South Carolina got the biggest win in school history knocking of a top ranked team for the first time in school history in dumping Alabama 35-21. The Cocks controlled the game the whole way.....Auburn dodged an upstart Kentucky team and may run the table....Stanford got a signature win over USC last year but barely got a victory last night.....Michigan State looks like the top challenger to Ohio State in the Big Ten after defeating Michigan....Illinois spanked Penn State in Happy Valley and it looks like the Lions are heading for a losing season, which would likely be the end for Joe Paterno.....Utah blasted a decent Iowa State team, which surprised me.....Georgia got a big win over Tennessee between the hedges, which was my lock of the week.....Florida looks like it may suffer a few more marks in the loss column as they search for offensive identity....Clemson seems like a good team, but they are 2-3 and seem to lack firepower, and if only North Carolina had all those players.

Brent Musburger of ABC was discussing how far Alabama should fall, and he actually thought 3 would be fair. For the love of Bear, just go ahead and rank them #1 again. As good as Alabama may be, they did give up 35 points and lost by two touchdowns.

Nebraska, behind a salty defense, is the new top ranked team. While we knew about the Blackshirts, for Nebraska to challenge for the national title, the quarterback position need to be upgraded, and after what the nation saw Thursday night from Taylor Martinez as the 'Huskers blasted K-Sate, it has been. Martinez is lighting fast hitting the hole and, as a redshirt freshman, he could be quite special by the time he is finished in Lincoln. GBR!



Down in Miami, the Florida State Seminoles laid a smackdown on the Miami Hurricanes and served notice about the bright future in store in Tallahassee. Rarely have the Hurricanes been physically manhandled in this fashion prompting ESPN's Kirk Herbstriet to question the 'Canes heart. FSU had looked sluggish this season, but they may have been sand bagging. Last night, the Seminoles won each facet of the game in domineering fashion. How Bout Them 'Noles!
