On Thursday, Oregon trashed UCLA, and when the Quack Attack is clicking, they are most difficult to slow...For the third straight week, the AP #1 has fallen, the first time since 1960 this has occurred. Oklahoma has owned Missouri, and it seemed Mizzou would be down this year from significant personnel losses, but the Tigers beat OU solidly. At times, OU looked tired and seemed to lack the physicality to match Mizzou. But, OU seems to play good at home, but poor on the road. Ditto Cal. Nebraska seems better on the road, scoring big wins while absorbing losses in Lincoln. Very odd. Taylor Martinez bounced back and put up some eye pooping numbers as the Big Red took out undefeated Okie State down in Stillwater....Congratulations to Baylor, who behind the exceptional Robert Griffin III as signal caller, is bowl eligible. The Bears would have been a year ago, had Griffin not got hurt.....Miami put a very solid game together and squeezed North Carolina, but one is very apparent. The heavy home field advantage the 'Canes enjoyed in the Orange Bowl is gone....Syracuse got a huge win, taking out West Virginia in Morgantown and handing a Bill Stewart an inexplicable loss....Wisconsin got it done on the road, winning at Iowa but Sparty continues to win, escaping Northwestern in Evansville....After losing 43 in a row, Navy has not toppled Notre Dame 3 times in a row....Following last years upset of Nebraska at Lincoln, Iowa State got another big one in beating Texas in Austin. I would secure Coach Rhoads if I were them. The Clones ran it right at the Horns, and you have to ask yourself what Texas has going, getting whipped at home by UCLA, winning at Lincoln, and then losing to Iowa State?....Auburn beat LSU at home, and now they are squarely on a collision course with Alabama in the SEC West....Virginia Tech seems to be getting back on track, as they smothered Duke....Ga Tech got punted at Clemson, and both already have 3 losses....Maryland got a surprising win at Boston College, who is really struggling....Could Miami and FSU meet again in the ACC title game, which will be held in Charlotte?...If USC has anything, now would be a good time as Oregon comes calling... See ya next week. PHOTO/IMAGE SPORT
