Both Boise State and Utah lost ground with me due to what I consider sub par performances....Robert Griffith III and Baylor get a signature win and dispose of Texas at Austin....NC State, behind great play from their all conference signal caller Russell Wilson, outlasted FSU, whose senior quarterback violated rule #1 in football, protecting the ball; twice, which will and did get us beat...USC put up a good effort but Oregon played fast and loose and beat Troy....With undefeated top ten opponents visiting, both Nebraska and Iowa exploded out of the gate to blast unbeatens Missouri and Michigan State respectively....Maryland is 6-2 after hanging 62 on Wake Forest, but with Miami up next, we will find out if the Terps are for real... Speaking of Miami, this was supposed to be the year, but the wheels appear to be falling off, and with sub par recruiting over the last few years, things could get worse in 2011....OU bombed Colorado, and Dan Hawkins simply must be dismissed...Florida met Georgia in Jacksonville at The Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party and someone had to win. Given what Georgia decided to do offensively in overtime was, well, offensive, so the Gators win....Syracuse looks like some life is being found in the program after two big wins.

CBS Sports had a great piece on the tradition of Nebraska football. After pounding previously unbeaten Missouri, the Cornhuskers control their own destiny for a Big XII Championship before moving to Big 10.
