There were some serious decleaters this weekend, but few rivaled the collision that took place in Stillwater as Poke QB Zac Robinson got blasted on the way to paydirt.


Like many, I thought Stanford would take out a limping USC, but I had no idea they would dismantle the Trojans the with such authority. The game was not close and apparently the handshake at the end of the game between Pete Carroll and Jim Harbaugh did not go well......OU, who Nebraska held without a touchdown last week for the first time under Bob Stoops, made Texas A&M pay for it.....Florida is winning ugly but I doubt it will catch up to them......Michigan will have consecutive losing seasons and that cannot be sitting well.....Notre Dame had a comeback effort but lost at Pittsburgh and one has to think Brian Kelly is on his way to South Bend.....Georgia had just enough in the tank to get by Auburn.....Tennessee got blasted at Ole Miss, and the Rebels looked like the team many thought they would be coming into the year.....TCU is for real, and they smacked Utah hard.....USF got shutout for the first time in school history at the Rutgers, and it was worse that the 31-0 score indicated..... UCF got a big time win for homecoming, defeating a ranked team for the first time ever in dumping Houston and cancelling Cougar quarterback Case Keenum as a potential Heisman winner.....Texas got all over a fairly decent Baylor team and may be peeking about the right time.....It sure does look like Alabama is better than Florida, but the Gators may just play to the competition.

Florida State salvaged the season behind quarterback EJ Maunel, who in his first start and only real gametime action looked brilliant at Wake Forest as the 'Noles looked like the team that flattened BYU. Beat Maryland at home this week and that will extend the bowl streak to 28. I am sure EJ earned some tomahawks for his performance, but where to put them as we roll out black helmets next week.
