It was a big weekend in Tallahassee with ESPN Gameday in town as Florida State hosted top ranked Oklahoma. In front of the largest crowd at Doak in a decade, the Seminoles could not hold off the Sooners, who finally got a big road win. Florida State was able to slow the Sooners high octane offense for the most part, but FSU could not manufacture nearly enough offense to get the win.


While OU is off and running towards a chance for a national title, Florida State must now concentrate on winning the ACC and letting the stage set itself. For FSU, this begins with a big road game at Clemson this weekend, who ended Auburn's winning streak at 17. Clemson fell behind by a pair of touchdowns and looked about to be run out of the building, but they kept their composure and gained control of the game, winning going away......Perhaps Notre Dame had built up anger over their 0-2 start, but they let Michigan State have it......Penn State very nearly lost at Temple, behind almost the whole game......Iowa rallied back to defeat Pitt... Vanderbilt stomped Ole Miss, and Houston we have a problem.....As we thought, Miami dumped Ohio State, and the Buckeyes have several more losses coming....UCF, off to a great start and gaining national recognition, lost to FIU, who very quietly now has wins over Louisville and UCF....Iowa State is 3-0, beating UCONN Friday night.....Illinois took out Arizona State, who was hoping for a big year...LSU looks very good, as does Wisconsin.....Not sure what has happened to the Blackshirts at Nebraska, but with 9 defensive starters back from a year ago, they can't stop anybody, which is most concerning......Florida looks better than most thought, drowning Tennessee, who is not back just yet......West Virginia held on to beat Maryland.....South Carolina escaped the Naval Academy 24-21... Next week brings some good games, including Alabama and Arkansas, Florida State at Clemson, LSU at West Virginia and Oklahoma State at Texas A&M.
