VOTES: Georgia Tech (12), Pittsburgh, Utah, Oregon, Michigan State, Notre Dame, Washington, Oregon State, UCLA, Kentucky, Oregon State.

It certainly appears Miami is back as they detroyed Georgia Tech, a team which manhandled the Hurricanes a year ago and brought back 18 starters.....Notre Dame held off Michigan State, which may have saved the job for Charlie Weis....Cincinnati won on the road out at Oregon State, which I label a strong road win.....Ole Miss and Alabama are on collision course.......Nebraska played the prevent defense like a fiddle and prevented themselves from a victory at Blacksburg after dominating the Hokies all day. Pelini should have known better.....Tennessee did not get killed at Florida which may or may not be telling......As usual, Southern Cal drops one to an inferior conference foe, something we warned about in our pre-season comments. They need a quarterback, as do many other teams......It is all there for LSU if they are as good as I think they may be......And How bout them 'Noles!!!! Greg Reid, who we identified in our FSU preview, sealed BYU's Fate:

It was the first complete game for the Seminoles in quite some time.....Still not sure about Penn State after the lightweights they are playing and will play, but I'll say they are not top ten quality.....UNC seems lethargic this season so far.....October 10 will be a big weekend with many colossal collisions, including LSU and Florida.....Sorry to hear about the season ending injury for USF QB Matt Grothe. I have been following him for years and he is very talented. Hope he heals up strong for NFL consideration....Georgia and Arkansas had quite a barn burner as they left the defenses at the team hotel.
