Saturday was Red Out Around the World day as Nebraska pointed to redemption from the 2009 Big XII Title game as Texas came to town. With the help of a Nebraska receiving core that could not catch a cold and strong interior line play, Texas turned red into burnt orange.....Arkansas is a fine team but you cannot call yourself elite and give up 65 points, in non overtime game, or is Auburn much better than first thought?......Kansas State destroyed Kansas in Lawrence, and the Turner Gill era is parked on pit road with alternator issues......Are the Gators not only losing but imploding? Florida continues to lack offensive firepower and desperately needs a kicking specialist. Motsinger?......After losing several in the closing minutes, Kentucky finally pulled one out, beating SC and Spurrier for the first time as a player or coach......Tim Brewster has been fired at Minnesota which will start the ball rolling on coaches getting canned.....Don't look now but Michigan State could well run the table, and so could Auburn with only Alabama in the way. If Auburn, Michigan State, Oklahoma and Boise State all finished unbeaten, it would seem to me the title game should then be Auburn vs. Oklahoma, a replay of the 1971 Sugar Bowl OU won 40-22.....I never did buy into Ohio State and was not surprised they were taken out in Madison....USC bombed Cal, and both of these teams are hot and cold..... Washington is emerging and will continue to get better in years to come.....You have to tip your hat to East Carolina, a team I labeled descending due to massive personnel losses, but they are playing their A game with a young team, and took out a decent NC State team in Greenville on Saturday....Florida State won ugly against a sound defensive team in Boston College, which has given FSU fits over the years, but this win would have been a loss in recent years past.....North Carolina has a 4 game winning streak going but has the 'Canes on Saturday night, which knocks someone out of the conference running.....Locally, UCF is playing well and is a bowl lock....At the end of the year, there will be a handful of ranked teams with 5 losses, and the Gators look to be one of them.
