remember that crushed Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl last year. Now comes Oklahoma State, and it shall be quite a tussle, one I will be watching along with T Boone.

Brigham Young got spanked by a very aggressive TCU team, whose defensive unit is something to behold. No 5 star Rival recruits on it, but they fly to the ball. Ask BYU.....Several ACC teams team bit the dust, inclusive of Va. Tech, North Carolina and Wake Forest....This opens the door for FSU, if they can break the threshold with a home victory vs. Virginia Tech Saturday.....Michigan is in serious jeopardy of failing to make a bowl game for the 34th consecutive season, leaving Nebraska the longest at 35. Florida State will take over with longest current streak at 26 with 27 almost a lock at this point.....Ohio State gets a crack at Penn State, and we can only hope the Buckeyes performance is better than the last big stage they were on...It is the third Saturday in October, which means Alabama faces a downtrodden Tennessee.....Other high profile contests include Texas Tech at Kansas and Georgia at LSU....Tulsa joins Ball State and enters the Top 25 this week on the heels of a high powered offense....Auburn and West Virginia square off Thursday night in a loser may not go bowling tilt, and that has to have folks on plain head scratching.

It is halfway through he season and there is some outstanding ball being played. Among the all stars, several are worthy of mention when it comes to the Heisman Trophy. If the award were handed out today, it would go to Texas quarterback Colt McCoy, and it should. He has a completion percentage difficult to accomplish playing catch in the back yard much less against top 25 competition. It will be interesting to see the rest of the way.
